tention upon q vital element OF com.
snunity lie.
There are many persons totally un.
familiar with tho producing capable
tiles 81 washington. Many have
lived here quite some time ana still
do not know that this city has an
Industrial output that pours from
the establishments located here and
that this production volume an
nually is approaching closer to the
s1oO,OO0.00O mark.
Chamber Of Commerce leaders be-
Meve there are several outstanding
reasons for the disregard Of industry
existing II the National Capital.
They see In this neglectfuI attitude
on the part Of many the reason for
bringing such persons into closer
contact with the enterprises estab-
lished here. Not, ot course, BY ex.
pecting them to visit the various
plants engaged In. manufacturing
work, but by bringing the enter
prisee to the attention Of those who
know 50 little about them.
With this idea in mind, the Cham
Der OF Commerce launched It's first
exposition which now has become
an annual event, and an institution
to which local industry and com.
merce may look for helpful i'm.
petus for the year ahead. The sec,
