Mr.. Green called upon members of
of the organization committee and
others for short talks. George Kiewel
was first called upon. He said that the
board was organized to look after the
individuals. In the past the good old
city has gotten along well, he said, and
we have had prosperity, but we should
look for more prosperity and we are
just looking out to keep Little Falls on
the map.
Charles Sylvester said that he was
glad that something we started a few
years ago has come to realization,
meaning the organization of the Board
Of Commerce and consequent paid sece-
tary. He said that if we put our
shoulders to the wheel we could accom-
plish much the first year. The amount
Of work that the bureaus of this organ
ization do will have much to do with
the success Of the organization, he add
ed.
J. w. Stephenson. in a few brief re-
marks, said that the success Of the or
ganization will depend on the directors
and on the secretary.
j. X. Martin said that this ORGAN.
ization was one thing that we have
worked for here for several years. We
were unable to go about it alone and
therefore secured an organization to
put on the campaign for us.
L. o. Vessel said he would be at the
meetings of the board and put his
shoulder to the wheel and work.
a. II. Tanner said he believed the new
organization would be a very good thing
for the city and for the individual.
John Vertin expressed the hope that
the board would get the hearty support
Of the citizens. In speaking of the
granite industry here he said that the
local company has had inquiries from
nearly every state in the union regard
ing their product.
Sam Hammerbeck of Little Falls
town said he was glad to be with the
organization. His farm would not be
worth much, he said, if it were not
for Little Falls.
Ed. M. LaFond indicated that he was
not accustomed to public speaking
his method being the paper, and beg
ged to be excused. =
T. c. Gordon said that it was unusual
" AAu DuSlHeSS meu pun COgeCQer as
they do in Little Falls. With proper
effort great things can be done by this
organization, he said, and he added
that he could see the starting Of new
and better Little Falls. =
Dr.Roberts spoke Of the possibility
on account Of the great value of coal
to get government plant here. He
said that the government is locating
plants throughout the country and this
city, with its facilities, ought to be able
to get one.
A. F. Koslosky said he had not been
very active in the preliminary cam
paign but that now he would roll up his
sleeves and get to work. There must
be absolute impartiality in the organ
ization, he said, in order that it is to
be really successful.
N. J. Peterson and M. W. Zipoy in
a few words thanked the members for
honoring them with the Offices of treas
urer and secretary respectively.
