Secretary Hynfan named the numerous articles manufactured in Montgomery, and de- clared that the amount was surprising. He said that If the people kept Mont gomery money in the city. that if the women traded with the merchants. and if the men would buy their clothes here instead of sending orders to New York and Chicago. the people would see prosperity.
 w. B. Paterson told of the increase in his bysiness and how 1t had grown up here in Montgomery. and how 1t was shipping flowers every day to the other larger cities in the South. He said that he was preparing this year to plant roses and grow them instead of importing the small plants from the Northern greenhouses as formerly.
