The furniture dealers of Ensley will equip the space with a sufficient number of lounges, desks, chairs. lamps, and other furniture to make the rest room comfortable.
 The association authorized the com- mittee, of which P. H. Tyler is chair man, to have printed special station cry and envelopes for the visitors, which will be furnished with the compliments of the associated mer- chants. It was also planned to pro- vide every merchant in the city with window card, which will be a worded welcome to the visitors, of fering the use of telephones and all other facilities on this occasion.
