TO BEAUTIFY PARKWAYS
Commissioner Lambert Expects
Much From Ordinance.
Considerable interest is being
shown by property owners in the
ordinance recently adopted whereby
permits must be obtained before
trees or shrubs may be planted in
the parkways along the streets in-
side the curbing. A number of in-
quiries have been made to Commis-
sioner Lambert from persons desir-
ing to know whether this would ap-
ply to trees and shrubs already
planted.
•‘I have told them” said the com-
missioner "that 1 did not think the
city or any other legislative body
has the^right to pass a law with a re-
troactive effect. There are some of
the parkways along a few of the
streets which I would like to se<
changed but in such cases we will
have to resort to moral suasion.
Where new trees are planted how-
ever. we will be able to give the lines
inside the curbs where such trees or
shrubs are to be planted and have
seething to say as to the kind of th<
plants which will be used. In this
way we can obtain uniformity in
these parkways which is a big feature
in city beautification.”

THE SAX ANTONIO LIGHT
THOUSAND CLUB
IS ORGANIZED
FOB PDBLICITY
One-fifth of Sum Required for
City Advertising Sub-
scribed.
ENTHUSIASM IS SHOWN
Business Men Determined to
Put San Antonio in National
Limelight.
“Now is the time to advertise San
Antonio.”
That was the keynote of the civic
meeting held Thursday night on the
roof garden of the St. Anthony ho-
tel under auspices of the Publicity
League to plan ways and means of
placing the city iu the national lime-
light. Prominent business and pro-
fessional men spoke on that theme
and suited action to their words by
subscribing to the advertising fund.
Before the meeting came to an
end $1935 had been pledged toward
the $lOOOO which the various civic
organizations intend raising for the
cause. The subscriptions were in the
form of memberships in the ’Thou-
sand Club” which is the vehicle to
be used in securing the desired
amount. A membership is represent-
ed by $lO. and when 1000 member-
ships have been taken it will mean
that the fund is complete.
Thousand Club F\»mied.
A number of the firms and in-
dividuals represented at the meet-
ing did not stop at one membership;
they took five and ten apiece
amounting to donations of $5O and
$lOO. Once started the movement
grew rapidh ; men in the audience
taking out one or more member-
ships. Before time for adjournment
the “Thousind Club” had grown in-
to a flourishing organization.
Not onlv did citizens come for-
ward with their own mone\ but they
volunteered to induce their friends
who wore not present to join the
movement. It is the desire of those
directing the campaign to complete
the fund within a week or ten days
and they are confident that the re-
sult can oe accomplished by use of
the “endless chain" system. As ev-
ery man subscribes he is expected
to secure other recruits.
A greater degree enthusiasm
was manifested at the gathering
than at any civic meeting held in
San Antonio within the last two
years. The cid "San Antonio spirit”
was at its best. Men who have been
pessimistic and inclined to let mat-
ters take their own course "warmed
up" under the influence of the meot-
iing and pledged their money and
personal efforts to the cause of up-
building the community through the
medium of publicity.
PooHa Man Hclp^.
So infectious was the spirit that It
'even inoculated outsidets men who
I have no interests in San Antonio.
। One of these was M. M. Bierce of
Peoria 111. He subscribed $lO to the
fund.
“I’m not a resident but I like the
! way jou do things here." explained
Mr. Bierc*. "Therefore I want to
I take out a membership ir. the Thou-
sand Club’ and help the good cause
along.
| It was not the original intention
:to raise money at the meeting but
as speaker after speaker told in
‘logical manner of the great oppor-
tunity confr* nting San Antonio to at-
| tract tourists in numbers such as
were never known before the en-
thusiasm went out of bounds.
“Let’s begin now." “What’s the
matter with starting th- ‘Thousand
Club’ righ: here?” came from the
audience. So T. L. Comoy was dele-
gated to serve as “exhortcr" and in
the space of less than halt an hour
he had succeeded in raising nearly
$2OOO among the 150 men present.
But that amount did not represent
the total <*t the night's work. More
than a doz?n men promised to sub-
scribe and said the amount would
be fixed after conferences with mem-
bers of the!’* respective firms.
Directors to Meet.
Directors of the Publicity League
will meet at 430 o’clock Friday
afternoon in the Chamber of Com-
I merce to map out plans for pushing
the campaign for members in the
' Thousand Club.” Then a luncheon
for those who have agreed to work
in the movement will be held at
the Gunter hotel Saturday noon.
J. V. Hucker. vice president of
the Publicity League presided at the
meeting. He told of the “get to-
gether” meeting at the Gunter hotel
July 27. at which the various civic
organizations discussed the need of
advertising San Antonio. The present
meeting he said was to decide on
ways and ir.eans of carrying out that
plan. He outlined the scheme of the
•’Thousand Club.”
The first speaker of the evening
was Dr. T. T. Jackson. In eloquent
terms he declared that opportunity
is thundering at the djors of the
community and then sketched the
many advantages and attractions of
‘the city from a tourist standpoint.
Dr. ^ackaon a S|*enker.
“If the time was ever ripe to be-
gin a campaign of educatton it is the
present” said Dr. Jackson. “The city
has at last attained things for which
it has been working many'years. We
have the government for which we
fought; we have good rtreets the
beautiful river bathing beaches the
hills and ideal climate and many
other attributes and advantages.
^’ow it is up to us to let the out-
side world know about th-se things.
Tourists can be brought here from
all parts of the United States and
they will not only go away satis-
fied but they will return.”
Dr. Jackson compared San An-
tonio to a merchant who has just
opened a st re. His shelves are stock-
ed with Roods but he must tell the
public about his wares before he
can hope for any volume of busi-
ness.
“The time has come to spread the
gospel of San Antonio far and wide”
he continued. "San Antonio is be-
coming more attractive every day:
bad streets and the dust nuisance Hie
of the past. If citizens will but put
their shoulders to the wheel and
work in this campaign it is certain
that San Antonio will be filled with
tourists next winter. And those who
contribute to the advertising fund
will receive ten-fold return on the
investment. I desire to take this op-
portunity to pledge myself and my
friends to the movement."
Co-operation Is Needed.
R. C. Jones president of the Ro-
tary Club spoke on co-operation
among commercial organizations. He
said he could not imagine a civic
body that was not interested in such
a cause.
"Brains brawn and much energy
have given us a fine city and we
have much to offer to visitors" sain
Mr. Jones. "Municipal advertising
should appeal to all citizens who are
anxious to see the city go ahead.
Now is the right time to begin.
Other cities notably Los Angeles
have htade a business of development
through advertising. Every city
must stand up and light for the
benefits to which it is entitled. No
city Is bigger than its citizenship.
Every citizen should join this move-
ment and thereby show his civic
pride and patriotism."
T. N. Smith president of the
Travis Club urged the "let every-
body work” slogan. He gave the
opinion that a quick sharp cam-
paign will result in the money be-
ing raised in a week or ten days if
every man docs his part.
Would Make Burden Light.
"San Antonio has de’Mvered the
goods’’ declared Mr. Smith "and
now we want the people of the
United States to know of our ac-
complishment. Advertising costs
money but If everybody contributes
a little the burden will not be very
heavy to any one.”
San Antonio would be flying in
the face of Providence not to take
advantage of the present opportun-
ity. according to E. M. Hays presi-
dent of the Real Estate Exchange.
“In the last couple of years 1 have
been inclined to discourage city pub-
licity.” said Mr. Hays. "The city
was not ready for visitors. But that
time has passed: a miracle has been
wrought and the place has bee>
transformed from a dusty town into
a metropolis. We have lots of as-
sets so let's 'cash in' on them.”
L. B. Clegg president of the
Chamber of Commerce advocated a
united effort in raising the 310.000
fund saying that method would re-
sult in the money' being made avail-
able in a week.
Mavor Brown aroused enthusiasm
by his statement that although the
citv administration cannot contribute
to a publicity fund it can and will
do things to make the community
attractive to tourists.
Golf Course in January.
"Bv January a 9-hole public golf
course In Brackenridge park will be
available and maybe 18 holes will be
ready." said the mayok . "And in the
near future a good road will be con-
structed to the Medina dam. I wish
the city could build that road; it
would be a good investment."
Mayor Brown emphasized golf
fishing hunting and other out-door
amusements as strong arguments in
ilrawing winter tourists from the
North and East. With the fish sup-
ply protected and a good road built
he said the Medina dam could well
be advertised as the greatest bass
fishing resort in America.
"Such attractions wilt draw as
manv tourists as the Alamo and the
missions have ever done." he de-
clared. “If a man In Minnesota
could be promised twelve quail shots
in a morning he would be apt to
bring his family here in the hunt-
ing season.
"Another thing The basic im-
provements have been made but
there is a big opportunity for the
city to 'brush up' and beautify. If
we do that furnish out-door amuse-
ments and then advertise the tour-
ist travel will be assured. I de-
sire to pledge my individual effort
to the cause."
Herbert J. Hayes spoke on the
"get-together spirit.” He said bus-
iness men should not hold together
in cliques but should "get out and
meet the other fellow." to accomp-
lish the most good for the commun-
ity. “It is 'we' not 'they' that
counts." declared Mr. Hayes.
Compare*. Witli Other Cities.
T. L. Conroy stressed the good
condition of San Antonio In com-
parison with other cities. He urged
that citizens "get the town spirit"
and go forth with the Idea of mak-
ing it a still hptter place in which
to live.
C. S. Fowler made an extended
argument In favor of the advertising
campaign. When he first came here
seven or eight years ago. he said
the town only had climate as an as-
set. Yet It was filled with tourists.
Now. with all its advantages and as-
sets such as climate scenery fish-
ing hunting good roads and me-
dicinal waters he said the commun-
ity Is In an enviable position to at-
tract and bold tourists. He touch-
ed on the fact that San Antonio is
a good summer resort also referring
to the number of roof gardens bath-
ing facilities and other features.
School "an Talks.
Charles J. Meek the new super-
intendent of schools made a short
talk in which he endorsed the ad-
vertising Idea. He said it had been
used successfully In the Northwest
where he came from.
L. J. Hart laid down the proposi-
tion that in advertising San An-
tonio is not sailing an uncharted sea.
He said the city has been capitalized
by the bonds with which municipal
improvements hate been made and
that the time has arrived to make
the bonds begin to pay dividends.
E J Altgelt said it was a well-
established fact that advertising
pays. But. he said. advertising
should be along the right line. He
criticised the practice of letting it
be known that San Antonio is sup-
plying hundreds of Mexicans with
free milk. He said the humanitarian
work should be carried on but con-
tended that the news should not be
heralded broadcast. The same holds
true he said of the activities of the
Purity League.

DAIRYMEN GIVE $5O
Take Out Fire Memberships in Xante '
of Their Association
One of the subscriptions made to
the 'Thousand Club” at the public
meeting Thursday night was that of
the Bexar County-Dairymen s As-
sociation. It was for $5O. which
means five memberships at $lO each. |
The action of the dairymen's or-
ganization in joining the movement
to advertise the city aroused favor-
able comment and It has been
suggested that other clubs and as-
sociations might follow the example.
The publicity campaign is calculated
to benefit all' citizens and interests
directly or indirectly.
