the meeting that he and his associates
would put up $4,000 ifEthe business men
would put up $4,000.
His plan is TO create and publish a
literary illustrated magazine. the peer Of
any In the land. and In doing SO at VII
linmsburg to secure the historic prestige
of that city and the forward movement
of the jamestown Exposition. Mr.. Buchel-
lor, who is easily familiar with such pub
LEGATIONS outlined comprehensive plan
and talked business right from the jump,
He offered to put up $4,000 at once II
the williamsburg people would put up
$500, and continue to put up IS for
every one subscribed In Williamsburg
until the maximum of S30O000 was IN
operation.
Mr., Bachelor secured an option on the
williamsburg Gazette, and In case the
scheme pans out Will take over that
paper.
The members of the Business Men's
Association recognized the advantage Of
such an enterprise on such liberal basis,
but there Is strong doubt IL Williamsburg
can raise the large sum required. though
the prize is a yet larger and tempting
