COMMERCIAL CLUB
SECRETARY RESIGNS
G. S. BRICKEY WILL PROBABLY
co TO KINGSvILLE, TEXAS
GLENN LEARY Sue
CEEDS HIM.

Garland S. Brickey, for more than
two years the very efficient secretary
of the Mariana Commercial Club.
has rendered his resignation to the
board of directors and Glenn II.
Leary, cashier for the Lesser-Gold-
man Cotton Company here, has been
elected to succeed Mr.. Brickey az
secretary. The change became effec-
tive on August /.
For several months Mr.. Brickey has
been the recipient of flattering Of
fers to become secretary of other
commercial organizations, among
them being proposition from the
Commercial Club at Kingsville, Tex.
which Mr.. Brickey will more than
likely accept. During his tenure as
secretary of the Mariana CONNER
cial Club Mr.. Brickey has built up q
splendid reputation both for the club
and for himself. Through his initia-
tive and originality he has placed
Mariana and Lee county in the lime
light as they have never been placed
before. The work that has been done
by the club here has attracted at
tention in all sections of the United
States, and it's fame has even spread
to Holland. Mr. Brickey has fire.
quently been called upon to deliver
addresses before other commercial
and industrial organizations that
wanted to know the Mariana way
of doing things. The offers he has
received recently are the direct re-
suits of these visits to other places.
Last month he went to Kingsville,
Texas, upon invitation Of the leaders
in that city, and remained there more
than a week going over the situation
with the officers of the Commercial
Club and telling them the plans that
had been so successfully followed
here.
Mr.. Brickey has resided in Mari
anna all his life and very naturally
regrets to sever relations that have
been so pleasant and extended over
such long period of time, but in
justice to himself he cannot afford to
ignore propositions that will call him
to larger and more remunerative
fields of activity.
At re recent meeting of the board Of
directors of the Commercial Club
when his resignation was accepted,
motion prevailed appointing special
committee to draft suitable resolu-
tions of commendation on the splendid
work Mr.. Brickey has done as secre.
tary of the organization. The resolu-
tions have not yet been prepared and
formally presented, but will probably
be acted upon at the next meeting Of
the Commercial Club on Monday eve-
ming, August 6.
Mr.. Leary who succeeds Mr.. Brick
ey is native of this city and is re-
garded as one of the most efficient
clerical men here. For years he has
held responsible positions and in every
capacity he has acquitted himself
creditably. While he has had no ex-
perience in Commercial Club work,
outside of his activities as a loyal
member of the organization, he 10
well fitted by the character of his
previous employment and by his ma
tural gifts for the position and the
members of the board of directors
feel confident he will develop into a
very efficient secretary, and that with
his knowledge of detail work. his
splendid address and his affability he
will be able, not only to maintain the
high standard of the work done by
the club, but will find new fields Of
usefulness for the organization.
