Over 500 registered delegates at
tended The lind annual convention
LOT the Disciples Of Christ In Illi-
nois held IN tho Memorial Chris
| tian church, Rock Island, Oct. SIS.
One OF the outstanding features
was the adoption OF q new consti-
tuition for the Illinois Christian
missionary society.
The convention period Of activ-
! fty was inauEurated In March by
| the Sheet Metal Contractors ASSOC
citation OF Illinois, this being fol-
lowed. BY the meeting Of the ILL
inois State Bottlers' association.
The period closed with the meet
ling OF the superintendeuts Of the

lalndrymen OF the northern section
lof the state, both meets being stag
ed in November.
The question has often been
asked, whether or not conventions
are desirable for a city From
strictly business standpoint, reve-
nue. accrues to comparatively. few
lines Of business, such as hotels.
railroads and restaurants. The
! question is answered in the affirm
alive by the statement that such
gatherings build up good will for
! the communities in which they are
f: held.
The contention seems justified
that it means much to Rock Is
land to have strangers come and
go away, satisfied.
Publicity and business values
are not hard to find, the publicity
depending on the number attend
ing. The business value is natur-
ally the amount of money spent in
the community by the visitors.
1t is said that conventions -bene-
fit no one but hotel keepers, but as
an Offset, to this it is declared that
an analysis will show that hotel
proprietors in Rock Island spent
about IS per cent of their conven-
ton income here. mostly for sup
plies, labor and furniture.
Furthermore, delegates buy SOU
venirs, and women guests shop, and
investigation will demonstrate this
to be no small item.
II Bringing in capital"
The Rock Island Chamber Of
Commerce encourages factories to
locate here, in order to increase
the wealth of the city by bringing
more people to spend their invest
ment money. ~

money, and is propaganda in

Island makes the most of it's op-

that advantages are here obtain

i Not every city is suitable for
conventions. The good will" pre-
lviously referred to, depends en-
tirely upon the ability of Rock Is
land, for instance, to make dele
gates comfortable.
