Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-05-21

This promises to be Americas BAN
ner Chautauqua, at least as to excel
lence of the program and complete uni
ty of those of our citizens who appre-
ciate community .interes tin the things
which fake life broader and richer.
The efforts of the ladies of the hospital
board have been strenuous, and have
been rewarded with excellent support,
although they still have some tickets
which ought to be in the hands of folks
who believe in Americus. Apparently
nobody is willing to give up so admir-

"Salesmanship and Business Building" ="
Said he: Il am willing that any and
every business man iii Americus snail
bc refunded the price of admission as
lie goes out tonight, if he does not say
that he got hundred times his mon

oua, and in every one of the four pre-
ceeding cities. namely Jacksonville,
Fayetteville. n c., Winston-Salem, n.
C.. and Greenville, S. c., business men
lave called me up the next morning
after Fogleman's lecture and asked
where he would speak that night, say
ing they were arranging to go by auto
and hear him. AS he goes from here
TO Montgomery, Ala. that will be i'm
nossible here. When firms like the
Ford Motor Co. and the National Cash
Register Co.. will pay tremendous fees
to have this lecture delivered to their
men. doesn't it look like all business
men ought to be interested in it?"
Tomorrow afternoon. B. F. Mcdonald
speaks on "Moonshine." MIR. Dunbar

Tomorrow night comes one of the
