ORGANIZATION IN
PERMANENT HOME
Consolidated Bodies to Continue
Spreading knowledge of
States Resources

Three promotion bodies of san Fran
cisco were consolidated Monday. Into
the quarters selected for the joint oc-
cupstion the three. under the collective
name and corporate existence Of the
California development board. the Cali
fornia Promotion committee and the
Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation OF California moved their books,
furniture and other assets. and there,
with the old organization of the Cali
tornla state board of trade. made
physical preparations for promoting
knowledge OF and interest in California
in all parts of the world. The signifi-
canoe of that move might he over
looked by those whose interests are
more local than otherwise. but the eyes
Of the entire interior. in fact of. all Of
California's IS counties are turned on
the new organization.
What the incoming bodies found in
tie old headquarters Of the state board
Of trade in the ferry building consisted
most conspicuously of one Of the great
est permanent exhibits of the fields,
orchards ana vineyards of California
that has ever been collected and main
tained for series OF years in any
California city. This occupies nearly
half Of the top floor Of the ferry build
ing and il is appropriately adjoined,
on the other end OF the building, by
what is credibly said 10 be the great
est collection Of mineral specimens ever
held in the possession of any state in
The union for exhibition purposes.
PURSUED SAME METHODS
For some years the state board of
trade and the promotion committee
have been pursuing practically the
same lines Of exploitation. although
their methods have differed in some
respects The state board Of trade has
been supported very largely by city
subscriptions and also by funds appro-
priated by California counties in the
interior and by sufficient contributions
Of fruits. vineyard products. cereals,
vegetables. wool, honey. and so forth.
10 present TO spectators a fair general
idea Of the possibilities Of California.
This exhibit remains intact.
The California Promotion committee
was also supported largely by the mer-
chants and other moneyed men of San
Fra ncisco, who paid stated monthly
sums TO keep the work going The
Nsnufs cturers and Producers associa-
tion dealt more exclusively with pro
ductive Industries whose activity was
chiefly manifested in factories, can
neries. and the like. The combination
Of the three sorts of supporters in an
institution whose sole purpose is 10
of life in California is considered
everywhere 10 he extremely fortunate.
In a general way the lines Of pro-
Cedure set down by the state board of
trade viii be followed by the new
organiza tion. as By vote the constitu-
tion and bylaws Of the trade board
have been formally adopted.
