Cruickshank, ‘at the annual meeting of the chamber, held Friday evening in Buckingham Memorial.

Report Of Past Year. The enthusiastic gathering was call~ ed to order about 8 o'clock by Presi- dent Cruickshank and the minutes of ‘the previous meeting were read by Secretary . C.. W. Pearson. President report on the year's Members: At the commencement of the Cham- ‘ber of Commerce vear just now fin- ishing, in the face of the activities which’ even at that time could easily be foreseen, I felt a great reluctance about assuming the honors of an of- fice (on account of business responst- bilities which prohibited my getting away as much. as I felt such an office required), the greater part of - the work of which would of necessity have to be performed by my fellow officers | and directors. As you gentlemen can recall in so many past instances, private reluc- ance “cuts no ice” }in 20th century language) in the Norwich Chamber of Commerce, it is the duty of each member to perform to the extent of his ability every obligation he is ap- pointed to, within the needs of the association. Anticipating to- a small extent the report .of our secretary, it is with pleasure that I mention at this time same of the activities of the. year My pleasure is still with me, as it is with you past presidents, of rep- resenting our local in the state cham- ber, of standing shoulder to shoulder with men that represent the red blood in 40 such bodies as “ours in. this commonwealth of Connecticut, of hav- ing a voice in shaping the policies for 20th century, present-day use, that show on their very face that they are above any personal, sectional, or political faction. . Before coming to local topics I wish to call your attention to one matter of interest to every business man and also ‘every honest man as well. Six years ago our local attempted its first effort in getting a better “Collection Bill,” so-called, passed. We were unsuccessful in' two legislatures but neither lost heart nor changed our secretary, who grew more forecful with each defeat. Pursuant to our orders a year ago, our secretary on the floor of the con- vention hall swept all opposition be- fore him until the state association voted to back the effort of getting the bill through the legislature, reducing the amount of weekly wage exempt from attachment from $25 to” $15, which was finally enacted into a law ‘last May by a large majority of votes. It is a gratification to watch the benefits of cooperation when we look back a vear ago to the Farm Bureau of' our county which was then less than a year old and compare the pres- ent, its second year, with its in- creased “get-to-gether” spirit mnow apparent through the granges, county fairs, corn fairs, canning demonstra- tions, boys’ and girls’ clubs, cow test- ing associations, farm surveys, etc., etc., under the leavening ‘work of the county agent and his -assistants. ‘Who can prophesy what benefits the coming yvear may See accomplished with continuing interest of the Cham- ber of Commerce ‘and New London County Improvement League - -~ Returning to strictly local interests, {circumstance to a president, than be- | contribut#1 to the support .or after the winter's grind, the ‘unbend- ing at the Bastern Comnecticut ban- auet, etc.,’ it did. not take long. to rally the forces ito active. interest on a work that'had been -already .under- taken in nearly every other city'in our ::a-te. a Bullding and 'Loan associa- Eagdlasl Y ; In thig also no one dared to prophe- sy. in- advance what favor it might meet with. There were some indeed, if you re- member, who prophesied its failure, but our farm friends tell us that “all signs fail in a dry time,” and ‘maybe that will be given as an excuse for the failure of their prophecy, for certain it is, that the Norwich Building and Loan associaation is an _accomplished fact and is now nearing the com- mencement of its second .period. with ag interested, faithful and efficient of- ficers as any such association. in our stdte. » r I trust it will not be amiss in a message of this kind to entreat every member present who has not done so to lock into the soundness of this gs- sociation for investment. of savin and the preparation for future,.loans for building purposes and that you may recommend it to your acquaintances. After the summer outing and va- cation period was past and before the fush of receiving Christmas merchan- dise, there remained a chance for just one more centralized effort for the benefit of 014 Norwich. - You are all in perfect remembrance of the need that was presented to us at that time and of the Norwich Housing campaign — of the $40,000 pledged to make a start' toward the solution of the housing problem and our conft- derice although in its very nature, its early development ‘cannot be given broadcast publicity that can be pub- before®| public, we have confidence from the honesty and experience of the men that they are now working out the = TR R Heretofore a_customer entered a drug store and asked for a bottle of - RADWAY'S READY RELIEF- Bither the buver-had- the price for a 50c. bottle or-he must submit to the scheme to the benefit of the investors g_else that he didn’ T, or and a perm;lent asset to our city's]else Mr. Druggist lost the sale. growth.
