TRAVELLING men
MEET TONIGHT
Plan on Foot to Organize
Club Of Those Working
Out Of City

meeting is called for 1880 o'clock
this evening at the Commercial club
rooms for the commercial travellers
who either make this their home or
headquarters, while they are engaged
In making the surrounding territory.
There are more than 80 men constant
ly on the road in the various lines of
business who either travel for Lewis
ton firms or make this place the head
quarters for firms operating in this
territory.
An organization has been agitated
for some weeks and the meeting called
to perfect it will be held tonight. The
fact that so many men are represented
In this business emphasizes the point
that Lewiston is rapidly growing as a
jobbing and wholesale center.
The organization, it is hoped, will
add to the effectiveness Of the booster
movement that is now being launcned
as 1t makes another factor of elemental
strength.
