MOODY TALKS TO TRAVELLERS
Head Of the Chicago Association Of
Commerce is Coming.
SUCCESS OF BANQUET ASSURED
McCOrd-BrRdy Company Has Reserved
Space for Its Entire List OF
Travelling Men at the
Auditorium Feast.

Names of 600 commercial travellers had
been turned into the Commercial club by
noon Friday, and in practically every case
reservation was made for place at the
great dinner at the Auditorium the evening
Of December 30.
Even II no more should be heard from
the meeting will be a great success and II
is certain many more will be heard from
In addition to this the committee in
charge announces that invitations have just
been sent out TO all city statesmen and de-
partment heads of wholesale houses, like
wise sales managers, so that all who repre-
sent Omaha houses in any capacity will be
eligible, although it will not depart from
the atmosphere or personnel of a travelling
mans affair.
The committee on speakers announces
that IT considers itself highly fortunate in
having secured the presence of Walter e.
Moody Of Chicago. general manager OF the
Chicago Association OF Commerce. Mr..
Moody" says the committee '1s a national
figure in work OF this kind and is known
to practically all Of the Omaha business
men, having come from Chicago TO meet
the party of Chicago business men on their
return from the Pacific coast In 1909. He
then spoke at the Field club. Having
served an apprenticeship as travelling sales
man later followed by years in charge Of a
large number of road men, he is fully COM
petent TO speak TO the travelling men Of
Omaha from the fullness OF his experience.
When the Chicago Association OF Com
merce needed a man TO look after the pro-
motion work OF that organization II picked
out Mr.. Moody as the one most competent
and fitted for that work He has personal
charge OF all the large undertakings or
what IL recognized as the biggest com
meroial organization in the world and
when he makes his appearance in Omaha
the evening OF December 80 he will not
disappOnt any one IN his audience. He is
forcefull, and with his strong personality
but the Omaha business men themselves
with inspiration enough TO last them during
the ensuing year.
The McCord- Brady company mas sent
the Commercial club a written request
that space and accommodations be re-
served FOR its entire travelling force This
is said 10 number somewhere about seven
ty-five or eighty men.
W. H. McCord has written personally TO
every one OF his commercial Representatives
asking them to be on hand. Ordinarily the
company does not bring them I'm until the
middle OF January.
Sueh an example says the committee.
Is likely to be followed by the other large
houses and proves beyond all doubt that
