THE BOARD OF TRADE

What's its mission? What benefit is

A commercial organization of this
| character is supposed to be made up of
the business men and citizens of the
community. To meet and discuss the
various commercial and other problems
that affect the entire community. For
the upbuilding of the community as a
whole minus self-interest and agrandize-
ment.

progressive Board of Trade that every
man, woman and child should be proud
of. An institution that has and is work.
ing with tireless energy for the better
ment of the entire community.
| Last fall the subject of good roads was
taken up. Result: we will soon have as
| fine a system of hard-surfaced roads
| radiating out from Punta Gorda as there
is in the state, that will not only benefit
Punta Gorda, but the entire community.
If the Charlotte Harbor district votes
for good roads bonds that will connect
us up with Manatee county's good road
system that will connect us with Hills
borough's million dollar system of good
roads, that will bring thousands of
strangers and good people to this neigh
borhood that never would have come
otherwise
The Board of Trade started the pro-
ject of the drainage canal south of town.
We have recently pushed this through
to a successful issue and a certainty.
This alone will be worth thousands to
the community by making the trucking
industry of this district certainty.
Without the efforts of the Board of
Trade neither of these great improve
ments would have been consumated. To- |
day we are fighting and working out |
various other problems that will be of |
lasting benefit to the community.
The Board of Trade meets every Fri
lay night. The discussions are interest
ng and instructive. There are IS paid

CANNING INDUSTRY

VANDERVORT OF OHIO COMES TO

FOR NEW INDUSTRY.

c. +. Vandervort of Springfield
Ohio, whose probable visit here was
announced by the Missoula Chamber
Of Commerce recently and who has
been watched for eagerly by all of
those in this community who are in
terested in the establishment of a
fruit and vegetable canning industry.
arrived in Missoula last evening. To-
day he will talk over the general sit
uation as relating to the proposed in
dustry with Secretary Ferguson of
the chamber and with business men
of the city. Then he expects to get
out through the surrounding valleys
and make some Investigations in per
son. Il want to see if all the things
l have been reading about this sec
ton of the country are really true,
is the way Mr. Vandervort put it last
evening. IF they are. then it seems
to me that this would be an ideal To-
cation for the establishment of a
canning industry on Il good, big scale.
Mind you, I'm making no promises.
Moreover, I'm not here for my health

tablish a cannery here, even thougl
other conditions might be ideal II

canning industry in Ohio and after
have had chance to look into these
conditions here | will be able to talk

Whether or not Mr.. Vandervort de-
cides to establish a canning factory
here, the people of western Montana
are going to like him. He has most
pleasing personality He is without
ostentation and radiates sincerity Mr..
Vandervort says that he first heard Of
this section of the country from
friends and acquaintances who reside
here. Then he got into communica-
ton with the chamber of commerce
and has been studying it's literature
and more lately many personal letters
covering specific points of which he
desired to learn.
"One thing seems certain, from all
have been told,' said Mr.. Wander
wort. this particular locality seems
fitted by nature to produce unlimited
quantities of those fruits and vege-
tables which are the natural products
of canning factory. There Is a big |
demand for canned vegetables as we'll

of the canned goods used in the terri
tory tributary to Missoula comes from
