Erick Erickson
Takes pleasure in announcing that he proposes
to entertain with another big
PARTY
at the
Rapids Club
FRIDAY NIGHT
The crowds continue to enjoy themselves at
these parties because here it is possible for everyone
to eat, drink and be merry. The music is good, the
lights are bright and everyone comes with the
avowed intention of enjoying themselves. That is
why the Rapids Club is the merriest spot in the
Bonneville Dam area. Here you can meet your
friends, forget your troubles and spend the kind of
an evening that makes life a delight. So come along.
Come by yourself or make up a crowd.
