Secretary weever of .ths Commercial Club was greeted. upon openinE his of- Ice yesterday morning. by three iet- ters asking for information concerning Montgomery as factory site. and what capital for a new enterprise could be secured locally. In resp0hee he win start movement for secu1ing local capital to meet such proposilons with.
 In speaking of the ouestion yester-
 "A glance at the, records of the club show that although there have been many such inquiries there have. been very few new enterprises landed by Montgomery. But the fact that other people, in all parts of the country. think Montgomery a good site for new manufacturinE enterprises.. should con- vince us of the fact. that is. If there are any who doubt 1t.
 "As see ft. to make others have confidence In the city and its possibil- ities, we must show that confidence ourselves. Invariably the letters ask ing for information about the avail sums that could be very easily raised by being distributed among the local business men in stock or shares.
 "A fund for this purpose. possibly, handled by special committee of the club. would do lot to land some lpt these concerns. the money could be se- cured preventing loss. 1t is not befng sent out of the city and 1t is an invest ment in our own town.
 Are Sent as sounders.
 Another thing about the matter half of these inquiries are made just to sound tine local people. to see how much confidence they have in them- selves and their town. Half of the promoters of these new enterprises have no idea of selling the stock, or allowing the buying of shares. they just want to see how we feel disposed to help in the city's commercial growth - aSss szssss s st4
 "One of the propositions received was for the establfshment of tobacco fac- tory and came from well known Tampa house. Another was from an Eastern concern that wants to nut up 6 cutlery factory. principally confining its work to the manufacture of shears. The third is confidential and will be discussed further at later date.
 "Just stop to think of the variety of enterprises that have been suggested for Montgomery a spool factory. that wheelbarrow concern, a pottery a new cotton oil plant. and, a hundred oths rs have been proposed. We want to land some of these concerns. they mean employment for local people. addition aI tax payers, lower prices on goods that heretofore have been shipped in. q larger census report. and everything else that goes to denote a growing city.
 up with the club members just as soos, aslfcan get in harness. and can work out a plan to suggest to the. officialn and other members. think that Ihe work of the club should be more local than 1t has been; it's a MontEonie v institution and Its best and every cf- fort should be for the city,
