BRIGHT ARE
PROSPECTS
For Commercial Club In Clover
port Citizens All Optimistic
For Its Organization.
MASS MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT

prospects are bright Tor Commerce
ial Club In Cloverport. A number of
representative citizens have been inter-
Viewed and all of them express optim-
istic views upon the subject. Every Cne
realizes the crying need of an organizs
ton like this IN our town and Glover
port will have one. Parties seeking
locations here for industries now have
no one to approach on the subject
and as the old saying goes what
is everybody's business is nobody's
business " The town needs a
club that will ever be oa the alert
to secure new enterpr ses for the town
and give the promoters encouragement
and inducements. Just last week a
man was here looking around for a
site for button factory He proposed
to put in operation a plant which
would employ hundl ed hands but he
could hnl no one that would assume
the responsibility of making him any
kind of inducements. So, the man lett
town and this industry may be lost.
However, DIR. A. A. Simons and j. A.
Barry are working on the case and may
succeed In inducing the party to estab-
lish his plant here 1t will be remem-
bered that the Henderson Route shops
were brought here from Henderson as
the direct results of the efforts of a
Commercial Club which was then or
Several years ago a club of this kind
was organized, advertising literature
was prepared and the club tor a while
hourished but fell through after
short life. What Cloverport needs and
what We will have now Is a real Com
mercial Club tnat will have the well
fare CT our town at heart and an or
ganlzation that Will not die with its
birth. A band of twenty-five men
welded together for the betterment of
this town will work wondAres in five
years time. This is no false prophecy.
AS much has been done and is being
done In other Kentucky towns whose
natural advantages and resources do
not compare with those of Cloverport.
The News prints below the opinion
held on the organization of CONNER
cial CLUB by several of the towr' g bust
ness men and citizens. The individual
views Of many OF those interested in
the club could not be published bnt
every man approached, with one ex-
ceptlon, was heartily in favor of such
an organization as the News propos.

ness interests of the city.
V. G. Babbage
Diets to the front By all means
organize Commercial Club. The way
to build up the town, is for the city
to encourage outsiders to locate their
enterprises in CloveIport. The Com
mercial Club ever on the alert will
be on tie lookout for good roads and
everything else in sight for the citys
welfare.
