 President Traey's Report.
 While our membership has not shown a remarkable growth, there have been many good names added to our roll call. and as you run down the list of more than two hundred names you will see there many$men you are glad to meet not only in the associa- ton rooms, but on the street in your place of business and in your homes. The entertainment committee has done splendid work and I have con- graduated myself many times during the year that I have had such men as Chairman Beard and his live associates to provide entertainments such as the association has enjoyed during the past winter.
 Hardly less important is the rooms committee, of which Charles F. Rise dorf is chairman. Although a very busy man, he has taken time to sec that the rooms have always been in such condition that you have been proud to show your friends our asso- citation home.
 Another important committee is the membership committee, and Chairman James B. Fullerton has been a tireless worker in that field, bringing at almost every meeting a list of names.
 At our annual meeting one year ago nine members were appointed dele gates to attend the 18th annual con- vention of the State Business Mems association held in Waterbury on Oct 18th, and seven members of this com mittee were present, a mulch better | representation than we had the previ- ous year; but let us have this year every member of this committee pres | ent. It is we'll worth while to make the effort, for aside from the business done you are most royalty entertained and it gives your home association ( | splendid standing to have a full com. mittee present
 ant evenings Of entertainment durint the past year. and also referring to Olt ', School and Home week in most appro | priate terms. President Tracy said:
