,he club rooms tonight at s o'clock To
this meeting are invited not only the
members of the club--who are expect
eG 10 attend--but every man in Albu-
ouerque who is Interested in the city 5
prosperity
The object of the meeting is thor
oughly understood. For some time
past the clubs finances have been in
an unsatisfactory condition. This cul-
minated recently in the passing of the
club building from the hands of the
Commercial club building association
into the hands of the holders of the
second mortgage on the property
The present owners of the building
moved by public spirit have Offered
to turn the property over to the club
upon the payment of the face of the
second mortgage. $4,000, and the as
sumption Of the first mortgage by the
club. The first mortgage is for $25.-
600 The club therefore, has an op-
pOrtunty to acquire for $40, 600, a pro
perty which at the most conservative
estimate, is worth $90 00o, and is pro-
badly worth more than 100000 And
this with the full understanding that
the first mortgage may be continued
at the pleasure of the club.
Here is a business proposition which
Albuquerque cannot afford to over
look Opposed to it is the possibility
Of the disintcgration of an organization
which has been the strongest influence
in making this the first city in New
Mexico
That the citizens of Albuquerque will
take any other course than to place
this property in the hands of the club
and put the club strongly ON its feet
again. 1t is impossible to conceive,
The finance committee appointed by |
the club al its meeting of week ago
has formulated a thoroughly practi- |
cable, bnsinesslike plan to reach the |
desired result It is ilan that ~
appeal to every business man.
See that YOU are on hand tonight
when this plan is presented. Then
get in behind and push it through.
Here is an opportunity to get results
for Albuquerquc-and results for AL
Du4uorque mean results for every man
interested in Albuquerque. Make to-
nights meeting the biggest the most
enthusiastic, the most successful the
Commercial club has ever held
The plan to take over the property
Is going to win. Every business man
to whom it has been presented has
given il enthusiastic approval Ban
kcrs, merchants. real estate dealers
property owners-everyone has agreed
that the offer of the owners of the
building is generous; that Albuquer t
que has the power to do the business
ana that it will be done at once. There
Is a general feeling of confidence that
Lhe meeting tonight Will complete the
work. 1t is now but question of the j
