TO ADVERTISE STATE.
Boards of Trade Plan Publicity
Bureau For MARYLAND.

In order to maintain bureau Of adver-
Using for the State of Maryland officers of
the Associated Boards of Trade have in
view the raising of fund of $50, 600 a
year, for the next three years. The idea
of such bureau was advanced by Mr..
E. l.. Quarles, of the Greater Baltimore
Committee, in his address before the re-
cent convention of the Associated Boards
in this city, and endorsed by the men,
bers upon the passage of a resolution re-
ferring the matter to committee. Def
mite plans for the raising of the money
will be worked out when the legislative
and executive committees of the organiza-
ton meet at the Hotel Rennert, Tuesday,
December S.
One Of the heartiest supporters of the
movement to maintain bureau of adver-
Using for the State of Maryland is the
newly-elected president of the Associated
Boards of Trade, Mr.. James H. Gambrill,
Jr. When asked as to his ideas on the
subject he said that he believed it SPLEEN
did thing for the State of Maryland and
thought that the business men in every
section would help to carry out the Asso-
ciated Boards object. He spoke of the
efforts being made by the other States of
the Union, saying that Maryland to stay
In the race must advertise her advantages.
His plan to make an appeal to all the
business men of the State and after $25,-
600 is raised to ask for an appropriation
OF an equivalent amount from the State
Legislature. Mr.. Gambrill's idea would,
therefore, be to start out to raise $50, 600
year for the next few years and after
that time determine what steps to take.
1t IS then likely that the bureau would be
taken over by the State of Maryland and
maintained in this manner.
Atthe meeting of the committees, which
President Gambrill has called for Deem
Der ), the members will discuss the plans
and look into the feasibility of the project
Those who are in favor of the scheme
point to the success of the Greater Balti-
more Committee for whose work thous-
ands of dollars have been subscribed just
in Baltimore city. They feel that the adj
vertisin OF the State would mean great
deal to every part of Maryland, amply re-
paying the trouble and expense
Letters of notification are being sent
out by Captain ID John Markey, secretary
of the Associated Boards of Trade, to
those elected to office or appointed to
serve as committeeman. President Gam
brill plans to keep in touch with all the or
CARNATIONS of the State throughout the
year. One of his policies will be to en-
courage the formation and maintenance
of Boards of Trade in every town in
Maryland which does not possess such an
organization. Practically all the COM
mercial organizations of the State are
affiliated with the State organization but
some towns are not represented. The
Greater Baltimore Committee and the
Maryland Agricultural College joined the
Associated Boards during the convention.
To encourage better farming through
out the State will be one of the objects Of
the Associated Boards of Trade. The
different organizations in the State will be
asked to try to stimulate among the
farmers interest in furthering the work the
State Agricultural College is doing, that
is, to increase the products and get better
returns from the agricultural pursuits.
