AUGUST BULLETIN
OF BOARD OF TRADE
Brief Resume of Important Events of
the Past Month Hereabouts.

The August bulletin of the board of
trade has been in the malls for a
day or two and is now released for
home publication. A feature of il
that other Arizona towns are asked
to notice is the incorporation of
number of general items of special
interest to other towns than Phoenix.
1t is the purpose of Secretary WEIGH
to make that feature even more pro-
nounced in future issues, as the ma
terial is furnished to him or as he
comes in contact with it. The main
purpose of the bulletin is to advertise
MaricOpa county, but it is fully APP
preciated that anything that helps
any part of Arizona indirectly helps
Phoenix, and if a word can be said
here and there that pushes along the
mining. numbering, grazing or any
other industry of the outside counties,
so much the better. The board wants
to be as generous as possible, partly
because it has a generous feeling. but
more because it is good business.
