The Alabama merchants convention
was to have met in Birmingham on Au-
gust %, 20 and 80, but when Mr.. Brown
learned that the Chamber of Commerce
had chance to get Mr.. Hoover to ad-
dress Alabama merchants in Birrning-
ham, following his speech in Memphis
Mr.. Brown Immediately went to Wash
ington and presented the opportunity to
Mr.. Hoover, with the result that he ac-
cepted the invita- ton, and the date of
the merchants convention was made to
harmonic with previous date in Memphis
made by Mr.. Hoover.
Secretary Everett of the Alabama Mer-
chants association at once announced
the change in dates of the meeting of the
association, and will change all litera-
ture that is in course of being printed.
This was the only way to get Mr..
Hoover to Birmingham, and showing
that spirit of cooperation that is ever
prevalent with Alabama merchants, the
date was promptly changed to suit Mr..
Hoover's convenience.
1t is expected that the Jefferson thea
tire will be packed on the occasion of
Mr.. Hoovers visit to Birmingham, as
great interest is being shown here in
food conservation and elimination OF
waste.
