f13) An Advertising Fund and Cam
paign in Keeping with the Size and
DEVELOPMENT of the CITY,"
The above covers a mighty con-
structive program and the Wildwood
Board of Trade has resolved to carry
it out as completely as is possible and
it asks the aid of all citizens in doing
so. Now to the doings of the Janu-
airy meeting. After the reading and
approval of the minutes a commune
cation was read from William S..
Woods, secretary of Byron Pennington
Croker Post, endorsing and felicitat-
ing the Board of Trade upon the adop-
ton of the splendid Is points and
pledging the Posts cooperation in
putting them into practice. S. A. Lam
ming, chairman of the special COM
mittee appointed a month ago to raise
SIS, 1000 by popular subscription to be
spent in advertising in New York and
other city papers, reported that 1873
pledges at $25 each had been obtained,
and he said he felt sure the other II
pledges would be secured in a short
time. Mr.. tanning said be had him
self secured AZ of these pledges, re-
marking with some gusto: "If you
think it was any easy matter you
have another guess coming" At this
the kid in the chair joshed the ice
man. with the remark: mot so, Mr.
Lanning; you only thought So" The
subscription papers circulated for this
purpose read as follows:
I'VE, the undersigned, hereby prom
Use and agree to pay the sum of $25 on
the first day of August, 1922, to the
advertising committee of the Wild
wood Board of Trade. 1t is agreed and
understood that the money thus paid
will form part of a fund that will be
used exclusively for New York and
other metropolitan newspaper adver-
Using. 1t is further agreed that this
pledge will be binding upon me, my
heirs, executors, administrators and
assigns"
The convention committee, John B.
Wright, chairman, made a written
report in which it was stated that one
of the prospects for the 1922 season
was a Society Of Friends from Moores-
town. 1t was suggested that the rail
road committee or officers write a
strong letter to the railroads calling
their attention to the large amount of
money to be spent for advertising in
the New York papers and in the large
cities, and urging this as a reason
when making up their summer sched-
ules that the train service to Wild
wood be improved. An effort should
be made to have good connec-
lions from New York, Jersey City and
Newark in the summer time over the
Jersey Central, Reading and Wildwood
and Delaware Bay Short Line rail-
road to Wildwood. The Wildwood adj
vertising in these cities should en-
brace a brief, but fully explanatory,
timetable oftrains to and from Wild
WOOu. IISSiucnt GOSlIA ~dHuOuuCcQ
that arrangements had been made to
do this very thing, not only by COR
respondence but by personal call fol-
low-ups. 1t has also been suggested
that in these letters a Wildwood book
let be enclosed, as well as printed
statements of the three Wildwood
banks and the five local building asso-
Citations and by all means a copy of
that "13 points folder. In writing to
strangers it is a good thing for Wild
wood business men to have such liter
ature t fhand to enclose with the let
ter. The Journal Office has followed
such a practice for years. Senator w.
H. Bright, upon invitation, was present
and gave one of his interesting adj
dresses. Among other things he stated
that the $31, 900 state money that he
had succeeded in having appOrtiOned
