COMMERCE MEN
MEET INFORMALLY
SECRETARIES URGE CLOSE
RELATIONS BETWEEN
VALLEY CITIES

Wisconsin river valley commercial
secretaries held an informal gather
ing Tuesday at the Chamber of Com
merce, on the invitation of D. A. Cald-
we'll, secretary of the Wausau organi-
cation. w. S. Booker, secretary of
the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce;
Ebert c. Kellogg, secretary Chamber
of Commerce, Nekoosa; Mrs. l.. L.
Dickinson, secretary, Association of
Commerce, Amigo, and NJ Mortenson,
secretary of Commerce, Stratford
were in attendance
This is the first time an attempt has
been made to effect better under
standing between commercial organi-
cations Of the Wisconsin river valley,
doing away with petty animosities
which heretofore have predominated
in inter-city relations. and to substi-
tute spirit Of cooperation. Although
the number of secretaries present was
small, there was no lack of enthusi-
asm and secretaries believe that those
who failed to participate will later
regret their aloofness.
= Tourist Advertising
Cooperative advertising was one
subject treated in the general discus
sion. 1t is believed that better re-
suits can be obtained if cities in the
valley use what money they have for
tourist advertising together instead of
separately.
THE Chamber of Commerce in the
Small Town." was the subject of "a
talk by Mr.. Booker of Marshfield. He
told interestingly of the work of an
organization of this sort and empha-
sized the Importance of the secreta-
ry, declaring that upon his personall-
ty to a great. extent, depends the sue
cess of the small town Chamber of
Commerce. Mr. Booker also spoke
on the protection of merchants against
itiuerant traders. The law helps, he
told the secretaries, but through SER
vice and by fighting fire with fire
many local merchants meet foreign
competition successfully.
"Our Guests
Mrs. Dickinson ably spoke of "Our
Guests, the 1922 Tourists. She tolu
the secretaries that Amigo had dis
covered that tourists are not alto
gether transients but many times they
have stopped in Amigo for a week to
a month making trips to the lakes
but using that city as headquarters.
Mrs. Dickinson is the only woman
commercial secretary in the state, is

widely travelled and has made sue
cess at Amigo, we are informed.
Mr. Caldwell urged the secretaries
to cooperate against fake solicita-
ton. He said that effective work is
now being done but that many times
rake solicitations can be stopped it
advance information is to be had. He
asked the use of the telephone when
ne ce ssary.
Another commercial secretaries
meeting will probably be held in An
