The probability that a permanent organization will be formed was the outcome of the meeting in the Board of Trade rooms on Friday morning at 10 o’clock at which reports were made upon the last Merchants’ week held here, the week from the 23rd to the 30th “of - OctoBer. Chairman John M. Lee of the Merchants’ week organiza- tion committee was: empowered to name a committee of three to inves- tigate the constitution and by-laws of the Norwich Chamber of Commerce with a view to'learning whether there ‘was not a section of the chamber un- der which the Merchants’ week or- ganization might be included. The committee appointed is Richard Lewis, Albert Boardman and Kroaig: | ey are to report at a future meet- ing to be called by the chairman. It was the prevailing sentiment at the meeting that there should be another Doilar day this winter and that other Stop Coughing few doses of the time-tested Hale’s Honey 8 Of Horehound and Tar effective, relief. and is pleasant to the taste. Gone’ m Merchants’ weeks should be held in the future. This action by the meeting came after reports had been made of the last Merchants’ week includifig a re- sume by Chairman John M. Lee and a report from Secretary Leo Kronig. Resume of Week. In covering what had been done in the last Merchants' week, Chairman Lee spoke as follows: Before this meeting is closed I think it will be helpful to future movements of this kind to briefly review the result of our co-operative efforts to promote 2 successful Merchants’ week. It may be that the occasion did not come up to the expectations of those of us who Wwere most optimistic; nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the movement was productive of some good, in arous- ing an interest in Norwich stores and the merchandise they have to offer to the public. We are too apt to estimate the value of any movement of this character by the immediate results which accrue, rather than by the accumulative ben- efits to be derived from a rightly con- ducted campaign, to establish in the minds of the people, that Norwich is the logical trading center, for all east- ern Connecticut and western Rhode Island, and this fact is true, not only use of its accessibility by trolley and steam railway, but because of the reliability of-its mercantile establish- ments and the high standard of the merchandise which they carry. There are several things which go to detx-mme the natural trading point for any\given territory, and one of the chiet factors is the transportation fa- cilities. The large number of trolley lines that traverse eastern Connecti- cut and western Rhode Island find a natural center in Norwich and as a t majority of the people living in the maller communities must, of ne- cessity, seek other markets to.do most of their trading, travel by troiley of- fers a convenlent and ecoucmical mode of transportation, thereby making the trolley center of any given territory the logical market place for the peo- ple residing in that section. Another factor which contributes largely to the trading advantages which any community can offer, and it is a feature which we should endeavor to impress upon the mind of the trad- ing public, is the accessibility of Nor- wich to the great distributing centers of the country. Here, again, is where this community reaps the advantage of locality. he Hub of New England” and all the great manufac- turing concerns of that section, as well as many from other parts of the country, use it as a distributing point for their products. New York is the metropolis of the United States. Tt is the port through which nearly all the imports of the country find an entry, and a market in which every domestic manufacturer of any standing must show his wares. Norwich is situated about midway between these two _great wholesale ets. It is thereby enabled to keep in ®lose touch with all the latest style ndencies, whether introduced from some foreign land or developed in our own country; and on account of the nearness of New York and Boston, the merchants of orwich are able to make frequent visits to both cities in search of the newest and best mer- chandise in every line. Moreover, the freight on commodities, which is an important item of expense, is mini- mized in this instance by the short haul and the splendid transportation facilities, by rail and water, which Norwich enjoys. Norwich Prices Right. If there were no other reasons than those already enumerated, it would seem that Norwich occupied a most advantageous position as a market place. But there is still another, and 2 more convincing argument why Nor- wich is better able to serve the mer- (Continued on Page Thirtesn) BIG K. OF C. CLASS.
