CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


By DR.. Harley G.. Mccormack
A capacity crowd turned
out Tuesday evening to hear
Mr.. Leonard Froling give an
encouraging and challenging
talk at the Chamber of Com
merce dinner which featured
retailers and their employee
guests.
Mr.. Froling, merchandise
manager of the Pritzlaff Hard
ware Co. of Milwaukee plac-
ed the responsibility of con-
tinued prosperity on the shout
ders of retailers; for it is up to
them to keep the products of
industry moving to the con-
sumer and thus maintain a
high level of prosperity. Mr..
Froling was optimistic in his
outlook for the future and
pointed out the large export
trade and the housing boom
which still has not materializ-
ed as indications that no slump
in business is foreseen in the
near future.
Retailers today are as a
whole still operating as they
did during the war years and
it's time they changed and de-
veloped an aggressive policy
of craftsmanship, use every
means of advertising avail
able, watch their stocks and
become thoroughly familiar
with their products so as to
be able to sell a service or the
products usefulness rather
than the product itself; these
being some of the suggestions
made by Mr.. Froling to the To-
cal retailers.
AS the guests of the Cham
Der of Commerce were the law
enforcement officers of City of
Zion and the members of the
Chamber went on record as be-
ing solidly behind any mea-
sure the officers took to en-
force the laws of our Com
munity.
The next Chamber dinner
will be held on Nov. 10 instead
of Nov. II so that the meet
ing will not be held on Armis-
tice Day. A special program
is planned for that night so
watch and plan for this meet
ing.

fashion board were selected by
lot and the list approved by
Mr.. Hubert Pearce, principal
of the Zion-Benton High
School. The high school fash
ion board will function in an
advisory and demonstrative
capacity-the young ideas of
these young ladies will reflect
themselves in the young Wig
orous merchandising and pro-
motional approach of the Zion
Department Store to the pre-
vailing fashions.
Next week, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday which
means October 80, 81 and
November 1st, we again shall
have in our Zion Department
Store as our guest, the repre-
sentative of the Evans Fur
Company, who will have with
him tens of thousands of dol
lars worth of precious furs
which will be on exhibit here
in the Zion Department Store.
We hope our friends will visit
us and see what we believe the
incest, best and most compre-
hensive collection of furs ever
presented to the public of
Zion.
The week following, on
Thursday, November 9Th, the

ZION-BENTON HONOR
ROLL TO BE YELLED

was originally erected in 1912
at the beginning of World
War II to honor those who so
gloriously gave of their time
and their very selves in World
War II. The original roll was
built in the form of a service
flag with a total of three Sec
tons, with the expectation
that this space would amply
suffice for those called into
the service from this area. In
1913 it was necessary to add
two wings to the roll in order
to accommodate the names of
all those who were in the arm
ed forces. Immediately follow
ing the War, due to construc-
ton of the McEwen-Mumford
building, it was necessary to
move the roll to it's present To-
cation.
The Zion Civic Forensic Club
were the original sponsors of
the project and spearheaded
all of the necessary campaigns
to erect and maintain the roll
throughout these troublesome
years. The citizens of Zion and
the surrounding communities
gave generous help, both fin
ancially and with actual la
Dor in maintenance. Special
credit should be given to Otto
Lawrence of the Zion Bowling
Lanes who furnished the cleo
tricity for illumination;' Paul
McEwen of the McEwen Elec-
trio Company for the installa-
ton of lighting facilities; l.. J.
Reed for the use of the then
vacant property, for it's erec-
ton; the Cyclone Fence Com
pany for ornamental protec-
tive fence; the Fisher Flower
Shop for decorative flowers
and shrubs; the Christian
Catholic Church for supplying
flags, and William Schwager
for actively serving as chair
man for the committee respon-
sible. Space will not permit
listing of many others who
contributed in both time and
money to this project.
Immediately following the
yelling, steps will be taken to
remove the present roll, and
next week complete an
nouncement will be made of
the plans in process for a per-
manent monument to honor
those who paid the supreme
sacrifice. Further announce
ment also will be made as to
the details of the yelling cere-
mony to be held November 9.
All possible are urgently re-
quested to attend this service.

checks, testifying that he turned
the money over to Nickel and re-
ceived per cent as commission
