The Warren District Business Mems
Association reports large accessions
to its membership, and has reached a
point greatly in advance OF anything
hitherto attained. which speaks Well
fer the efforts of President White,
" hose aim is to make the organiza-
ton a power for good in the District.
The committee on membership has
been active and from results so far
secured, feels confident that the cen
tury mark IS well in sight, and is
highly gratided by the interest shown
by business men in all lines, who have
expressed their determination and de-
sire to lend their aid i'm building up
and maintaining a live, active organi-
cation, whose aim is to improve con
ditions in the Warren District.
The Association has already accom-
pnshed much good. and promises fur
ther usefulness, by concentrated eff
fort and intelligent cooperation
There has never been so great an
interest shown i'm the work of the as
ISOLATION, old and new members alike
being Interested i'm movements calcu-
lated to advance the conditions in the
District i'm several directions.
This feeling of a desire to be a part
of an organization, whose object is to
improve conditions in the Warren
District, seems so universal that ap-
plications for membership are being
made by business men who have new
er taken an interest in the affairs of
the association.
As a matter Of fact, every business
man, both big and little, should join
the Warren District Business Mems
Association, and make his influence
Of benefit to the organization. There
are some big things coming up, and
if best results are desired, and max
ing defeat improbable, every man in
the District has a part to perform, if
he wants success to crown the efforts
of the association, we must help to
push it along.
