action has placed Hendersonvil1e. SO
to speak, in a class with Atlanta and
as these were the only To-
cations considered. Atlanta and Biz
offered large sums of mon
ey, Hendersenville offered something
worth more than money, an ideal eli
mate. The fact that Hendersonvilis
was considered by this committee has
been given the greatest publicity
through the Associated Press, and is
worth thousands of dollars to us even
though we fail to secure the university

most active members is largely re-
sponsible for the establishment of
modern hospital in Hendersonville,
such an institution as we have long
needed and of which we feel Justly
proud.

sufficient influence to put Henderson,

dcrsonville club is doing everything
within its power to make Henderson
vile an all the year round resort, to
bring schools, factories, permanent
residents from other sections and
money to Hendersonville; is working
ali the time with view of making
EendersonV1Ile not only popular re-
sort but populous prosperous city
as well. A city cannot be real city
" .thoLt some such organization of the
business men as the Greater Hender-
senEille club. Take our neighboring
city, AsheVille, growing by leaps and
bounds; the representative business
men admit that Asheville's wonderful
growth and prosperity is directly due
to the "Pull Together" spirit of the
business men of the city, for which
the board of trade is responsible.
In view of the above recital which
hut poorly covers the ground, it is up
to you to decide as business men
