TO OPEN ROAD BIDS
Old Spanish Trail to Be Paved From
kerrville to Silver Creek.

KerrvilIe, Tex, April 5.-Bids for
the paving Of the Old Spanish Trail,
from the west side of Kerrvilie to Sill
yer Creek, seven miles south of here,
will be opened at 10 o'clock, Tuesday
morning, April s, at the office OF
County Judge Lee Wallace.
Awarding of contract for the
work will be made at the regular
term of commissioners court the fol-
lowing Monday, provided that all bids
are not rejected. Work will begin i'm
mediately after the contract is signed,
probably by April 20 or 20. The
paving will be completed in from 60
to so days, giving Kerr county a
hard SURFACED road about the middle
of July.
The pavement will be eighteen feet
wide. When completed. the pavement
can be used five years without neces-
sity of repairs.
The work will be done at a cost OF
approximately $4,000.
Fifty per cent of the cost is to be
paid out of the donation Of $50, 900
made by Capt. Charles Schreiner last
spring. The other half of the ex-
pense is to be borne by the State and
Federal Highway Departments.
After a delay of nearly year. final
approval of the state and federal en-
gineers was recently given.
With the completion of the road to
Silver Creek the first link will be
made in the proposed hard surfaced
road TO connect Kerrville and San
Antonio.
A move has been under way for sew
eral months to pave the highway TO
Boerne. Kendall county is working
to extend the pavement from Boerne
to this county line.

CENTRAL BUREAU OF
ADVERTISING MAY BE
ESTABLISHED HERE
Chamber of Commerce
Plans to Investigate
Proposition.

Unworthy advertising solicitation
may be abolished as a result of action
taken by the trade extension depart
ment of the San Antonio Chamber of
Commerce at meeting Thursday,
when manufacturers and jobbers will
assemble at the Gunter to analyze
several situations of Importance TO
business interests. The question of
bringing new and competitive lines of
merchandise to San Antonio will be
discussed with the view of creating
in the near future larger market in
San Antonio for the two million pos
sible customers in this city's trade ter
ritory.
According to c. c. Wolfe, secretary
of trade extension, central bureau
of advertising may be established in
the trade department of the cham
Der for the purpose of protecting bus
mess men against unworthy or UNI
profitable advertising. If Mr.. Wolfe's
plan is adopted. all advertising sub
mitted to members of the bureau will
first be investigated by Mr.. Wolfe
and his department, thus insuring
none but the best results from paid
space in any advertising proposition.
Another matter of the greatest i'm
portance to merchants Will be dis.
cussed at the Thursday meeting, ac.
cording to Mr.. Wolfe, involving the i'll
dustrial and business future of San
Antonio as trading center. On,
hundred OF the largest jobbers aud
manufacturers have signfled theii
Willingness TO cooperate in an eff
fort TO bring a greater diversity OF
merchandise to TINS city, by attract
ing large sample houses and mer-
chandise wholesalers from the manu-
featuring centers of the United States,
inducing them to bring branch houses
to San Antonio.
Contrary to general opinion, the
wholesalers aud Jobbers or San An
tonic are not fighting competition, d"
Mr.. Wolfe stated. "On the other
hand, they are eager for large COM
petitors to establish houses III this
city, so that the buyer in our trade
territory will be brought, every time
he seeks market, TO San Antonio
and to no other city for his goods.
With wider and more general market
here, buyers for the two million people
i'll our immediate trade territory will
be satisfied TO shop in San Antonio
instead of in New York City, and
houses already established with their
competitive merchandise feel that they
would gain an appreciable advantage
in having more Jobbers and whole
salers with which TO supply the ire
mendous demand of our own buyers.

Each Trade-Motto
Unity for Service

San Antonio business men have
formed a chapter of the National Ex-
change Club. This movement followed
a campaign by the organization to get
clubs formed in this state. Several
other cities are forming chapters and
will follow San Antonio in getting
their charters. The San Antonio Ex-
change Club will be the first TO get a
charter in the state, having 30 men,

or similar organizations call for the
help of the public in drives 10 upbuild
the city, this club will help, he
says.
Only one person from each occupa-
ton will be admitted to be a member

ception to this rule is when two or
more people are in partnership and
in this case the two or more may
join. This will make small club,
but the representation in it Will be
from practically every trade in the
city, Mr.. Phelps said.
The slogan of the organization.
"Unity for Service" is a good one
and every member is pledged to help
keep this slogan. In Unity There
is Strength" is an old saying. but
