Palestine Board of Trade,
Mr. c. A. Sterne,
Secretary
Dear Sir:-On behalf of the Pales-
tine Trades and Labor Council 1 wish
to extend to the Board of Trade our
sincere thanks and appreciation for
the hearty cooperation given us in
making the recent Labor Day celebra-
ton a success.
The use of the Board parlors for our
meetings, and the way in which hun
dreds of visitors were entertained on
Labor Day at the Board of Trade and
provided with large tubs of ice water,
is something alone to be commended
by the laboring men of Palestine.
Wishing the Board continued sue
cess in its efforts to build up Pales-
tine, remain,
Yours very truly,
A NJ. Cohen,
Chairman Press Committee, Labor
Day Celebration.
On Labor Day there were entertain
ed at the Board of Trade rooms over
five hundred people. mostly women
and children from the country and
adjoining towns and counties, who had
no other place to go, as all stores
were closed. There was for them
plenty of ice water, couches and
chairs on which to rest, a private rest
room, etc Many were the words of
thanks and satisfaction over the fact
that such a place was in reserve for
them.
At present the Board, through its
entertainment committee, is planning /
to give the East Texas press boys
glad welcome when they meet here on !
Sept. "a and rs. The Board will see
to it that these visitors are well cared :
for, and that they will leave Palestine /
with most pleasant memory of the
town and its people.
There is always something to be
done that is nobody's special business
and that the Board of Trade can, and
does, do; and it does it well, too.
