Chamber of Commerce, This Evening.

detail in the Register, the business men

great many of our jObbers and manu-

which has proven very satisfactory IN
several large cities: Extend an invita-
ton to all the merchants with whom
our Wheeling houses do business 10
visit our city, and in this way renew
old acquaintance and friendships, and
form new ones; become personally ac-
quainted with the individuals with
whom we are doing business, and give
them good time generally. As an in
ducement to these gentlemen to visit
us. we would have Merchants Day in
Wheeling, paying the railroad fare and
entire expenses Of each one while
among us.
"In order to devise ways and means
of carrying out this or some other plan
that would bring the same result, we
respectfully ask you to be present at a
general meeting of all the jobbers OF
our city to be held in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms next Thursday even
ing. July 10Th, at p, m. Be sure TO be
present. Respectfully yours,
FRANK MCCOY,
