SILVERTON, Aug. 1. One
or two young women may have
the opportunity of a trip to the
world's fair, or to the orient, or
perhaps to Hawaii, at the expense-
of Silverton business men, If
plans started at a meeting of the
Silverton Ad club Monday mater
ialize. The meeting was called by
Parsy Rose, president of the club,
and Silverton business and pro
tests onal men were invited to at
tend. About 75 were present.
The idea grew out of the con
test now being carried on at Gres
ham, where the prize Is two trips
to the world's fair for two of the
65 contestants or "queens'" as
they were called. Coupons are giv
en on purchases. Making the trip
to Gresham to investigate the idea
were L. C. Eastman, Henry Aim,
H. Albright and Mr. Rose. Mr.
Eastman explained the plan at the
Monday night meeting, saying:
"It is a 'sell Silverton,' an en
deavor to get the surrounding
community to trade at home."
Idea Is Favored
Speaking favorably for tbe plan
other than those making the in
vestigation, were Merlin Conrad,
George Steelbammer, Otto Le-1
gard,, J. Jorden, R. B. Duncan,
Al Cootes and Earl Adams. .
A motion was made and carried
that the president act as chairman
and appoint four others to serve
with him on a committe to make
plans and that these plans then
be brought before the club again
at a meeting to be held in tbe near
future.
It was stressed at the meting
that the Silverton plans, should
one be carried out need not be
similar to that of Gresham. The
prize need not be the same and
other details may be arranged.
