(Gulfport Commercial Union) The new 'standing committees of tne Gulfport Commercial Union are taking up in earnest the subjects belonging to these department and it is safe to predict that the work of the Commercial Union through these committees will surpass any previous reo-ords of the accomplishments of this organization The new executive committee held a meeting and reviewed In detail what was considered necessary to tbe betterment of the business conditions of our city and have put on foot several movements which will prove of ines-tlmablevalue to the Gulfport Commercial Union and necessarily to tbe public at large The printing and advertising committee unaer Driver as chairman he'd one very Important meeting the result of which was the advertising feature and the information bureau at tbe Fair "1 his was a move absolutely new and unique in its character and so far-reaching in Its effect that inquiries are being received for information from nearly all of the! states in tbe Union It is safe to say that tbls work Inaugurated by the printing and advertising committee will become a permanent feature of all fairs held In the future Other extensive plans of advertising have been considered by this committee but have not been consummated due to the handicap of not having suf-ficint funds with which to carry on this work but in tbls connection tbe finance committee under Ket-lier as chairmen held a meeting last I evening and considering tbe thoroughness with which every detail of raising additional funds was discussed It is safe to say that Mr Kelller and his committee will soon take such hold of the present depleted condition of the exchequer of this organization as will relieve the present financial condition ana provide funds which will en-Me these various bureaus or committees to properly prosecute the work which Is first essential and which la So necessary to the material advancement of business conditions The manufacturing committee Bouslog chairman held a very enthusiastic meeting yesterday afternoon and considered propositions from certain different parties desiring to locate factories in Gulfport These are all under Investigation and we believe' some of them if not all will materialize Hale who is a mem- ber of tbls committee and represent- lng Mr Jones stated that Gulfport la considered an admirable location for a sugar cane refinery and as this sub-i ject had been previously discussed by Mr Jones and Mr Simpson the manufacturing committee was requested by Mr Haleto work in connection witn these gentlemen in an endeavor to secure for Gulfport an Industry of this character The future outlook for business for manufacturing agricultural and railroad development for Gulfport and this section has never before assumed such a brilliant aspect' and tne same prophet who said nearly a year ago in the most positive tones possible are going to have a Fair and when I say we are going to have a Fair I mean one that is a has
