Merchants and Business Men Fail to Appear at Session
COMMITTEE DISAPPOINTED

Fulton Market Leases Whiting
 Street Store-Gamc Is Postponed Saves Automobile From Burning keen disappointment was express ed today by members of the com mittee of the Plainville Chamber of Commerce over the lack of interest displayed in the meeting last night to discuss the feasibility of holding an industrial exhibit here. Although the session was widely advertised. no one appeared outside of the mem- bers and the decision of the con,- mittee is more up in the air than ever.
 In order to make sure that this non-interest is the real feeling of the business men of the town. the committee decided last night to hold another such meeting next ThursIay night at o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce rooms on Pierce street.
 Members of the committee point ed out today that the exhibit will benefit much more the retailers in Plainvillc than it will the manufaC- turers. In fact. according to one member. the exhibit will benefit the | manufacturers not at all while the retailers will have chance to boom | their business The exhibit was thought of as a means Of educating the townspeople to trading in Plaih- vile but because of the lack of in. terest, it is very probable that the project may be dropped.
 The meeting next week will be the deciding factor in whether the eX- hibit will be held or not and once again the committee issues it's invi- tatibn to all those who are inter ested, both wholesalers retailers and manufacturers, to be represented at tho session.
