G. OF C.. COMMITTED.
AIDS MUSIC WEEK

Slim ulation of interest in music
and other arts that add to the cul-
ture and refinement Of city life Is
tee of the Chamber of Commerce.
Early IN 1924 a meeting OF the
committee was called for the pur
pose of determining what activity
might be sponsored that would be
of great good. After many sugges-
tons the plan Of sponsoring National
Music Week, the first week In May.
was adopted. Contests among high
school musical organizations. bands,
orchestras, mixed choruses, girls
and boys clubs were arranged. In
vitations were sent to all Indiana
high schools to enter their organiza-
tons. On Saturday, May 10, 1924,
almost 1000 Indiana high school
students participated in that con-
test. At night, under auspices of
the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts En-
terprises, awards of 500 to win
ners of first prizes and awards of
$50 each to winners of second prizes
were distributed by Madame Schu-
mann-Heink at Cadle Tabernacle.
In 1925 the fine arts committee
continued its Music week activities,
but varied them to the extent of
sponsoring it's own concluding con-
cert. The committee brought Max
Rosen, violinist, and Virginia

This year the committee made
another change In its general pro-
gram, dispensing with paid artists

day. at which time the two best in
each classification were chosen for

past three years has won it special
commentator from the national

INDUSTRIAL DEPT.
c. OF C.. BRINGS
NEW INDUSTRIES
Ready at All Times to Give
Accurate Information
on Conditions.

The Indianapolis Chamber Of
Commerce has had an industrial de-
partment for many years that has
assisted in bringing numerous new
factories to the city. This depart
ment of the Chamber has been sole
ly responsible for locating some of
the most valuable industries now in
business here, and has served with
out public acclaim, in bringing in
many others.
1t often happens that the Cham
Der of Commerce works with an in
dustrial prospect for months, fur
nishing it with information and as
sisting it in many other ways, and
that then, for one reason or another,
1t is not given credit for getting the
new industry. This does not mean
that the industrial bureau has not
been active. 1t means. rather, that
it has had the information which the
prospect wanted and has been able
to furnish it as a matter Of routine.
This is the most valuable service
which a Chamber of Commerce could
render an industrial prospect. and
constitutes the most businesslike
procedure.
Must Have Reason
Very few worthwhile Industries
move. The few that do. change their
locations for a definite reason. La
Dor is costing them too much; near
by supplies of raw materials have
been exhausted. or a revision OF
freight rates shuts them out of mar
kets In which they could once com
pete. When they choose new To-
cation. theS~are very careful TO pick
the right one. They usually employ
engineers to make a thorough study
of cities and towns. to decide which
one is best suited to their particular
needs. They are primarily interest
ed i'm facts which bear upon their
costs of production. Before they
spend large sums nj moving they
make sure that they are going to
the best place.
This being true. a Chamber OF
Commerce cannot always have as
much TO do with locating a prospec-
tive industry as the public is apt
to EXPECT of f. An industrial bu-
reau can have good information
about the city for use of the engi-
neers who may want il and can be
alert for industries that contemplate
moving or establishing branch
plants. II can exhibit interest and
offer its assistance and it can pre-
sen, important facts In a convinc-
ing way, but it cannot go out and
bring into the city large and going

TRADE DIVISION IS
BOOST TO BUSINESS

apolis wholesaler for ten years had
chance to enjoy the exchange of
ideas and to receive and invitation
to visit this city.
1T is just as desirable to have a
merchant in the territory visit In
dianapolis as it is to call upon him
in his place Of business. The Cham
Der of Commerce has promoted Buy
ers week for five consecutive years,
and it has grown in popularity every
year. Retailers are invited to come
to Indianapolis during this week,
and houses make an extra effort to
display the latest merchandise and
secure orders for fall trade. Approx
imately 1900 visitors come to this
city during Buyers week. Members
of the wholesale trade division pay
their round-trip railroad fare and
provide theater tickets and other en-
tertainment while they are in the
city. The sales during this week
have been steadily growing from
years to year, and last year totaled
$3.50. 900.
Connecting Link
1.-THE connecting link between
wholesale house and retailer which
functions throughout the year is the
travelling salesman. The wholesale
trade division wants the men travel
ing out of Indianapolis to be familiar
with sales promotion work done here
and to appreciate the advantages Of
the city as market center. They
have accomplished this by the an
nual dinner for statesmen, which is
held in January. A suitable program
is provided for entertainment and in
struction.
1.-THE results of courtesy trips,
Buyers week and statesmen dinners,
have been noticed in the splendid CO.
operation among the wholesale
houses in this city. and the reputa
ton of indianapolis in the large
territory it serves. Wholesale mer'
chants are recognized as a well or
ganized group and a splendid body
with which to do business. Plans
for the future include the contin
uation of present activities and the
addition of others which will help
the retailer dispose of his mer
chandise at a profitable figure. In
6ianapolis business men long have
realized that the best way to help
themselves is to help their custom
ers. The next few years may see
radical changes in buying habits
and the Indianapolis market is pre-
pared to meet any change which
might occur"

STATISTICS OF
CITY REVEAL

Quarter Century Brings Ex-
pansion in Industrial
Field.

Startling groy OF In6lSna polls is

1900 and 1876,
Then The city, with a reputation
Of 169. 900, covered 27,9 square miles.
Now the area is 49.5, and The pop

lrers' division director.
Banks Increased

100000. Holmes stated. Banks have
Increased from nino 70 rogty-,wo; re-
tail stores from / 400 10 1890. and
schools from 54 to 277 chamber fig
ures state.
n During this period OF slightly more
ga an quarter Of century, the popu-
walton of Indianapolis has increased
nearly two and half times: its area
has practically doubled; the collar
value OF it's manufactured products
has increased nearly seven Sold
Banks are now almost FIVE TO one
compared with 1900, and their re-
sources are many fold more. There
are now three retail stores to every
one in 1900, and five schools to every
one then" Holmes said.
''These things have not come about
as matters of chance. Cities grow
because they are made to grow. Few
OF them grow inevitably. While In
dianapolis has been making these
rapid strides forward, numerous
other cities have fallen behind in
comparison. Constant effort has kept
Indianapolis ahead and has made it
grow. With extremely few excep-
tons, the cities whose citizens have
not applied effort to make them
grow have not grown.
Led Expansion
Throughout this period OF growth,
the Chamber of Commerce has led
tho community in it's efforts for ex-
par,sion. Every department Of the
organization has played an i'm
portant part, but more than any
other, the industrial department can
lay claim to the credit. Industry is
fundamental in the community.
Without it. no city of size could long
exist. Without the growth of in
dustry. no city could grow. Bust
ness consists of demand for goods,
and demand for goods consists Of
power to purchase represented by
the money in the pockets of the
GRinfully employed. Industry gives
employment which is essential.
1.-THE industrial department known
as the Manufacturers Division, has
been charged with the responsibility
of providing Indianapolis with it's
full share of opportunities for en-
ployment The record of it's ac-
complishment speaks for itself in
the city's growth. The department
was instituted in the form Of COM
mittee on manufactures at the in
ception of the Chamber in 1890.
Shortly before 1900 the first new in
dustries committee was appointed.
This latter fact constitutes the
reason for comparing the city's size
in 1900 with it's present size. The
Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
was one Of the first to undertake
community industrial development
and has been a pioneer in many
phases of the work.

Promotion Of the. varied interests
of the wholesalers of Indianapolis is
the primary object of the wholesale
trade division Of the Chamber OF
Commerce which constantly is car
rying on program for the advance
ment of the local wholesale interests
in the ever widening territory known
as the Indianapolis wholesale trade
area. Distribution of merchandise
to the retailers in this area is the
chief aim and purpose of the d.
yAMn, said Clifford Dunphy, secre-
The old Indianapolis Trade Asso-
citation, formed in 1910, had the
same object. The present wholesale
trade committee has not changed its
policies or it's methods to any great
extent. 1t still is the aspiration Of
the membership to become better &C.
quainted with retail merchants in
the territory by visiting them in
their stores Also 1t is important
that merchants in the territory visit
Indianapolis to become familiar with
many facilities we possess for do
ing efficient business.
The methods inaugurated by the
Trade Association have been carried
forward with frequent changes in
minor details. The trade extension
trip is practiced under one name or
another by wholesale merchc hts in
all large market centers. Courtesy
trips are sponsored by the wholesale
trade division, and have covered the
Indianapolis territory many times,
Dunphy said.
I'm the old days merchants char.
tered special train and a large body
visited the towns on a prearranged
itinerary. They carried a brass band
conducted a parade in each city
passed out souvenirs, and wore some
distinctive hat, badge or coat. When
they arrived and departed from a
town the townspeople knew they had
received courtesy call
Exchange Ideas
Now, however, the Indianapolis
men are allowed the. maximum time
for calls on the merchants, and we
have sacrificed the parade, the band
and the old rollicking ballyhoo. A

Do You Like Apple
Pie? Try Lulu's

With added facilities, fnclud-
iag the most fully equipped
kitchen in the city, the Cham
Der of Commerce cafe, on the
second floor of the new build
ing, is becoming a popular place
for business men to eat.
Since moving into new quar-
ters the Chamber has served
an average of more than 200
meals daily. according to V. ID.
Vincent, manager. In addition
to that number many are served
in committe rooms, which flank
the dining hall on both sides.
The Chamber cafe has a city
wide reputation among business
men for it's apple pie. Persons
who have eaten the Chamber
