To the Members of the Chamber Of Commerre.
For the period of one mouth you have
had Il standing card in the leading VaF.-s
of this state calling Il convention Of rep
resentatiye merchants and manutle-
turers of this and other states 10 asse M
bic here on next Wednesday. Resporsas
received show that the gathering Will ue
large and composed of thoroughly repre-
sentative men. Not n thing has been
done to prepare for the guests invited ty
yourselves. The reputation Of oar city
and of our organization demands that
immediate measures be taken looking o.
their entertainment and the manage
ment of the convention. Therefore
every member of the chamber OF CON-
merce Is requested to attend meeting
of that body in Ihe chamber of commerce

sharp for that purpose.

GREAT ATTRACTION.
OF the $40 900 guarantee required TO
secure the exhibition ut Fort Worth OF
the last days of PompeH $4,000 has been
secured. This exhibit, if the amount
necessary is raised will be here for five
weeks, fifteen performances being
given, three every week. The
guarantee asked is not doua-
ton. Our business men are nsked
to take 100 boxes at 500 each. Each
box ticket has $50 coupons attached
good for that many admissions. A
merchant who takes n box can sell
these tickets to customers and tHr.7
wives inviting them TO visit the
city and attend the performance. This
would be Il graceful act of courtesy
generally practiced by commercial cities
and would certainly not hurt the mer-
chants or the city The rest OF the
guarantee should be promptly raised.
Real estate sales have increased in
number during the week, and agents re-
port many inquiries with good demadl
for property. The bank clearings show
an increase for the week of G5.7 per cent.
indicating a considerable increase in
business over the same week last year.
AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
If Fort Worth is to become the great
city 1t should. our people should patron
ize home institutions US far as possible.
If the money made here is sent away to
build up other cities, Fort WOrih's
growth Will be retarded. At Il low esti-
mate, 1000 suits of clothes worth from
SIS, coo to $40 200 are annually made 10
other cities for men who live and make
their money in Fort Worth. Were these
clothes made here it would give employ
ment the yeer round to tailors in this
city who live here and spend all they
make with Fort Worth merchants and
real estate men. These men would buy
lots and build houses. Besides, tbs
$40 900 kept at home and put in circula-
ton would help every home institution.
What is true about clothing applies 90
other lines. The tin bucket brigade will
not grow unless home institutions are
supported.
