CONSOLATION FOR THE BANKERS

Naturally the bankers of Wildwood
are somewhat agitated over the pros
meet of two new banks in this COM
munity. Competition comes to grow
ing towns sooner or later and Wild
wood is no exception to the rule: If
charters for the two new banks are
granted it will be found probably that
the three banking institutions will
continue to grow as in the past. How
ever. some consolation may be found
in the following paragraph penned re-
Gently by a prominent writer:
"The Union of Locomotive Engi-
neers recently purchased a substantial
part of the Empire Trust Company of
New York. Some old-fashioned finan-
ciers shivered, and they will shiver
more now, for the engineers will es-
tablish in New York a bank entirely
their own, with branches operating
throughout the city. Instead of shiv-
ering, finance should rejoice. Nothing
makes you conservative more quickly
than owning a bank, except owning
two banks"

Sheriff George A. Redding
Addresses Lions Meeting
Booster Seals Are Ordered

Sheriff Redding was the principal
speaker in the Lions Club meeting
held in the Wildwood Athletic Club
house on Friday evening of last week.
The Sheriff, as president of the w. A. c..
and the Board of Trustees of this club
were the guests of honor at this meet
ing, the first ever held by the Lions
in the w. A. c.. club house. The per-
mission for this meeting was granted
by the Board of Trustees and the club
will probably sanction the boards
action at their next meeting so that in
future probably all Lions Club meet
ings will be held there. Sheriff Red
ding, in his speech to the Lions, said,
Cooperation between the civic and
social bodies of the city will bring
about not only better organizations
but a better Wildwood" One feature
brought up was the dividing of the
club into two sections known as the
army and the navy. These sections
are going to hold a contest for attend
ance and there is liable to be quite a
war between the two militaristic
bodies as to who can get out the
greatest number of members at the
meetings. There have been quite a
contest for a design for a Booster
Stamp for Wildwood. This contest was
managed by the Lions and they Of
fered a prize of $1,000 to the person
presenting the best design. C. A. He'll,
Jr., was the winner of the contest with
a design showing the world floating
through the clouds. In large letters
across the face of the design is the
slogan, wildwood Welcomes the
World" In the corners of the design
are Boating, Bathing, Fishing and
Golf" and "The Greatest of Resorts"
The stamp will be oval in shape and
will be printed in silver and blue.
Fifty thousand of these stamps have
peer ordered for distribution and
when these are received and dis
tributed every letter leaving the city
should be sealed with one Of these
stamps as a great advertising medium
for the city. The Lions are also Sc
curing cuts of this design for use by
local hotels and business houses in
the printing of their envelopes and
letter heads. 1t is the hope of the
club to standardize this design
throughout the Island so that the seal
will be a constant reminder Of the
great resort we call home, no matter
where it is seen. A similar example
is found in the Atlantic City clock
face and their slogan, atlantic City
All The Time" Also in the National
Biscuit Company's slogan, "Uneeda
Biscuit" Standard advertising is a
great moneymaker in these days and
with the cooperation of the city in
every respect the Lions Club design
should and no doubt will become a
standard insignia for Wildwood.
