About 40 members of the Wallace
board Of trade met at the regular
Monday luncheon this week This at
tendance was an increase over that of

enjoyable from a social standpoint,
and in the business session after the
luncheon questions of interest to the
city and district are discussed and

to one hour, from y to l, and every
member should make a special effort
to be present. The meetings bring
business men into closer relationship
and enables them to take united ac-
tion in all matters to promote the
common welfare
