COMMERCIAL CLUB, NEWLY
RE-ORCAN|zED WEDNESDAY

AeOOA SoAlAoIlOu VI WluSlOW 3
Commercial Club was effected
Wednesday night at the city hall.
following a meeting called for the
purpose of bringing back into ac-
tivity the organization which had
been allowed to lie dormant dur
ing the past year.
Realizing the urgent need for
such an active organization to pro-
mote WinslOw to the outside world.
large and representative gather
ing of the business and professional
men met Wednesday evening at the
city hall and after much discus
sion it was decided that for the
best interests of the city and to
promote Winslow's many natural
and potential advantages that such
an active organization should be
formed and inasmuch as Winslow
has had a Commercial Club, al
though inactive at present, revival
of that organization would be the
best method of procedure.
A. j. Renaud was elected presi-
dent of the new organization, and
Geo. N. Laws was elected secretary,
following which a board of direc-
tors were nominated and elected
as follows:
A. B. Nelson, Walter Olds, DIR.
R. G. Bazell, Homer Vaughan. G.
L. Giragi, Sam Proctor, o. L. Gray,
A. r. Kleindienst, M. L. Veteto, E.
H. Black, G.. H. Madden
Both the president and secretary
are also members of the board.
which will meet again tonight
(Friday) to consider finances, and
outline the policies of the new or
ganization and take steps to get
into active work.
There were various opinions ex-
pressed at Wednesdays meeting
several of which were pessimistic
with reference to the future sue
cess of commercial club for
Winslow, most adverse criticism be-
ing based on the fact that such or
ganizations in the past had not
been successful, but it was the
unanimous opinion that there is
much work to be undertaken by
an active club with the result that
the organization was perfected and
the club given a start by electing
it's officers and board of directors
with the next meeting date set.
1t is the plan of the organizers
of the commercial club that suffi-
cient funds shall be raised through
various methods, including men,
bership, in order that it can fun
ction and get behind every project
that will tend to sell Winslow to
the outside world. The plan is to
get everyone in Winslow, who is
resident and taxpayer here, to
join the club and cooperate to the
extent that it will become the main
stay of the district in everything
that relates to Winslow's activities
and advancement is concerned.
Representative of every labor and
civic organization as well as in
business and professional lines
are to be urged to join the club
which will have as it's sole objective
the interests of the city of Wins
low. 1t was agreed that matters
that tended to cause the old organi-
cations to lapse was due to the fact
that former organizations had not
functioned along these broader
lines, which includes the interests
of the city as whole and not any
particular interest in clique or or
ganiZation.
To make Winslow's new organi-
cation a real active one which shall
function along the lines as tenta-
lively laid out, will be the obJec-
tive of the new club, and Wednes-
days session resulting in effecting
the reorganization has given the
club a start that should result in
success, it is agreed by those who
have been working on the reor-
ganization for the past few months.
1t is agreed by everyone who has
the interests of Winslow and her
advancement at heart, that pro-
gress is next to impossible without
an active organization to take hold
of and push to completion the num-
erous problems and projects that
arise. Success to any community
is next to impossible unless CEN
tralized organization, representing
every interest in the district, works
in cooperation and this is only
possible through an active club, or
similar organization, such as prac-
tically every city and town in the
country has.
It is planned to engage the SER
vices of permanent secretary who
will have nothing else to do but to
look after the interests of the
Commercial Club, to handle the
proper publicity, to try and en-
courage investors, homeseekers and
healthseekers, as well as vacation
ers and tourists to come to Wins
low and make this their headquar-
ters, to say nothing of the promo
ton of Winslow's interests as far
as it's location on the National
Old Trails is concerned.
Besides Winslow's railroad adj
vantages, there is much to be gain
ed and much to be done to adj
