 The exhibit is strictly confined to local manufacturers, and it's slogan is Buy Birmingham-Made Goods" It has received the hearty indorsement of the Manufacturers associati n, headed by l.. Sevier, and of the junior cham Der of commerce, as well as of 0. h. Bum, manager of the Chamber ot Commerce. The project will be presented by Mir. Bum to the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce at their meeting this week, and it is expected that they will approve it. Action on the part of other civic and luncheon clubs is looked for at their meetings during the coming week.
