The annual election of officers was
the principal business before the Com
mercial club at their regular Wednes-
day luncheon at the Imperial hotel.
There was nice attendance and the
business of the session passed off In
a very brisk manner.
The officers of the club were re-
elected without a dissenting voice and
are as follows:
President, S. A. Anderson.
Vice-presidents, w. w. Brown and
M. Reese Hattabaugh.
Secretary treasurer, Frank Van
Deventer.
Governing board, Frank McGrane,
John p. Eimers, j. Frank Sims, O.
A. BranScombe and l. NJ. Harris.
In a neat little speech Frank Mo
Crane on behalf Of the club extended
the officers the thanks of the CONNER
cial body for the efforts put forth to
keep alive and awaken further In
terest and for the numerous matters
that have been brought to success
full conclusion during the year just
past. The president responded in a
few well chosen remarks. The ap-
pointment of committees was deferred
until the next meeting.
The matter of guide posts and signs
was again taken up and the request
of the Goodrich Rubber Co. for data
concerning points on the most gener-
ally Travelled roads where signs are
to be placed was turned over to a
committee composed Of the following
members: Frank Van Deventer, w.
A. Robinson and John p. Eimers, who
will make a road map giving the de
sired information, names of towns, dis
| tances, etc. Owing to the lateness
of the season the Goodrich Co. will
be able to furnish only about thirty
of these signs which are to be made
of the most durable metal with the
lettering drilled into the surface, a
sample of which was exhibited at the
meeting.
