bulk. (most of which are through tho
courtesy of the Southern Railway
practically every individual request
for booklet has been answered with
personal lettcr fro mthe secretary.
If nothing else had been accom-
plished, this distribution Of booklets
alone would make the work OF the
Board OF Trade success and a good
return to each member for the small
amount Invested as dues.
The second and more important
channel is, the work Of the Beard in
General and the work of the execu-
tive committees
We started the year 1917 with two
projects in view. Cotton mills and
golf grounds. Owing 20 general cor
d;tions, we'll known to us all, we were
forced to abandon these projects foc
for tho year
! Much of our work is necessarily in
conjunction with other organizations
or. individuals. and for the successful
elimination of which, we do not as
sumo entire credit.
Wa have been seriously handicapped
by lack of funds. BOARD OF Trade
work is largely accomplished through
committees and often the committee
work involves the expenditure OF
funds. Any such committee appoint
ed during the past year had to bear
the additional burden of raising the
funds necessary for their work.
Some of our work is still unfinished,
held in allowance for ono cause or au-
other. the details Of which 1t is not
necessary to mention here.
The first real work accomplished
was that of the advertising committee.
Those of our members who have ma n
tanned sufficient interest to keen post
ed, know that this committee did great
work, in advertising Hendersonville
before the winter crowds in Florida.
The results were to be seen by the in
crease in our spring tourist business.

that while not a few tacts are set
forth, it does not pretend to settle the
all-important question of ways and
means. Ii however it will bring these
ways and means about. then its efforts
will in truth be fulfilled. In other
words, the work suggested by your
committee is a crusade. Now in most
crusades the first and most important
thing is to create sentiment. Herein
we are fortunate There isn't man
in Henderson county who does not be-
lieve in maintaining our public high

needed and that the Board of Tradl.
could be a prime factor in helping to
bring to pass.
We have accomplished few this
this year:
One, of which we should feel par
ticularly proud, is, we have paid OF
all indebtedness and have a clean
sheet to start with for the coming
year:
Another, is the excellent results wt
got from the advertising we did, TO
which the Advertising committee dc
serves a vote Of thanks from the
chamber.
The securing OF the meeting of the
Shr1ners and the( e(way they were en-
tertained, deserves special mention, as
in my judgment, it will, and already
has, resulted in much good for, our
town Many other things COLD b

done this year.

Just few things the Board of Tr,,.'
should do, and can do:

Second, to see a nice. attractive
booklet gotten out that will carry i'm

sees it
Third, provide adequate amusement
and entertainment for the guests we
hope and expect to receive during the
looming year. As Hendersonyille is
now a tourist town. and our depen-
dence is almost entirely from that
source, We should use every effort to
make it the best tourist town in Wes-
tern North Carolina 1t is already the
best, but we want it. the very best.

T A. Ewbank read the following re-
rort al the annual meeting OF the board
of Trade:
Your committee begs to report a
very successful year Tor the amount
axnended through it's hands the results
beIng limited only IN that the sum
available was much too small to carry
ont the ideas of it's several members.
The chairman has thought for some
time that we should take up some form
OF advertising other than the publish
ing OF booklets and with that end in
view advocated the use of newspaper
space last spring. This idea was en-
dorsed by all the members and after
taking the matter up with the board
in regular meetings a plan was out
lined whereby We contracted for a
small campaign looking 10 the attrac-
ton of tourists on their return north
from the Florida resorts. Space was
taken twice a week covering u period
of six weeks in five OF the leading
Florida papers. This was followed up
bv having a Hendersonville slide fash
ed on the moving picture screens in
the several towns in which the news
paper ads were running. The total
cost of this campaign amounted to
$4,000 and the result more than JUS
titled the expectations of your commit
tee. Many people came to Henderson,
vile through having the town brought
to their attention by our ads and per-
GonaIIv your chairman had the pleas
ure of talking to several parties w1o
stated they had never heard OF the
town before.
Your committee recommends that
this form of ADVERTISING ba-cOnt ilassd
and definite program of this kind be
formulated with a view of gradually
charging it's scope. ThIs OF course
takes money, more money than we have
Ill S-gnL at TINS time, however, NE pc
heVe that the only way to derive per
manent results is to have a nXed pan
ana follow up from season 70 Sea5O4I
the WOrh that proves TO bring results.
We should endeavOr to devise ways
and means to provide an aGvertlsH-s :
Iund or IrOm $4,000 to $5,0JU. ms
sum seems large as compared WITH
what We have mad in the past but it
can be we'll spent anu Sucn an amount
would put us on the. map in such a
way as to attract more and more OF the
high class tourists with money to
spend.
Your committee feels that we should
also bend every effort to secure a nrst-
class golf course. This as ad adver-
Using feature would be the biggest
thing to do The class of tour -sts
that we are reaching out for will not
come until We have it.
Your CONN ttee is now engaged upon
the preparation of a new DooKIet ana
hopes TO be in a po5ition to submit
samples within very short time. 1t
Is proving to be big task and We have
not been able to make as much head
way as we had hoped. We now, arc
getting comparative bids from several
houses. This form of advertising we
consider necessary as a means OF fol-
lowing up inquiries resulting from
other sources.
Respectfully submitted,
F. A. EWBANK, Chairman.
