Dear Sir-The question Of when and
where We are 10 hold tho next annual
meeting OF the National Brick Manufac-
turcrs' association Is now up for considea-
ton, and We (the executive commiitee)
have about decided on November II, IL,
and 10 M the best time, but arc undecided
rs TO the best place.
There Is growing feeling that Il Is best
20 go east or south, and l am in favor OF
the south. IL strikes us that Memphis Il n
desirable point, and II the brick.makers OF
your vicinity would like 10 have the con-
vention held there, Il can probably DO ar
ranged. We do not want nor expect any
elaborate entertainment from the local
brck-makers, but simply want 10 feel that
woarc welcome, and that proper hotel ac-
commodations, etc, can be secured by all
who attend the convention.
believe We can safely count on nearly
900 delegates, and we may have more, as
at that season Of the year brick-makers can
attend without negiecting their business
interests.
The convention would be quito an nd.
vantage 10 your city, inasmuch as Il would
bring TO II a large number Of bright, we'll
TO do business men from all over the
Union.
Please canvass the matter and let me
know how your ncighbors feel about the
