Committee to Start Vigorous Campaign for
 Trade in Birmingham

vigorous prosecution of the Trade in Birmingham campaign was agreed on at a meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce committee yester- day afternoon. It was decided to make a strong appeal to the large number of Birmingham people who were soon going away for their vacations to purchase ev- erything they would need in this city, rather than spend their money for these articles at other points. It was stated at the meeting yesterday that similar campaign last summer brought fine re- suits to the merchants of the city.
 Between 25.00O and 50,OOO folders setting forth strong reasons for trading in this city and showink the advantages offered to shoppers by the merchants here. will be printed and furnished to the stores within the next few days. It is intended to get these folders ready before tha first of the month so that the merchants can enclose them to their monthly state. ments.
 R. w. Ewing, who is the chairman of the Trade in Birmingham" committee announced that the hearty cooperation of the women's clubs and other organiza. tions among the women had been secured and that they were working hard to foster among the people the habit of buying nothing away from here which it was possible to secure in this city.
