the hotel campaign.
AT the request Of the campaign
executive committee, John A. Judy,
prominent attorney of Mt. Sterling,
and well known throughout Mont
gomery county end Eastern Ken
lucky, was appointed to head the
Citizens Committee, which will be
organized to conduct a thorough
canvass Of Mt. Sterling and Mont
gomery county for the sale Of stock
for the new hotel. Mr.. Judy IN turn
has selected a staff of three of the
community's most active citizens as
follows: h. G. Kern, O. w. McCor-
mick and Lee Oreer. These three
men forming Mr.: Judy's stafs will
be entrusted with the task of Sc
'ccting three men each, a total of
nine. These men also will be real
leaders, and thoroughly representa-
tive of the class of citizens who are
always found boosting for any pro-
ject that is for the good CT the
community. Through the efforts of
these leaders a. big sales organiza-
ton of Mt. Sterling and Montgomery
county citizens will be built up to
put the hotel drive over successful
ly. The Citizens Committee will be
carefully selected by the nine cap.
tains who are chosen for the task,
and will represent ninety of this
community's best statesmen.
This large Citizens Committee of
ninety-four men will CO. operate with
the Executive Committee of eighteen
men, which has already been com
pleted.
Together the two committees will
form a sales organization of one
hundred and eleven Of Mt. Sterling
and Montgomery county citizens.
This organization will be thoroughly
coached In all the facts relating TO-
this community hotel project, and in
the plans that will be used to put it
through successfully.
II is safe to say that this com
munity has never yet seen as repre-
sentative and well equipped organi-
cation to put over a community pro-
ject as this organization will be.
Regarding this movement there are
two points that stand out as being
practically assured: First, that a
new hotel is an imperative need for
this community. Second, that when
group of leaders, such as have
gotten back of the present movement
to secure a new hotel set their minds
to do a thing, there can be no doubt
of its complete success.
In a recent interview, Mr.. Judy
further said that he has three main
reasons for taking this position.
First of all, because he believes that
Mt. Sterling must build a new no
tel or take a backward step as a
community of the state of Kentucky.
Second, he is for it because he is
tired of apologizing for the com
munity's utter lack of hotel facili-
ties to guests of his who visit him
for business as well as for social
reasons. AS things now stand, Mr..
Judy says, he is compelled for sheer
shame, to entertain in his own home
men who visit him here for bust
ness reasons.
Third, he Is for the project be-
cause he believes that 1T will pay
reasonable direct finar"ial dividend
to the investor; also that it will pay
very large community dividends in
the form of additional sums of
money that will be spent here by
people who are induced to come to
this community, and in many in
stances to remain over here for sew
eral days because we will have good
hotel facilities to offer them. Real
estate values are always increased
in any community that is enterpris-
ing enough to provide itself with a
