CITIZENS SMOKER IS
NEXT BIG EVENT TO Be
PULLED OFF. NOV. IS

Hot roast beef sandwiches, hot boil
ed ham sandwiches, and cigars! How
does that sound to you? Well, that
is the menu for the Citizens Smoker
TO be held at the Opera House, Thurs
day night, Nov. lG, commencing at
1880 o'clock. for the purpose of organ
izing Chamber of Commerce. Tick
cts for admission are now on sale at
all the local business houses. Nothing
to drink but water and milk.
II is believed that Tucumcar can
have one of the largest and most eff
ficient commercial organizations in the
State, and the above method for get
ting the citizens together on the sub
ject has been decided upon. Tucum-
carl has more public spirited citizens
than any other town of its size in the
State, which fact has been demonstrat-
ed over and over again, and especially
during the past year by the splendid
manner in which everyone has coop
Grated in pulling for the grain elevator
the Y. NJ. c. A.. good roads, and for
the grand success achieved by the
Roundup. The Y. NJ. c. A. PROPOSE
ton is not yet completed, and there
are many other enterprises to be reach
ed out after which may be secured
during the next year, among which
are bear grass factory, library, flour
mill, scenic highway, new passenger
depot, branch supply house for pack
ing company, and business college.
Efforts are now being made to secure
business college, and u live CONNER
cial organization is the only effective
instrument with which and through
which to reach out after such enter
prises. Such an organization can be
maintained in Tucumcari by the prop
er cooperation of the citizenship. at
an expense that will work hardship
on none. 1t is believed that two hun
dred members should be secured and
with such a large membership, one
dollar per month dues from each men,
ber, would take care of the overhead
expense.
Tucumcari is fortunate ir having
only few citizens who believe in get
ting in on all of the good things. but
never subscribe anything toward enter
prises for the public good. BY far the
majority take pleasure in each doing
his part in such propositions, and for
this reason it is believed that strong
commercial organization is possible.
| Plans for permanent Roundup or
ganization also viii Je discussed in
this meeting. 1t is said that the value
of the advertising Tucumcari received
by means of the Roundup can never be
estimated. but it is foregone conclus-
ion that the entertainment more than
put the town ION the map" The Off
GERS of the First Annual Roundup"
have been urged by numbers of local
folks TO make the organization a per-
manent one, and il is desired to set
the date now for the Second Annual
Roundup, so that advertising can be
commenced now. II is the purpose Of
many of the local business men to i'm
mediateiy put an advertisement of the
next roundup on their stationery ms
soon as the date for same has been
set.
