SUBSCRIPTIONS CON-
ING FOR MARIETTA
MODERN HOTEL
Executive Committee Makes Own
subscriptions. Operator of OF
teray Hotel Offers to Lease

The quiet canvas to get big sub
scriptions of stock for Marietta's new
hotel gets the right kind of a start.
The executive committee for the no.
tel campaign has the right idea and
they have started the campaign right.
At recent meeting of the commit
tee the members present made their
own subscriptions for stock in sub
stantial amounts. Then the commit
tee was organized into groups for
craftsmanship purposes and they have
first sold the members of the COM
mittee. This is the proper display
OF confidence in the project on the
part of the men who have been clos
est to it, thus far, and have had best
opportunity to study the situation and
the facts, that have been assembled
bearing on the local situation and on
hotels that are being operated in 9TH
err places.
The Chamber of Commerce Hotel
Committee and ]. T. Anderson, chair
man of the executive committee have
received numerous communications
from hotel operators, bankers and
Chamber of Commerce executives in
various communities giving facts
about new hotels that have been OBJ
Grating for year or more. These
letters have been read from time to
time at the committee meetings. Sd
for as space would permit important
extracts from any Of them have been
printed and published for distribu-
ton.
AT a meeting held in the Chamber
OF Commerce Wednesday the execu-
tive committee made up list of cit
izens whose interest and ability to
buy large blocks of stock, in this
community enterprise, is well recog-
nlzed. The sales groups. &c the ex-
ecutive committee have distributed
these names and are now making n
quiet canvas to see how much stock
can be sold to this limited list in adj
vance Of the intensive campaign. This
being a community enterprise the
stock will be offered for sale bv a
large committee of volunteer sales
men, all citizens of Marietta who will
be doing this work for the good of
Marietta. Like the members of the
executive committe these volunteer
statesmen will themselves buy stock in
the new hotel and they will offer it
for sale in amounts of one share and
up.
r. W. Northcutt, general campaign
chairman and P. B. Latimer. asso-
ciate general chairman have selected
the following managers for the four
divisions in the big sales organiza-
ton: H. G. Conway, A. L. Grove.
Gordon B. Gam and NJ. D. Hodges.
These four division managers are
now busy securing twelve real live
wires from among the business men
OF Marietta who will head the twelve
sales groups. Messrs. Northcutt and
Latimer state that according to the
present outlook these leaders will be
secured and will have their sales
groups ready to begin the intensive
campaign at a very early date in
May.
The executive committee is really
in a contest with Northcutt and Lat
inner and their four division mana
gers in an endeavor to see if the ex-
ecutive committee will have its pro-
gram of selling large blocks of stock
sufficiently advanced so that the big
volunteer citizens sales organization
can go right ahead with the intensive
campaign when it is organized.
In fact, there is a race on right
now between the executive commit
tee and. the leaders of the citizens
volunteer sales organization to see
which will be ready first to start the
intensive campaign.
A very important communication
was received by the hotel committee
of the Chamber of Commerce from
}. M. Alexander, of Greenville, S. a..
who desires to lease the new hotel
when the hotel company has been or
ganized. Mr.. Alexander now oper-
ates the Otteray Hotel at Greenville.
He and his father who are associated
in the hotel business have roeo,.4l,-
