Winchester. The City.

The president then introduced Mr.
B. r. Jouett, who spoke on Winches-
ter, the City. Mr.. Jouett said in part !:

Unity of Purpose.

President Bowen then introduced
Mr.. J. Harry Allan who spoke on
'Unity of Purpose" Mr.. Allen said
in part:
1--WE should all unite in boosting
our own development. The presi-
dent of one of the largest brick
concerns in the Middle States said
to me recently that the trouble with
Kentuckians were that they were too
independent, that there was no unity
of purpose, that often times in their
independence, they forget their loyal
ty to their own people.
No business organization can ex-
ist today unless people work in har-
mOny. How many organizations have
failed in Winchester in the past ten
years because of lack of unity of pur-
pose. You all can remember some.
We should cultivate unity. We find
/ it hard to allow one man to dominate
meeting or a business even if it is
for the common good.
We should all strive together to
build up the commercial life of Win
chester. There has been far more
unity than ever before in the last
four or five years and we should still
further cultivate it. There are plenty
of resources. Let us build on solid
ground.
Mr.. Allan remarks were received
with much applause and seemed to
strike the right key.

We have voted an issue of bonds
for sewers and we will have them

MIR. Ed. Smith Explains.


Mr.. Ed. Smith tried to make ex-
PLANTATION about the refreshments but
got so tangled up that he brough!
down the house.
Mr.. John E. Garner was called on
for a speech and made one of his
characteristic, one greatly to the de-
light Of his audience.
The Presidents Address.
The president, Mr.. C. H. Bowen's
inaugural address, is as follows:
Gentlemen and members of the Com
mercial Club:
In this day every man must do his
part. Everyone must learn sooner
or later that IT is best to be connect
ed only with those things that are
worth while. To be a member of this
Commercial Club is worth while and
to be It's president is an honor. |
