LOST BOARD
BEING SOUGHT
BY CHAMBER

The chamber of commerce asks
the help Of the community in locat-
ing q bulletin board which belongs
to that organization. This board
was used in the Bank of America
for & number Of months for dis
playing newspaper clippings show
ing improvement in business con-
ditions. When the Bank OF AM
erica moved from its old location to
its new quarters a few months ago
this bulletin board was placed in
the alley, and someone carried it
away.
The board is six or seven feet
high, unpainted; one side had press
notices tackled thereon, and the
other side had number Of brass
hCoks.
1--WE are particularly anxious to
get this board back said Secre-
tary Hays of the chamber OF COM
merce. because Of its historic as
scciations. This board was the Of
fetal bulletin hoard Of the United
States Land Office in Ell Centro for
IS years, and all notices relating to
proofs Of homeSteads and desert
land entries in Imperial county
were posted on it. I personally
bought it at the sale Of the land
office furniture when the office
was closed here, and when I went
into the chamber of commerce, I
gave it to that organization. I
hope we can locate this board. We
need it in the chamber Of com-
merce for our own bulletins, and
also it is something we ought 10
have preserved. >
