"Organize Purchasing PoUer Of Birmingham
Murray Browns Luncheon Results in Movement to Bring Heads of Concerns and Travelling Statesmen
 Together to Obtain Thorough Team Work

Organize the purchasing power of Birmingham" was the keynote of the luncheon rendered a hundred mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce at the Southern club yesterday.
 Murray Brown, of Goodall- Brown company, member of the chamber di- rectorate, was host, and the topic was extension and development of Bir- mingham's wholesale trade. Leading Wholesalers and manufacturers of Birmingham were present.
 Outcrop of the talks made at the luncheon was the decision to have an early meeting of heads of large con cerns in Birmingham and their .trav- cling men with a view of getting to- gether for the common purposes of trade extension and expansion.
 MT. Brown voiced commendation of the spirit recently expressed in inter- views with wholesalers and jobbers in The Age-Herald, in which they de- clared the way to get trade was to deserve it. If we give the service that we can and seem determined to oo' said Mir.

In passing I want to say we should get behind the common project of the semi-cen- tenniaL That will be good practice In community team work"

 Good of the Community
 Turning toward the place at the table where the writer of Good of the Community" sat, MT. Porter sad: T want to point out to the whole salers and jobbers here the man who has done more than any other single individual, more than several of them, for the advancement of the buy at home idea and for the ad- vancement of the wholesale trade in- terests of Birmingham. l want Rich- ard F, Johnston to stand up and let you see him.

generous applause by the assembled business men of Birmingham.
 MT Brown expressed his warm ap- preciation of the good work for trade extension that is being done by all Birmingham newspapers through news and editorial columns and in every other method available.
 Manager O. l.. Bum, speaking for the chamber, said: T have been with the chamber one year and given if the best in me. I can with truth say one thing: I can defy any man to show where he has asked anything of us and we have failed to produce it If we haven't got what he asks for we dig and get it. You know the good that has been done by the traf- fife bureau. We have just as good an organization in the Chamber of Commerce and with proper rallying around it we can do anything we want.
 Big Purchasing Power
 This big purchasing power Of Birmingham requires only little of organization to make it invincible. know of one purchasing agent or a large concern who asked men seek ing to sell goods to him where they did the most business. When tn man admitted that he did most IT this district, he looked him in the eye and asked him why he did not have an agency and warehouse or factory here. As the result of thai very gngery suggestion, this one Birmingham purchasing agent had caused the location in this city of ; agencies which had not had agents or warehouses here before.'
 J. Ed Keith pointed to splee1if results following conferences be- tween heads of the wholesale pro duce firms and their travelling sales men, result of which was that these more than so men were now pulling together intelligently for expansion of Birmingham trade.
 To Hold Conference Following MT. Keith J. Chaplins Hodges of Cosby Flour and Grair company made ringing talk for the Chamber of Commerce. The dinnel clubs. he said, were performing q service. but the Chamber of Com merce should be the" organization of the city. It should be the rally ing point for the united effort of tne business men of Birmingham to mal ( it bigger city and extend their owH | trade interests.
 Mir. Hodges moved the appointment of a committed whose duty it shall be to arrange an early conference of the heads of big concerns and their travelling salesmen with view tc going out big and with united front to increase Birminghams wholesal lt trade tentacles. The resolution wen. through with whoop.
 E. R. Smith entertained the diners with two character songs with piano accompaniment by Mrs George Le s which were much enjoyed.
 As result of the second of the Chamber of Commerce's weekly luncheons the big purchasing power of Birmingham Is to be organized and those who sell big bills of goods here are to be on notice that it is or ganized.
