 Meetings will be held once each week at which time all these matters will be taken up. Plans have been made to do various kinds of work for the business houses of Birmingham, such as keeping file of prospective purchasers of automobiles, real es- tate, furniture, typewriters and any article on which the club may earn a commission by finding purchasers and turning them over to regular salesmen of firms represented.
