In conclusion / would like to say
this that the gentlemen of the Balti-

what great possibilities any AID Club
has providing the people of the COM

After that dinner was over, we at
tended a reception at the Belyidere
Hotel. given by the Los Angeles dele
cation, and there was convinced that
while advertising clubs were mainly
constructed for the buying and sell
ing of honest advertising, there was
also spirit of uplifting to the COM
munity which they represented. The
Los Angeles delegation like many
more delegations did themselves
proudly by boosting and telling of the
opportunities of their city.
Midnight Banquet.
After this gathering dispersed
went again to mass meeting at the
Armory, and listened to some more
live speaking, and returned to the Bel
yidere Hotel as guest to special ban
quet to the foreign delegates, for this
there we're 200 invitations, and al
though 1t was about 1890 when we
sat down, everybody was happy and
proud to be there.
Later my wife and myself attended
reception to the foreign delegates by
the Mayor and Mayoress of Balti-
more
California Friends.
A dinner was given by the Califor-
mia delegation when our delegate was
called upon to respond to a special
toast of Honolulu AID Club proposed
by j. Chas. Green, who dwelt on the
fact that we had travelled SO far to
attend. In thanking the California
delegates for the honor conferred,
volunteered support from this club,
and said we would do our part to help
San Francisco get the convention for
1915, and extended a royal welcome
to the delegates to come further and
visit our country, which was truly and
rightly named The Paradise of the
Pacific.
Many of the leading businessmen of
the city responded and each and every
one was given his work to do by ca
pable president Opponents in the
press got together, business opponents
got together. The result was a huge
success. The combination of brains
resulted in program of events cover
ing many attractions. In addition to
those have related were Maryland
dinner and moonlight cabaret at
Gwynn Oak park; champion lacrosse
game, at Homewood, the new home of
the Johns Hopkins University; a
grand ball to the retiring president;
"trip down the Chesapeake bay; and
lots more, not forgetting a hard
weeks work on the great problem of
Honest Advertising. A particularly
pleasing feature was the presence of
so many lady visitors. Amongst some
of the best and most capable members
of many clubs are the ladies' While
many of them are in the business of
advertising, other clubs owe their
great success to the social spirit in
duced by catering to lady members.
While a great many ladies remained
at the convention meetings during the
whole business sessions, Baltimoreans
cid themselves proud by not sparing
expense and arranging for vast
amount of entertainment especially
gotten up for the lady visitors.
Maryland is well known for its hos
pitality and the governor himself ar
ranged for a delightful river trip to
Annapolis. The lady members had
their headquarters in Charles street
and were at home during the whole
convention week. My wife was de-
lighted to receive cards from the Bal
timore ladies accompanied by beau
tiful basket of roses, just after arriv-
ing. The same courtesy was extended
to every lady visitor whose name was
registered at the armory.
Entertainments at the Country Club
and an automobile drive through thir-
ty miles of their beautiful country
were some of the features specially
arranged for the ladies'. ~.
Education for Honolulu 49,.
Honolulu has an object lesson in the
way most Ad Clubs get together TO
boost their city. The success of the
city means success for us all. Why
not enlarge our membership and for
get our business fights for at least an
hour each week? Have more men,
bers, and a larger attendance at these
interesting weekly lunches. We have
