activities Of the past year.
There are now three important con
Germs and a number of minor ones
who are planning In a short while 70
licate their plants IN tBrun~wick, as
direct results af the campaign of the
board of trade, under the direction =
Secretary Weatherly. Brunswick has
been advertised throughout the couu-
try, and any concern to whom the ad-
vantagas offered by this city might
possibly be of interest argues Itself
unimportant and unrrogres5ire unless
IL knows all about !}runswlcf.
All .he members Of the board o.
trade have been urged to attend the
meeting, as well rs all citizers inter
ested in the progress OF the city, but
for the most part the urging .,as bee /
suDerfluous, and it would be a harder
matter to persuade them to stay away
than to get them to attend.
