achievements to its credit The latest
achievement was the bringing To
Cairo of a branch d the largest but
ton manufacturing concern in the
world The club has financed tho
deal from the very beginning and
will not have to seek outside assist
anee in closing the deal for the new

to more than a hundred men,
Despite the fact that the CONNER

capped in its work because Of tha
