The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1911-04-07
AFTERMATH

we made no attempt TO quote from all
the speeches made. 1t was a glorious
affair and we regret now that we did
not publish a more extended account,
especially since il was popular move
ment and young men were asked to say
something who had probably never
| tried TO make talk before. 1t was an
effort to break into the harness of pub
lie enterprise young men and new life
generally with the most unexpected
success. This policy was pursued to
such an extent that many Of the older
heads accustomed to making addresses
were not called upon at all in order that
others might have an opportunity to
speak. There were several addresses
that we overlooked altogether. One OF
these was by Buford Hurt, who arose
just before the discussion was closed and
stated that he felt Hurt" on account
Of the fact that his name had not been
called. Mr.. Hurt is known to be quite
an ingenious advertiser, and the remark
was recognized with a smile. Mr..
Hurt was very enthusiastic over the
prospects and very generous in his prop
osition to be booster.
Mr.. Sam Woosley made the sugges-
'tion that we needed to invite and at
tract more capital, we needed new
money, and that is leading Office OF
the Business Mems Club. There would
be little use for a business men s
league unless we could by its instru-
mentality induce men of means and
good citizens to locate with us - to in
yite foreign capital - and enlarge our
capacity in developing the resources
and industries of this country.
Attorney Morris Miles was there and
asked to say something for the lawyers,
stating that he was ready to defend the
club if trouble appeared to interfere
with its operations, but he was more
interested in speaking of an industry
that promised to be one Of the greatest
enterprises Union City ever had - the
DecoyDuck Company ralncoat factory
an industry just beginning to reach out
TO the business world with new pro-
duct entirely and one that gave every
evidence of unlimited development and
untold advantages as feeder to our
business and industrial progress. Mr..
Miles invited the club to visit and in
spect this new enterprise and to include
it in boosting the advantages OF Union
City and 0bion County. Reference
has heretofore been made Of the rain
coat factory and its products. The
OF new article in rain
coats altogether is the product of this
which is absolutely without
rival competitor and hence with no
limit to its possibilities. The factory,
through Mr., Curlin's ingenuity, is de-
several other new articlee
which may revolutionize the special
mes of manufacture to which they be-
ong. All Of these things will be dis
;ussed in more extensive way in
hese columns hereafter.
Rev. Stuart, always fluent and ready
peaker, responded to call and his adj
lress was accorded the warmest recep-
ion. We don't remember his sugges-
ions, but the theme was in harmony
With the occasion. There was quota
ion, however, made by Rev. Stuart,
hat fit the occasion very nicely. This
vas from literary work and included
evenly cantos, but for the benefit Of
he company he would repeat one canto
My as follows:
Go on, go on, 60 on, go on,
Go on, 60 on, go on;
Go on, go on, 60 on, 60 on,
