and valuable in this work. We
have adoped a Board OF Trade
envelope that Is good in this
direction, and plans are on
foot for futher advertising IN
an inexpensive, but. We trust,
Effective way. We can not
speak too much IN praise OF the
efficient work done for the
town by the Big Stone Gap
Post, and we heartily commend
20 all our members 60 second
the efforts of this paper.
The Board of Directors have
a special department, the sub
ject of summer bOarders. but
the season was so far advanced
that it was not practical this
year 60 DO much systematic
advertising in tina: direction.
1t Is hoped we can begin here
after and accomplish good re-
suits. There is no doubt but
that Big Stone Gap could be
made the most attractive place
for summer boarders. and that
large revenue could be secured
by hotel and boarding house
keepers and merchants and
others from this source. and
this Is one Of the best lines of
efforts in the future for this
body, IN our opinion. The
town Is especially fortunate in
having two splendid hotels, and
IL may be feasible either 20
build a large airy hotel of the
regular summer type or that a
number of our private homes
may be thrown open 20 board
ers hereafter.
Through this committee and
other committees Of the Board
efforts have been made Co pro-
cure new Industries. This is in
the nature of things hard and
slow work. While nothing
tangible of any value has been
accomplished, yet seeds have
been sOwn that may result in
much good, and we believe az
soon as there is "a business re.
vival that there will be much
added 20 the town in this direc
zion.
