HERE To ACCEPT
BIRMINGHAM job
SECRETARY OF THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE HAS TENDERED HIS
RESIGNATION, EFFECTIVE ON
JULY 18TH.

P, a. Fenimore, for about two years
SECRETARY of the Chamber ef Com
merce. has rendered his resignation,
effective July 25th. He has accepted
an offer from the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce, which is re-
garded as probably the best place of
its kind in the South, with one OF the
largest trade boards in the country
Mr.. Fenimore is considered here to
be the most efficient secretary the
Americus Chamber of Commerce has
ever had, and the directors and mem
bers are reluctant to part with his
services. His resignation has not been
accepted as yet. However, as Mr..
Fenimore has no contract he is privi-
ledged to leave, and inasmach as the
Birmingham Office pays so much more
th the local position it Is 'elter
tain that he will go.
Several months ago Mr.. Fenimore
was offered the secretaryship in Ma
con. but stayed on here because at
that time he was deeply engaged in
the campaign for securing the aviation
camp, and he did not want to place
the Americas people at sudden dis
advantage by leaving Mr. Feninore
is native of Philadelphia, but has
engaged in public service and publicity
work in all parts of the country, and
is a man of exceptional experience
and ability.
