Commerce is an odd man in one re-
5pect He is full of natural enthus-
Iasm, but his manner is usually moi
hat of an enthusiast.
Yesterday afternoon, however, a re
porter found him radiant. Asked
What's good?" he replied: Every
thing. Just had a dandy meeting OF
the directors. Chock full of the get
up and-do-it spirit. It's a stron-
board, and works well, but today :
meeting somehow just makes me fee
that nothing under the sun can hold
Pensacola back. BY George, this
whole city is waking up, good and
wide awake"
1t seems that, while there was lit
tie to give out, the directory meet
ing had I'D more than one very i'm
poTtant subject, and good results are
expected in the very near future
some of which may be in the nature
OF pleasant surprises to the people
generally.
The regular membership meeting
is to be held this afternoon at four
o'clock, and the following notice was
mailed out last night:
Meeting Today.
Wednesday, July %, 1909.
Members, Chamber of Commerce:
Please be one to make the July
meeting o. the membership, at
o'clock this afternoon, the kind that
puts vim into the directors and sec
rotary by showing that the member
skip is live and interested.
You might give the meeting one
idea alone which would be worth
more than your dues for A whole year
Pensacola needs the enthusiasm OF
her citizens. Help the membership
of the Chamber to be leaders in that
enthusiasm.
