WILL INCREASE SCOPE
OF ACQUAINTANCE WEEK
Trade Extension bureau Fnvors In
corporation of Southern Mcr-
chants Conference.

AS result of an enthusiastic meet
ing of the Trade Extension Bureau OF
the Chamber of Commerce last night
at the business Mems Club, il was
decided TO continue the bureau, but
that its efforts shall be directed to-
ward accomplishing the same and bet
ter results in Il different manner The
bureau decided to do away with the
Better Acquaintance Week" and to
substitute a corporation to be organ
lied by the Extension Bureau under
the name of The Southern Retail Mcr-
chants Conference" In this way il is
hoped to increase the scope OF the
bureau and give it more value to the
city of Richmond.
Much opposition had developed to
the better acquaintance week. some
johhcrs claiming that the results of
the week did not compensate them for
the money invested. and therefore
favored disbanding the bucrau. How
ever. the consensus of opinion WAS
that while the plan may not have been
Il good one, il should not he discard ed
without substituting something for il,
and some argued that to discard the
Extension Bureau would be a reflec-
ton on Richmond and at the same
time hurt the business interests of the
city.
The plan proposed by the executive
committee embodied the forming OF a
corporation. This corporation is 10 be
known as The Southern Retail Mer-
chants Conference" and is TO be or
Eanized under the laws of Virginia,
with the principal office in Richmond.
The principal feature OF the plan is
that there must be- conference at
last once year in Richmond. This
conference, II Il expected, will go Il
long way toward Interesting merchants
in Richmond and Richmond iobbers
and manufacturers.
The conference that is to take place
in Richmond viii be under the dircc-
ton OF the Bureau of Extension, and
!, is hoped that better results Will be
accomplished by this plan.
This plan was adopted almost unani-
mous!y, and the executive committee
was commended for dcvising this
scheme.
The meeting was thrown open to
the election OF an executive committee
for the Trade Extension Bureau for
tho coming year. The present execu-
tive committee. composed of l.; r.
Sydnor, chairman. W. H. Eroaddus.
ALVIN NJ Smith. G. Il. Snow, g. W.
Massey, y. II. Fclthousc and j. r.
