COMMERCIAL CLUB
DIRECTORS MEET
Most Enthusiastic And Best Attended
Meeting Ever Held BY This
Organization.

One of the best attended meetings
ever held by the Hattiesburg CONNER
cial Club directors. was that of last
night IN the Auditorium lobby, when
the work for the ensuing year was
mapped out and plans considered for
making this the greatest year that
Hattiesburg has ever known in Com
mercial Organization work. BY the
merging of the Commercial Club, Re-
tail Association and Rebate Associa-
ton into one organization 1t win be
possible to not only do more work for
the development of Hattiesburg and
South Mississippi. but it will also be
possible to give many of the individual
members more personal benefits, as
it is proposed not only to have Sec
retary, but well qualified assistant
and an office accessible at all times
during the business hours of the day.
and the Freight Bureau will be made
| a strong force in this work so that
members in the mercantile business
can have all their claims handled sys-
tematically and in such order that it
will not only mean the settling of
many claims promptly but without
| friction The necessity of a perma-
nent office is made plain by the work
of the Club last year The files of the
correspondence of the Club show al
most double as much for last year as
for the preceding three years Of the
existence of the Club and under the
proposed consolidation it will easily
amount to three times as much as 1t
did last year.
The first business taken up was the
routine work of the club which per-
tains to correspondence. One of the
letters read was from the Osyka Bust
ness Mems League asking Hattiesburg
to send representative to New Or

There were nearly a hundred guests
