said to the Stroller today
'Waxahachie needs and must have
a real live commercial club Not an
organization that comes into exist
ence one day and dies the next, but
an organization that will accomplish
things a commercial club should be
organized along business lines, club
rooms provided and a salaried secre-
tary employed whose duty il should
be TO keep in constant communication
with various enterprises which are
seeking a location With a good com
mercial club the matter of arrang-
ing with a cotton buyer for the re-
tail merchants of the city could be
given some consideration. 1t is clear
to my mind that something along
this line should be done before the
opening of another cotton season. :"
