| This Is the result of the two hour
| campaign in the business portion of
| the city waged by % hustlers of the
! Commercial club who were divided
| into 10 teams this morning. A num-
Der of campaigners continued this
afternoon to work in a quiet way for
new members.
The list of the business men this
morning who were not members but
were eligible, was only partially
| covered by the workers and it is
likely that some time next week an
other rapid fire campaign will be
carried out.

ing things during the past few months
and the prominent business men are
beginning to realize that they can not
afford to turn down a proffer for
membership. The percentage of flat
turn downs" was small this morning,
and this as a fair sample of many re-
marks which were made by those who
the live organization:
ST am glad you came; we are for
you"
