gratulations to George NJ. Plaisance,
Of Birmingham, anent his election as
president Of the Alabama Travellers
Association for the ensuing year. At
the annual meeting of the organiza-
ton held in Birmingham last week,
Mr.. Plaisance was elevated from the
position of first vice president to that
of executive head Of the association.
In retrospective account of the con-
vention, the Birmingham Age-Herald
of June &c says: ''In the selection Of
its officers, the association displayed
rare Judgment, for every man of them
has ability and willingness to work
for the good of the organization.
They are all good mixers, and have
friends in all lines of trade. All Of
them are known to practically every
travelling man in the state. The as
ISOLATION could hardly have selected
q better man than George Plaisance,
from the standpoint of affability or
ability to accomplish things. That
the Alabama Travellers, with such Of
ficers, will expand this year, is fore
gone conclusion" An excellent pic
ture of Mr.. Plaisance appeared on the
first page of the Birmingham News in
its edition of June %.
