Work Of Secretary.
The records of the office show that
more than 5000 pieces OF first class
mail matter were mailed during the
past nine months. In this same time
the Chamber Of Commerce has been in
correspondence with more than 1000
manufacturing concerns located in 80
different states and in several foreign
countries. Active correspondence was
had with nearly 100 manufacturers
with a view Of locating here but in the
great majority of cases the securing of
these enterprises involved the inter-
esting Of local capital, a thing which
your board found especially difficult
during the past year. AS a result some
Of the apparently desirable proposi-
tions have to be passed by. 1t has been
the policy Of your board to discourage
the bonus-giving habit believing that
in most instances this habit places too
heavy burden upon the builders OF
this great new state The thought has
been and is that Oklahoma with a pop
ulation of ,667, 900 people should and
0oes furnish abundant opportunities
for legitimate manufacturing enter
prises Of all kinds without having tC
give away money to secure these man
ufacturing concerns. SO long as thi:
habit does exist it win be met in a bus
inesslike way by the men OF Chicka
sha.

Remarkable Lot Sale.

Perhaps the most noticeable thing
attempted during the year was the sale
Of lots in the Cotton mill addition to
secure funds to locate the Southwest
ern Fountain company and also to
start the new knitting mill. This re-
markable bit Of work was undertaken
in August the dullest and hottest
month Of the year, and vet within less
than one months time $4,000 worth
Of lots We're sold to the citizens Of
Chickasha and 20 per cent Of this paid
in cash. It was no fault Of the Chick
asha people that this effort failed Of
fruition. The Oklahoma City concern
was unable to guarantee the removal
to Chickasha on a proper business ba-
sis and the deal had TO be called of
and the money returned to the sub
scribers, much to the disappointment
Of our people. This event, however,
forcibly illustrates the solid resource
fulness of the citizenship Of Chlcka-
sha, showing that even 10 present
financial conditions the business men
here stand ready to encourage with
their means legitimate manufacturing
enterprises.
