Enthusiasm Reported.
"It is too early to make any pre-
dictions," Walter B. Clarkson, chair
man of the unit. said last night, but
the wonderful enthusiasm and interest
displayed by every section chief and
every key man in our organization
leads me to believe that We have an
excellent chance of reaching or sur
passing our quota this year"
Organization of the Group Solicita-
ton Unit in it's present form Is due to
an intensive study conducted for sew
eral months by Chairman Clarkson
and the secretary of the unit B. M.
Luchs. Each establishment has been
given a definite place in the set-up
arranged at the Chest office and the
work of each person in the unit has
been detailed, so that every key man
was able to supply himself with all
necessary equipment when the actual
solicitation started during the past
week.
