open iorum meeting of the Salem I
Commercial club at the Grand opera
house. A total of50 new members

i The lower floor of the opera honse

the business men and property own
ers who are interested in the. prog
ress of Industrial Salem in closer
contact with the activities and ad
Tantages of the club, j

; The first of the speakers was
C. WInslow, who discussed the ad
vantages that are enjoyed by Salem
in. the way of natural resources as
well as Industrial developments al
ready accomplished.
. Among the possibilities Mr. Wins-
low called attention to tne nax. irun
r dairying and manufacturing 'indus

of unlimited extension.

F. G. Deckebach discussed "Bet

relative Importance of the Commer

ened the Commercial club to a
church, comparing the upbuilding
, spiritual influence of a church to the
upbuilding of the industrial resourc

; Kay Tells Necessity.
Thomas B. Kay was, .next speaker
' an spoke on the "necessity of sup
porting the Commercial Club." Mr
' Kay told when the Commercial club
was first started about 15 years ago
that the streets along the cartraeks
. were covered with weeds, and that
residents harvested a crop of hay
every year from the city property
, and that there was "not a complete
paved street In Salem, There was
not a hotel In the city that could be
rated above third class. The Com
tnerclal club was formed and served
as an aggressive element In securing
city improvements and was the nuc
leus of the progressive movements of
the city, which are In evidence now.
And for these reasons Insists that
; every business man of Salem should
I e be a member of the Salem Commer
clal club. It has been proven that
. the larger the organization the great
: er th results, and by the correct
co-operation of all the business men
of Salem through the Commercial
clam Mr. Kay can see no reason why
: population of Salem cannot be boost
ed to forty or fiftytbousand in the
next four yean.
; i 'The Commercial club Is a bus!
ess Institution and the f fleers
should be furnished with the toeces-
: ary financial aupport.' 'said . Fred
erick Schmidt, of the Pbez company.
- Mr. Schmidt spoke on the advantage
of advertising and as an exampte
nsed - an advertisement of the Phez
company nsed in a local magazine re
cently. The eompany ran a tnree
line ad. wanting to hear from famil
ies who would like to manage farms
In this vicinity., Numerous answers
were received, and two were from the
Canal zone. "Salem must be adver
tised and the Commercial club is the
medium through which the campaign
should be conducted' said Mr.
Schmidt, which, would: be a benefit
to the city, county and .-state.
