SPLENDID WORK OF FARGO
COMMERCIAL CLUB PAST YEAR
Retiring President ]. 2. Hardy Gave Resume Of Work ef
Club in His Annual Address Which Shows That
Fargo Boosters Are Alive

tAMEEEHE ~
At the annual meeting Of the Fargo
Commercial club held last Tuesday
night the retiring president, j. p.
Hardy, delivered his annual address,
which was so well prepared that it is
published at this time, as on account
of other matters it was crowded out OF
The Forum the next day. 1t is hoped
that every reader of this paper will
read and digest it. for there are many
excellent points contained in the mes
sage. Mr.. Hardy said:
Conference.-The second Tuesday of
June marks the closing Of one of the
most eventful years in the history OF
your club, and a brief review Of the
things accomplished, started and pre-
meditated may not be aIniss.
The reconstruction work accom-
plished by your committee was SO sue
cessful in it's issue and sc graphic In
its performance that beyond a reminder
of the fact that 400 new memberships
were obtained further reference to this
feature of the past years work would
seem unnecessary.
Few possibly are ware OF the many
efforts for the upbuilding of Fargo's
interest that the club has undertaken
during the past year, as many things
are undertaken and accomplished that
outside of the precincts of the secre-
tary's Office are unheralded. The en-
tertainment of visitors has marked the
clubs efforts to a notable degree, the
following associations and individuals
having been entertained in one way
and another by committees appointed
for that purpose-viz.:

Alberta.

Possibly there were others of which
no record has been kept. There has

BILE:
