AL the meeting or the general committee of the Plainville Cham Der of Commerce held last evening i in the chamber rooms on Pierce street to find out if it would be | feasible to hold an industrial exhibit here. great interest was displayed in the project than had been shown at the meeting last week and the attendance was satisfactory. The manufacturers, retailers and whole salerS, present at the discussion at the invitation of the chamber com mittee, expressed their desire to have an industrial exhibit in Plain vile.
 The general committee of the chamber was much heartened by this revival Of interest on the part | of the manufacturers and mer- chants. / The proposed exhibit was discussed to some length and it was decided that there was not suffi- cient time left before September or the first of October to make an1 work out the details of the exhibit. Those interested in the project are greatly in favor of making the ex- hibit something worth while and therefore it was decided to hold the affair next spring. This will provide for more time in which to work out the details of the exhibit and to put it over on large scale.
 It was brought out at the meeting that such an exhibit would go long way toward advertising the products of Plainville and showing the state the progress that the town is mak- ing.
 One Chamber of Commerce mem- Der stated that he believed that Plainville would be the first town of it's size in the state to hold an industrial exhibit Of this nature an that the town would greatly benefit from an advertising standpoint.
 The general committee in charge of the proposed exhibit will devote it's time and energy toward laying plans that will put the affair over on a successful basis and make it act as a boost to Plainville.
