who had interested themselves in
advertising st. Johnsbury Academy.
Mr.. Fairbanks described the din
ner the executive committee of the
club recently had at the Cottage as
guests of Principal Benedict and the
Inspection of the school property
which followed. AS a result of this
visit a special committee had pre-
pared a circular advertising the
school and which could be furnished
to any firm or individual who would
enclose one in their mail He said
the George H. Cross firm had been
doing this for some time with cir
cular and that the example of this
firm could profitably be followed by
Others. In closing he said the Acad-
envy was one of the best assets the
town had and the Academy's best
asset was DR.. Benedict.
Rev. FIR. Leonard was the last
speaker and said he was deeply in
terested in any movement that
helped the social upnft of the COM
munity and he believed this club
was working along those lines. He
said in closing that he hoped the
Commercial Club would grow until
it had 500 members.

tains the following inducements to
