TO 472 IN THREE DAYS, MAKING
RECORD AMONG AMERICAN CITIES
No Other City the Size of Bis

Dcne This-Goal at Begin
ming Is Passed by " Men,
J bers, and Workers Hope to
Make it 500.

The roll of memberships in the
re-oranization and expansion cam
paign of the Commercial club was
raised to 472 members when reports
were made by workers at noon. Six
ty-eight new memberships were re-
ported. =
In spite of the fact that today was
the third day of the campaign the
turnout Of workers at the morning
roll-call at the Grand Pacific hotel
was equal in numbers to the frs, day.
Instead of diminishing, the confidence
and enthusiasm Of all the workers
grew by leaps and bounds.
The goal, originally 400, is now
500, and when the whole town has
been combed for "hang-overs" and a
few Of the outstanding out-of-town
firms send in their cards, the goal
will be reached.
