PERMANENT
Headquarters c. OF c. To Be
In Israel Block
Room To Be Open At All
Times For Public Use

Chairman ]. S. McCrackin, of the
members council in the chamber of
commerce, announces that the regu-
lar weekly meeting Of that body will
be held "Wednesday at noon lunch
con, beginning Al l2 o'clock sharp,
in the store-room in the Israel block,
High and Mulbery streets, which has
been vacant for some time.
The board of directors has arrang-
ed to open permanent Headquarters
in this location in a week or two and
is anxious to hold the first noon
luncheon of the members council
there. The new headquarters of the
chamber of conn cree will be fitted
up attractively ami provided with ev-
cry convenience The basement and
second floor will doubtless serve spe-
cific purposes with various club fea-
lures for the members, while the
first floor will contain the secretary's
Office and a general Office convertible
to board and committee meetings, as
well as to the weekly luncheon meet
ings of the members council. It will
be also furnished with the end in
view of making it a headquarters for
the farmers coming TO the city There
will be installed rest room, seclud-
ed from the general office, for the
ladies', and there will be tables with
literature covering topics of interest
to the farmer, as well as a complete
file of magazines to pass away a dull
hour. Arrangements will probably be
made to keep the headquarters open
until train time at night for the con-
venience of out-oftown visitors.
The members council, at it's first
meeting last Wednesday night, adopt
ed rule that any representative who
could not attend weekly noon lunch
con should notify the secretary of the
chamber of commerce the day preced-
ing the meeting or be fined 20 cents.
Also, 1t was determined that any
member of the organization not a rep
resentative in the council, who wish.
ed to attend the luncheon, should
take the same precaution to assure a
table reservation. This was deemed
necessary so that the secretary could
notify the caterers in plenty of time
as to the number to be served.
