The National Association Of Manufacturers has
now been thoroughly organized in most OF the
States which lead In manufactures Al present ihe
organization has membership Of about 5000. and
special effort is being made TO increase 1t, II possible
to 10000 members
The principal aim Of the association is to secure
as soon as possible the creation OF another officer OF

would give much valuable informa ton to our home
manufacturers. and may give us clearer idea IS
TO the ever vexng and complicated question OF pro-

However. the National Association Of Manufac-
turers aims at other important matters such as
universal and uniform bankruptcy law reciprocity
treaties with foreign countries especially with the
Spansh-American republics. Our trade relations
with the South American countries should be most
intimate and merchant marine improved TO
establish direct communication with those countries.
In fact. anything that will encourage our export

idea OF our organization. and urge all manu-

The association Is positively Independent politics
