FIRST BOARD Of TRADE
LUNCHEON ON TUESDAY
LARGE ATTENDANCE MANlFEsTs
MUCH INTEREST IN Or
GANiZATION.

The Wallace Board of Trade met at
noon last Tuesday, the occasion being
the first of a series Of luncheons
which will be served weekly on Mon
day. This was the first step in car
rying out the plans recently adopted
to rejuvenate the board, infuse new
life into it, induce new members to
come into the organization. and to
make it a real factor in the business,
industrial and social life of the city
and district. Experience having
shown that it is difficult to secure a
representative attendance at meetings
OF the board in the evening, and also
that men are more tractable and dis
posed to get together in working for
a common cause when comfortably
seated at table provided with a
bounteous feed, it was decided to
abandon evening meetings and meet
at ~ O'Clock on Monday of each week,
enjoy a tempting lunch, to be follow
ed by business discussion or a formal
program, all to be disposed of with
in the noon hour. The first meeting
under this system last Tuesday was
certainly a splendid success, there
being 40 members present, represent
ing all classes of business and occupa-
tions. The luncheon was served at
the Grotto at cost of only so cents
per plate. The service was excellent
and caused wonder that the spread
could be provided at so low a figure.
:. Bylaws and Business.
D. A. Callahan, chairman of the
committee previously appointed o
draft bylaws for the organization.
submitted his report which was
adopted.
Secretary Harry McAllister read
numerous letters from various parts
of the country making inquiry re-
gardng business openings in Wallace
and requesting information regarding
population, industries and resources.
These were read for the purpose OF
showing the members the great bene-
fit that will follow the maintenance of
an active board of trade in advertising
the city and district and encouraging
the establishment of new enterprises.
Another interesting communication
came from Seattle, in which page Of
free advertising was offered the city
in handsomely prepared book that
will soon be issued to advertise the
transcontinental highways entering
the northwest, an offer that will un-
doubtedly be accepted.
