The Glenwood post., 1908-08-22
Many Important Matters Disposed o.
at Exceptionally Well Attended and
Enthusiastic Meeting
COAL RATES MUST Be LOWERED

Chairman Dickson of the committee
appointed to look into this matter
| said the committee was not ready to
report and further time was given in
which to take the matter up with Mr..
Lewis and make other investigations
preliminary to making recommendations
to the Board of Trade
AS to Advertising.
The secretary presenting the report
of the advertising committee said that
the committee had decided to dispense
with the services Of. H.. w. Richards
who has had charge of the office in
Denver because his work was unsatis-
factory and that as it was not desired
to give up the Office proposition had
subsequently been made to the Ames
Bros. Co. which will probably be en-
gagged to take charge of the Glenwood
Springs advertising work in Denver.
The secretary stated that such an ar
rangement would put this town in rne
tourist travel service of the company
| which extends to all parts of the conn-
try. He also reported such n demand
for folder isued by the Board of Trade
that it was deemed advisable to cnt
| down the free distribution. By this
| means more revenue can be derived
from their sale and a sufficient sum re-
turned to the Board of Trade to pay
| for the cost of further advertising
publications. On motion the report
and action of the committee were ap-
proved.
A report which aroused general sat
isfaction was that of the committee
men recently concerning the past diff
| culties between the two towns. The
committee reported that everybody
wanted to bury the hatchet and it was
the consensus of opinion that no effort
should. be spared in reciprocation of
the friendly spirit reflected by the
Aspen people which, according to c. NJ.
Keck of the Midland has already mani
tested itself in increased Sunday bust
ness from the mining camp.
The Tri-County Fair.
Probably the most important bust
ness of the meeting, the question of
holding the Tri-county fair in Glen
wood, at this point engaged attention
for some time. The committee which
was appointed several days ago to con-
sider the sentiment of business men re-
garding the proposal following re-
wood hold the fair, reported through
Chairman Thorson that owing to the
division of sentiment they had been un-
able to reach a decision. Mr.. Thorson
stated that there was above all gen
eral feeling that nothing should be
done which seemed to be in opposition
to the plans of Aspen for fair, but
that on the other hand the farmers of
this section who had planned to hold
the fair at Rifle but had given it up
were very .;ious to have it held here
as many of them did not want to 60
to Aspen with their exhibits. Presiden
Alex Job of the Farmers club sait
the farmers are very anxious to have
the fair held here and after consider
able discussion of the matter the com
mittee, on motion of w. 8. Parkison
was continued with power to arrange
/ g., fo.r IN Infnmnnf
ought to be held here. The committee
was so instructed by the chair with th'
understanding that if the fair is de
cided upon the individual business mel
will have to guarantee the payment o
| expenses. ~.
