The weekly meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce was held yesterday
morning with a fair attendance.
Among things attended to was the
adoption of a resolution thanking
those business men who had adver-,
tisements in The Champion as of
May 24, for devoting their space for
May 31 to individual reasons for the
existence of the organization. The
resolution appears in full herewith in
this writeup.
The by-laws and constitution com-
mittee made a report and the report
was laid on the table .until next meet-
ing. At this time this matter will
be considered and a full attendance
of the committee is desired and as
many visitors as -will attend the meet-
ing.

ries of trade trips over the county

The difference between the magic ;
valley and wonderful Shelby county, ■
is not a matter, of water, but a differ- J
ence of the application of the water.
There are several lessons to be
learned; so let’s take the first one.

and, '
Whereas: The advertisers in The
Champion, May 31, set forth m con-
vincing facts and in impressive o\,yle
the advantages of the Chamber of
Commerce; Therefore,
Be it Resolved: That we, the
Board of Directors • of the Center
Chamber of Commerce, go on record
as approving this method of educa-
ting the minds of the public to the
advantages of the Center Chamber of
^ppmmerce, and that we individually
arid; collectively thank- each adver-
tiser for his courtesy in donating his
space and interest in writing his ad
with a complete Chamber of Com-
merce coloring.
That we assure them that their ef-
forts were of the highest order.
That we mention in this resolution
the following firms who donated
their space whole or in part to the
advantages of the Center Chamber
of Commerce: Weaver Bros.; Per-
ry Bros.; Stripling & Armstrong;
Farmers State Bank; Center Electric
& Ice Co.; First National Bank; G.
L. Parmer; O. H. Polley Mercantile
Co.; City Bakery; Zilar Bros.; Metz
Mfg. Co.; J. M. Childress, Jr.; J. G.
Harris Hardware and Furniture Co.;
Smith Motor Co.; The Style'Shop,
Dillon-Bruce Motor Co.; The Chicken
Store and J. W. Motley Co.; and
.Be it Resolved Further: That we
do not single these out in contrast to
other business men, because only
those who had ads in May 24, 1922,
were solicited to donate their space,
and
That we recognize that there is not
a business man who wrould not have
readily donated space had he been
asked to do so; and,
- That we here and now go on record
as endorsing the last week in June as
J Chamber of Commerce week for
- June, and at such time every business

.donate space in The Champion to-
wards the correct educating of the
people of Shelby county on the Cham- '
of Commerce. •
