MANUFACTURERS DISCUSS "HoME
PRODUCTS WEEK" At LUNCH
EoN-MANY PRESENT.

Ottumwa manufacturers to the num-
Der of some twenty-five lunched today
at the Commercial association and dis
cussed the plans for Home Products
Week when Ottumwa made goods
will be displayed and the public made
aware of local manufactures.
That the plans will carry Is not
doubted although just what they will
include Is not fully determined. The
meeting consumed considerable time
and the question of how the proposed
exposition should be carried out was
discussed from various angles with q
view to get complete expression
from all of those present.
The general outline of the plan is
to have some piece Of each kind of o.
tumwa made product shown In the
large display windows Of the retail
stores and the heavier type of manu-
facture placed on the streets In the
down town district.
The time of holding the exhibit it Is
thought will be the week of October
to 10, while the Farmers institute
and live stock show Is being held
here. That week will attract large
number to the city and it Is the ex-
pectation of the manufacturers to
reach as many as possible and make
known to everybody In this and ad-
joining vicinities just what Is made IN
Ottumwa-
The Retail Merchants association
1T its last directors meeting Endorsed
the plan of the Manufacturers and
Commercial associations in the move
ment looking toward the advertising
of Ottumwa made goods. The mer-
chants state that they are willing to
cooperate to make the Home Pro-
ducts Week big and successful one.
