 Proposed at Big Luncheon Yesterday

over the city now know what coffeeS, macaroni, meal and 50 other products are made in this town, and can call for them by names as well as their mothers can"
 Gerard Harris of the News, in a clever talk spoke of the cooperation of the press, and assured the women that it's continued support could be looked for in the future. As an in- dieation of how the newspapers help ed, one whole section of the wall was hung with clippings.
 l.. Sever. president of the Alabama Manufacturers association, made two short speeches telling of the work of that organization and setting forth that the exhibit would bring the whole community nearer together than it ever had been before.
 Two Fine Talks
 Chapline Hodges and F. w. Black ford made two of the finest addresses of the occasion. In fact, MT. Hodges, after Mrs. Johnston, practically turn ed on the pep spigot, said:
 Everybody is tickled to death with the exhibit. Everybody had 150 per cent good out of it and if you are willing have it again next year, we will again serve on committees and help you in every way. We are even talking about the show now over to the Civitan club.
 Laughter was produced when he cautioned the housewives present: We know that we will be successful when Birmingham women go back in their kitchens and make sure that they are using Birmingham made products"
 At this Fred Jackson, who makes mattresses, protested: well, all the things the women buy don { go in the kitchen.n,
 There was applaute. MT. Hodges complimented Mrs J. B. Reid as be ing always on the job;" what good work she does and said: "We hope we can get her back again when we have another big party"
 When Ben M. Jacobs was intre- duced, Mrs. Johnston gave credit also. to Bert and Bob Jacobs. and mention ed that he was the father of Roy Jacobs, former newspaper man. MT. Jacobs said that his donation, he felt, was not any more than a citizen should do to show community CO., operation. Joint action and profit sharing-that's my idea" he stressed. "The league started out to introduce the consumer to Birmingham manu- lecturers, and beautifully succeeded. If we want our city to reach our dreams, we must give in order to get. Education is tho foundation"
 MT. BIackford's speech
 MT. Blackford, who was introduced as one of the several men "who worked so enthusiastically, as com- mittee with the league members, re- lated: When women call us to an election or a luncheon we are there. About this exhibit; didn't we put it over! I'll say we did! I knew when the league started anything it would be success. Birmingham has had the most successful exposition in it's history He told Of how fine and complete were the exhibits, and men, toned practically all of the products shown. He felt the exhibit would lead to a Birmingham Manufacturers association that could work with the state association.
