At tho meeting of the director!
of the l'rioeville Commercial Club

nea of importance waa transacted.
The matter of advertining the
community at proposed by the
Harriman railway ivitema waa dis
cussed and left open until another

In the matter of advertising the
Richardson meeting three means
were decided upon, which were as
follows: First by a quantity of let
ters to be Issued and mailed by W.
V. King, second by the use of 600
posters and newspaper advertising,
and third by the liberal use of the
telephone systems on the two days
prior to the date of meeting. The
telephoning will be done by all the
business men of the town who will
meet at the telephone centrals to
gether and act in unison so that no
two men will 'phone the same
party.
It was decided that the meeting
should begin at 2 p. m , and that
every one, especially the people
living In the country, be urged to
attend, as the meeting and Its
result will, in fact, be more for the
farmer than anyone else.
It was moved and carried that
the secretary be empowered to get
any and all help required to handle
the correspondence on band and
the mailing of the booklet to the
lists of names provided by the Port
land Commercial Club, until such
