 Mrs. w. D. Colby, the efficient treas urer of the exhibit, was one or the important factors. Her report IS most interesting, showing that the exhlDit was financial success.
 We found MT. and Mrs. Meehan and MT. and Mrs. Gibson of the Magic City Decorating company, who handled the decorations and making of booth, very satisfactory, and wish to thank them for their interest.
 To MT. Erickson,> manager ot the auditorium, who was courteous and helpful to everyone, and to MT. Sharp, stage manager, who was also very help- full, we extend out sincere thanks. I The center of the stage decoration was the beautiful picture, '"The Man o1 Sorrows" by NJ. Sasanoff. MT. John Altman had this picture slsent from Montgomery, in order that the many
 hundreds of school children might see it's wonderful inspiration.
 As general chairman of the exhibit.
 I averaged six hours per day for two
 months, and ten hours per day during
 the week of the exhibit. From It
 have derived the great pleasure of work , ing with worthwhile people for an lm-
 portant civic purpose.
 Mrs. Ernest LaPointe, who was Tn
 charge of the league membership booth,
 and her assistants, deserve many words
 of praise for their efforts.
 want to add word of special per : sonal thanks to the newspapers wmch were so wonderfully generous to us. To one and all of the exhibitors who by their splendid, enthusiastic co.opera tion aided in making the exhibit. Il marked success, the league extends warmest thanks: One could not help but be impressed, after viewing the exhibits of that which is produced, Of the possibilities of this district in pro viding all that is so essential in its expansion and building, in that every thing required in the building material
 line is produced within radius of 2O
 miles. There is no building material
 required but what this district produces, and in this exhibit it gave the people an opportunity of seeing and knowing
 that which would not have been known
 to them but through an exhibit of this P kind. @ Looking forward to an even bigger
 and better exhibit next year, g Respectfully submitted,3 s MRS, J. M. HAWKINS, : General Chairman , 1921 Manufacturers and Housewives T Exhibit.
