TlSERS' CLUB

Richmond owes a vote of thanks to the
Richmond Advertisers. Club. from whose
members came the suggestion for the great
civic cooperative movement meeting. And not
only did these gentlemen suggest but they
worked hard to carry out such suggestions
The Advertisers Club is still less than q
year old. but it has done much to show that
1t is one of the city's most valuable organi-
zations. It has advertised Richmond in just
the way Richmond needed interchangeable
among Its people We have been more
than interested by the wonderfully significant
statistics the club has been carrying at the
bottom of this page for month more. We
are sure that we have read them in ordinary
print many times. and may have descanted
upon them ourselves, but they have never been
served up quite pithily and forcibly before.
For this 'front.' he-shouder serving OF
Significant facts In fashion that has i'm press
ed every reader Richmond must thank the Ad-
vertisers Club. Here's happy and prosper
Gus Near Year to the club and hearty good
wishes for its increased nhushce and still
greater usefulness.

The oystermen OF Warwick Isle of Wight.
Nansemond, and other tidewater counties have
adopted resolutions asking the repeal of the
law prohibiting the shipment of seed oysters
from the State. and asking that the oyster
season be extended from March 81 to June 1.
That such changes in the law would be ex-
tremely detrimental to the oystermer them
selves goes without saying and We are not
surprised to learn that the resolutions are
not to be seriously advocated even by the men
who adopted them.
