The BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET. Thursday
evening, May 18th, the annual banquet of the
Belfast Board of Trade will take place in Me-
mortal hall and it is expected there will be a
very large attendance. This banquet is given
in connection with the efforts Of the member
ship committee to secure q larger working
force with the hope of bringing influence to
bear on certain business concerns which are
considering locating in this city. An increas-
ed membership will give a greater working
force. and now that New England is looking to
an increase in all her manufacturing lines,
Belfast should have her share. The speaker
of tie evening will be Walter B. Moore, exc
cutive secretary of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, man who by his ability and care
full study has given the Portland organiza-
ton an impetus that Belfast needs, and it is
his intention to advise the members and guests
present as to what can be done in Belfast to
make successful Board of Trade. Mr.! Moore
will outline plan of work under which to
start campaign that will bring new indus
tries and new business plants to this city, and
which requires the pledging on the part of her
residents of a certain sum to be used in adver-
Using The Belfast Board of Trade now has a
number of industries on the string, which may
be landed. at least one or more, but is in need
of funds to sufficiently place before the people
of other States what they have to offer in this
part Of Maine. Many of the residents of the
city who have criticized the Boa I'd of Trade
the most harshly because tn shave done
nothing" have refused to give single dollar
to the Board of Trade to aid in a cam
paign for the betterment of the industries
of the city, and instead of being boosters have
done all that they could to discountenance the
work of the Board of Trade. Everyone should
hear Secretary Moore at the coming banquet.
and they will then have better idea of what
is expected of every citizen than they have
at this time.
