After the supper was finished, n. b.
Spencer, secretary, of the organization,
after brief address, happily introduced
Burgess Hon. John Kuhbach, who ex-
pressed his pleasure at meeting with such
a gathering of our citizens, and con-
graduated the business men of the As
sociation upon their success. He claim
ed that the business man does more for
his country than anyone else, he being
practically "the man behind the gum"
Every other class needs his help and as
sistance and upon him the prosperity of
the country depends. The next speake
was State organizer, II. w. Rittcnhouse,
of Scranton. He recalled the fact that
wears ago he was called to llonesdale to
assist in the organization of II Business
Mems Association, and on arriving here
was greeted bv twelve discouraged in
dividuals who wanted to postpone the
business, but after Il talk with them he
persuaded them to go ahead with the
work. a number OF the associations in
the country which were organized in
this manner, now have large member
ships. In our large cities, some of the
organizations whose admission fee was
originally one dollar have increased the
charge to fifty dollars, and Il person to
get in must be of approved character.
An association can accomplish nothing
beneficial if all do not do their duty.
All members ideas cannot be alike, but
they should get together and think
alike. There never was man in busi-
ness yet, but could learn something,
especially from an organization of this
kind, and the men who help make a
good organization are the men who
work hand in hand. Members should
attend their regular meetings. In some
towns business mems meeting would
empty the show houses. Work for the
interests OF your organization. Every
body sees benefits in organizing-men
like Mitchell and railroad men and
The best organization
in the world is that of the Locomotive
Engineers, and the only recognition they
ever secured was through cooperation.
Then he urged the members to get to-
gether, attend their meetings, and send
delegates to the next state convention.
1t will repay the effort put forth. The
will come home with
new ideas, and work with renewed
vigor for your interests.
w. w. Wood, who was next intro
duced, made few pertinent remarks,
after which. the Rev. DR.. w. F. Hopp,
gave very pleasing address in which
he emphasized the advantages accruing
from men being united in every phase
of life's activities. He dwelt forcibly
upon the beauty of helping each other
in business, and advocated very earnest
ly the observance of Sunday as day
of rest from labor, claiming that it
could be protitably spent in looking af-
ter ones spiritual interests; and in this
extending an invitation to
all who were not engaged elsewhere to
attend his Sabbath services.
After few remarks by Toastmaster
Spencer, the parting Good night"
word was passed and all were soon
homeward bound.
