Evening journal., 1914-02-05

a committee he provided for by the
board OF directors TO take charge Of
the event We recommend that this
dinner be given on the Monday night
preceding the opening Of the State
Fair. and that the managers OF the
fair be asked to make the attractions
of the opening days of the fair such
as would attract and hold people
from all parts OF the peninsula.
1--WE recommend a comprehensive
advertising campaign in tributary
territory and that committee be ap-
pointed to take the campaign in
charge.
I'VE recommend that the board OF
directors call attention to the neces-
sity of q detailed soil survey In lower
Delaware and the Delmarvia penin-
sula, and that the board of directors
take action recommending that Della
ware. through its legislature will ot-
fer 10 cooperate with the national
government IN having such surveys
made
"We recommend that tho mcrcan-
tile division be permitted TO perfcc.
scheme for controlling what might
be called outside credits The manu-
facturer and the merchant are con-
tlnually solicited by canvassers who
seek for advertising on programs and
ia booklets and the like We ask
that bureau be approved in our de-
partment which viii have authority
TO take up this outside advertising
and bring Il under control
"Nc recommend that the mercantil,
division be given authority 10 take uI
and discuss the adyisability of erecting
a Demarvia exposition building on th,
grounds OF the Delaware State Fair As
ISOLATION. We believe such building
would make the basis of a further cx.
tension oi the growing friendly relation
ship between Wilmington and the PENN
sula.
~Nc want TO make arrangements fol
special monthly trade attractions
( everything which would make it reason
I ably worth while Tor people to come e
; Wilmington. and after they come once
/ to come again and keep coming.
I'VE want TO promote and extend th'
( good fellowship and better Acquaintance
Z among our business men so commend
! ably begun during The year and w
should in our section have frequen
! lunchcons and smokers when they vii
I do the most good
"Ne want TO arrange FOR Delmar
via building on the Delaware State Fai
+ grounds. whore We can have am exposi
tion OF Delmarvia products, thus ex
f. plotting the wonderful country betweel
f.. the bays while we are establishing
( relationship between the people of VII
mington and peninsula people which vii
inevitably bear the best Of fruit.
"We want to make careful stud
OF all roads and highways both publ
utility and roads for vehicular trave
with the end in view OF making the line
OF resistance towards Wilmington 9
smooth as possible
These things will al cost money, bu
we believe we have plan which wi
cnt down advertising. much of which
now practically worthless which pla
IN operation, we believe win more tina
compensate the merchant for his men
bership du0s or even a substantial sui
scription In brief we are convince
that with your interest and co operatio
we can negotiate q condition such j
win make il unprodtable for any me-
