If the plans of a number of the pro-
chants association carry, Brunswick
will soon have a powerful CONNER
Gal organization in the way of an
associate branch Of the retailers as
sociation. At the next regular meet
ing early in November the plans will
be laid before the body and their
adoption now appears certain so that
by New Years Brunswick will have
the strongest team of boosters OF any
city in the south.
President Bruce who has given
much time to studying out a plan fer
extending the work of the Retail Mer-
chants association is one of the new
ly-elected officers who favors the as
sociate emtership feature, thus con-
centrating the efforts of all public
spirited citizens when any public mat
ter comes up.
'Brunswick's business men who
have made the Retail Merchants as
sociation what it is today have for
some time realized that the scope OF
the work of our association has been
limited said President Bruce yester-
day to a News man. "In the first
place there are only thirty to forty
retailers and wholesalers eligible to
active membership in our association
The credit-repcrting system we have
built uD has proven a strong feature
and this has held our members to-
gether through al 1.-The changes in
conditions
Many Public Calls.
During the three years we have
been at work as an association the
merchants have frequently been called
upon for public service. For instance
in the trolley line campaign, in the
protest against the A, B. & A. cutting
down its train service, and in Other
matters of a like character, it ha.
jteen the Merchants Association, which
has taken the lead and in practically
every instance has won out.
"These public calls have increased
during the past year and at the same
time We have had numerous offers
of help in our campaign from those
who under our bylaws could not bt

come members of our association. We
nave naturally been handicapped in
using the services of outsiders in our
several campaigns since we had nc
way of recognizing properly such as
sistance.
An Associate Branch.
Several of our most active MEM
bers have agreed upon plan which
will be submitted to the next meet
ing. This plan is to recognize all
real public-spirited citizens by cleo
ton as associate members. Nominal
dues of say $40 per year would be
paid by these associate members
And what is most important is that
every dollar from such membership
would so to a fund for extending pub
licity, landing conventions, bringing
in new industries and securing new
citizens.
"All who have discussed the details
are a unit in restricting membership
in the proposed associate branch tc
those citizens who have shown rea
public spirit or who can be souched
fer by active members as being live
wires ready and anxious to boost
Brunswick.
Eyes, it will be a genuine Boosters
Club, in fact though not in name.
These associate members will have
voice in all association affairs except
lin the credit department, which is of
no interest save to the retail dealers
of the city.
"Our hope is to put Brunswick OF
