AUGUSTA mERCH ANTS WILL

STORES CLOSE IN SUMMER

A most interesting ana profitable
meeting o, the Augusta merchants
was held at the Willow Dining Room
tuesday noon to consider various
matters affecting Augusta trade,
Iuat these men are right on the lob
Is evidenced by the fact that every
seat IN ITO dining room was taken
a .. mat they gave full considera-
tlon to the matters in hand.
Inc lifst item of business to re,
cclVe the consideration of tho bust
ness men was the matter of secur-
ing additional bl,sine,s from the Ma
,ionai Soldiers Home at Togus. in.
me Wholesale line it was pointed
out. that thousands of dollars worth
UT BUSINESS is going to other com
munities simply because Augusta
dealers do not take the trouble TO
pld. In the field of increased retail
BUSINESS many suggestions were
'uaue by the special committee which
visited the Home recently. Chair
man Z. j.. Bilodeau made the report
and pointed cut how small courtesies
ana attention to these needs would
ne appreciated by Togus patrons
ana made the suggestion that a
cp'flrhittee be appointed to take up
me matter of additional car service.
~ ""'' w lltcu OUT lfl3l no business
man has right to ask any other
business man to undertake projects
at a loss and that additional car
service must be patronized to be
continued. 1T was suggested that
an advertising campaign be con-
quoted at once in connection with
inns request for additioal cars in
order to induce enough additional
traffic to justify it.
comment was made both by Chair
man Bllodeau and Secretary 6. G..
Clarke on dhe splendid way in which
the new officers of the Home arc
taking hold of the work there and
especially on their attempt to inter-
est Maine people in the Home. They
want every citizen of Maine to feel

citizen to enjoy and they hope that
thousands of summer visitors will
come to the establishment to take

the Home itself az disabled veterans
realize what a splendid place it is
and the excellent way in which the
Govcrnm:n is prepared to take care
Of their disabled soldiers.
1t is fully as important for the
people of Augusta to interest them
selves in the home as to attempt to
bring new factory to the city. The
present enrolment OF the Home is
in the vicinity of 500 men; it's capa-
city is 1000. If the Home is well
advertised and made popular. men
who now go to other Homes will
come here and the large payrolIs
and pension rolls incident to their
presence Will naturally be spent in
Augusta and nearby cities.
A committee composed of d. w.
Adams. Warren Malcolm, and
Charles +. Bilodcau WAS appointed
to so over the matter of additional
car service with the local superin-
tendent of the A. and X. Railroad,
Mr.. Bowie. and Secretary G.. {.
Clarke were authorized to issue y
special mimeographcd sheet to be
mailed monthly to the residents of
the Home. additional car service
has another value in its possibilities
OF bringing about real estate devei-
opment on the east side of the river.
There are plenty of available house
lots on the car line to Togus ana
the view from that point is excel
lent. The presence of the Earring
ton School is an added reason for
building in that section and car scry-
ice would tend to bring real estate
expansion along the Togus route.
The merchants also agreed to
take up the slack in funds in cou-
pic of Joint advertising matters that
have been hanging for some time in
order to start the new fiscal year
with clean slate. A committee or
SIN, composed of II. G. Barker. J.
Frank Bilodeau. Harry Goodrich.
Edwin Reid. Mr.. Worthing. ano
Lester LaBreck. was appointed to
take care of this matter.
1t was voted. after a brief discus
