thought the trip did much good to help

protesting against the reduction in

poration line to Donaldson's store,
which was later made effective
through the board of directors. In
November the bureau was addressed
by DR.. Chester A. Amos in the inter-
ests of cancer week"
The Retail Merchants Bureau by
reason of its membership has as rule
the most largely attended meetings.
1t would be indeed difficult to go into
all the details of this bureau. Our
credit bureau has been used inceSsant-
y, sometimes as high as 10 requests
being made in one day for ratings on
different persons, and in numerous
other ways the office organizations
have been able to render personal
service. In March the annual style
show and parade took place. and was
said to have been successful.
At this time an advertising club was
formed within the membership of this
bureau and has already taken up ques-
tions of vital Importance to the trade.
In April the bureau had the pleasure
of hearing an address given by Mr..
S. H. Takes of Washington on the
question of credits, and as a conse-
Quence a Retail Credit Mems Associa-
ton was formed which is affiliated
with the Retail Credit Mems N<tional
Association. Many Of our merchants
regard this as one of the best organi-
cation with which we are connected,
and are loud in their praises Of what
has been accomplished. The commit
tee from this bureau also secured the
removal of the Jitney stand from n
point near the Union Station to the
corner of King and Pitt streets in the
center Of the retail business section
of the city. During the year four
dollar day sales were held, and all the
merchants taking part express them
selves az highly pleased wit results.
In May this bureau co-operated with
the Civic Bureau in a "Clean Up
Paint up Week" and the report re-
ceived from the committee was that
good results were obtained. In This
campaign we had the assistance of
the Health Department, Police De
Pertinent and the schools. This bureau
sent large delegation to the annual
meeting of the Retail Merchants of
. Virginia at Newport News and Sc
cured the election of Mr.. r. +. Knight
as president of that association. The
bureau decided on a uniform hour for
closing their stores during the sum-
mer months and also for closing on
Wednesday afternoons. Some mem
bers of this bureau had moving pic

nightly meetings of the different de-

Der has been actually teeming with :he
activities of civic and social nature
of interest to the welfare of the city.
With the beginning of our fiscal
year 1927 and in order that progress
in civic development might be def
nitely pursued with concrete results
in view, the members suggested activ-
tiles for the Chamber of Commerce to
undertake, and from these sugges-
tionS was formulated a program of
work which resulted in five definite
things which were most desired to be
accomplished. and were as follows;
l. Establishment of ferry to the
Maryland shore.
3 To develop back country re-
sources for the benefit of our city
and business.
3. A change in form of municipal
government.
l. To provide comfortable meeting
places for organizations working in
the interests of municipal advance
ment.
5. The installation of a lighting
system on King street, to be known as
White Way"
However, before this program was
undertaken, it was suggested and
adopted that the membership of the
Chamber of Commerce should be put
on the continuous membership plan,
instead of the three-year plan, as
heretofore, and it is believed that the
wisdom of this change is apparent to
