THURSDAY. SEPTUM BER 7. 1910 Some business institutions can suc­ ceed without advertising—but what’s the use taking the chances. There is a call by a committee for a meeting“to be held at the Cloverdale Hotel this evening for the purpose of organizing a Business Men’ s Club. Such an organization, it perfected, can result in much good. It can help wonderfully in brining the community before the eyes of prospective locators, it can help io improve the conditions of the town, and it can help the businesses that are already located here. It can do more, it can do away with a good share of the knocking that occurs be­ cause someone imagines that they have cause to be peeved. We sincerely hope that everyone who received an in­ vitation will make it his business to he present and come with a spirit of liber­ ality, Let’s make this club a winner by putting our shoulders to the wheel in a way that will make the new club a suc­ cessful one.
