JOINT ADVERTISING
ASKED FOR SUBURBS

Consolidation of the efforts Of cham

tricts around Washington In advertising

a spirit OF friendly rivalry in the differ
ent sections and to aid in the progress
of each WAS the proposal MADE NJ
meeting of representatives from the
bethesda, Arlington County and silver
Spring Chambers OF Commerce iaS'
night in the Bethesda Bank.
Paul Heideke presided at the meetinS
and sponsored the consolidation plan.
Representatives from Arlington County
and silver Spring explained the meth
DDS which their bodies have used In the
past wear in an effort to raise advertis-
ing funds and told how they had used
the funds
Mr.. Heideke said 1t Is not his purpose
to consolidate the chambers, but that
II all the communities would Join IN ad-
vertising each would benefit by the ex-
periences of the other and spirit OF
rivalry In the amount OF advertising
would result.
This plan would have a far-reachin2
effect, It Is believed. because II the
smaller communities surrounding WASH
inston can progress under such a pro-
gram, Washington itself will In all prob
ability follow the same line.
It Is proposed that other meetings Of
the chambers Of commerce representa-
tiyes will be held in the near future.
