TOURIST HEADQUARTERS

Monday; FORMAL
OPENING LATER

A fine meeting of the Membership
Council of the Lakeland Chamber of
Commerce was held when twenty-five
members sat down at luncheon at the
new fremont today.
The principal topic of discussion
was the matter of taking care of our
winter visitors this season, and pro-
viding for their comfort and amuse-
ment. In this connection Secretary
Holworthy reported that Tourist
Headquarters had been arranged, &C.
cupying the second floor of the Audi
forum, and that the Headquarters
would be opened on November goth.
The attention Of those present was
called to the fact that furniture was
needed for these rooms, and several
volunteered to contribute chairs,
tables and other articles of furni-
ture.
1t was planned to have an enter
tainment of some kind, in the nature
of formal opening of the Tourist
Headquarters, at an early date, and
the arrangement for this affair, and
also to suggest plans for entertain
ing the visitors during their stay
here, the following committee was
appointed by the chairman: John
F. Cox, DR.. S. f. Smith, ] E. Ho-
bart, Lester Hall, Fred Benford.
Mr.. De Milly suggested that
large sign or placard of some kind,
bearing on it in concise form some
brief information regarding Lake
land, be placed at or near the sta
ton. This matter was referred to
the committee on publicity, and the
suggestion doubtless will be acted
upon promptly.

APPRECIATES SPIRIT
OF HELPING THOSE
INDUSTRIES NOW
ESTABLISHED

Secretary A. J. Holworthy has re-
ceivcd the following letter in regard
to an article which he wrote for this
paper recently on fostering the en-
tcrprises we already have before en-
couraging the location of others:
Lakeland, Fla, Nov 13. 1916.
Mr.. A. j. Holworthy,
Secretary Chamber of Commerce:
Dear Sir-I desire to express to
you in behalf of our enterprise, the
Collins Canning Company, our appre-
citation of your words of encourage
ment published in last Fridays Tele-
gram. Without doubt the point you
make in your communication is well
taken. Lakeland's citizens must en-
dorse her infant industries both
financially and morally, if they de-
sire to do that which is of the most
good for our city. Other industries
will naturally be attracted here if
those that are here already show an
active and successful growth.
These large undertakings must o.
necessity be handled in this way. In
this way every manufacturing and
commercial city is built up, by CO.
operation of the citizens with the
worthy small and struggling enter
prises. Every citizen of Lakeland
realizes that factories of various
kinds are what is needed more than
anything else. A payroll will do for
our city what it has done for cities
scattered all through the country
made thriving and happy communi-
ties. with a demand for homes and
property. What has been done else
where can be done here, along prop
er lines. Where the natural resources
ere so bountiful as they are here,
there can be little doubt of ultimate
success.
Again thanking you for the senti-
ments expressed in behalf of our en-
terprise, | am
Yours very truly,
H. L. COLLINS.
