next Monday.
The local civic organization has
just completed one of its most
important years and there is
every indication that the gains
made during the past year will
continue with additional indus
trial expansion.
Location of the new Caldwell
plant of the Cleveland Graphite
Bronze Company here still
looms as the major accomplish
ment of the c. of c., and it will
affect the community in general
for many years to come.
President Dennison said that
during the solicitation of new
members, the annual collection
for the band concert funds would
be taken up at the same time.
1t was long been felt by c. of
c. officials that business men
wanted this accomplished at one
time rather than have a drive
every other month to raise funds
for this or that project.
For this reason, the member
ship and band concert drives
will be combined and merchants
will be solicited for both at the
same time.
The membership dues remain
at $500 and the amount of the
contribution for the band con-
certs will depend on the indivi-
dual business man.
President Dennison pointed
out that it was not necessary for
you to be in business to affiliat-
ed with the Chamber of Com
