tion-Preparing Letter.

A committee of three members of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce is
planning to call on local business men

of establishing wholesale jobbing depart

was made that iobbing houses in certain
lines of goods should be established here.
r. P. May. chairman of the wholesale
trade committee. said several branches
of business in the District have no whole
sale departments. This fact causes buy
ers from nearby territory to pass Wash
ington by and go to other cities to do
their purchasing.
LAS a rule" he added, they go to
cities where they can find everything they
need. At this time there is no whole
sale shoe house in Washington, although
some manufacturers of shoes have rep
resentatives here; the clothing hats, dress
goods and millinery businesses have no
wholesale houses here. with one possible
exception. and that in small way.
For Wholesale Tradesmen.
The decision also reached by the
committee to have the subcommittee OF
three prepare. with the assistance of the
secretary of the chamber. a letter to be
sent out in the name of the chamber.
if ii meets with the approval of the
board of directors at their meeting next
week. stating the advantages offered by
Washington to the wholesale tradesman
in the special lines not now represented
here in a wholesale way The board of
directors will also be asked to appropriate
for the use of the wholesale trade COM
mittee certain sum, to be used by the
committee. if found necessary, in adver-
Using in trade papers for the purpose OF
inducing wholesalers to locate here.
A communication will be sent to the
Kansas City Board of Trade, which is
said to have had marked success in at
tracing trade to that city. asking for in
formation as to the methods pursued by
