real CLAD HAND
TO BE EXTENDED

The stranger in Richmond's midst

come after this, says Shuman Jones,
chairman Of the newly created social
committee Of the Commercial club.
And general sociability among busi-
ness men and merchants Of the town
is going to grow, too. just as soon as
the committee gets started.
"A man could come here to start a
business or q store, and maybe some
body would call on him and tell him
they were glad he'd come and maybe
they wouldn't" said Jones. We're
going to change all that. We're go
ing to make them feel like they'd
been welcomed. Business men have
been here for years, and still know
only a few men vel, enough to speak
to. That's been one Of the things that
has been the matter with Richmond
The new committee hasn't worked
out any definite plans, but 1t soon
will, and then things will begin to
move. All the feeling that II know
all the men need to know so the rest
don't matter" is going to leave town
lust as soon as the social committee
starts, and be replaced by feeling
that Richmond men are SO good to
know that a fellow can't make too
many friends" says the chairman.
