pused in this campaign, wit ti the
bureau farm of organization, 'three. 1
year plan, .tad all.
There is really a new spirit born in
t;oderich. Last night's meeting was
in fact a turning- point in the !•,guar
history.
Now, let us niaake the campaign a
hundred per cent. ..uccess, and that
can bP d•.ine if every man and woman
aha an afford the dues will join now.
\ll together for Goderich, Huron's
144.1den mate.
tel together for a.oderich.
All for one and ..ne for ail for a
r.reater 1 .Trish.
The man art+, waits now "to see
now it xuines ..tit" is a Tacker. He's
nut doing his bit.
Let us strike while the iron is hot.
The advertising that Goderich has re-
ceiweal already from this movement
could not haw a been purchased for
thousands of dollars. :Sow is our
chance to snake a 'en strike. Let us
hake such a successful Board of Trade 1
that the world will beat a path to
our doors to 'see how we operate so
successfully.
The London, Hamilton, Guelph,
and Stratford representatives at the
dinner last night were amazed at the -
great showing Goderich is making in
this campaign. Goderich in fact Is
taking the lead in Canada in putting it-
self on a business basis, and all the
Dominion will look to Goderich if we'll
just go ahead now, and make it a 100
per rent. eampaign.
That was sure a wonderful meetitic
at the Bedford hotel. It was a "Great-
er Goderich" in every sense of the
'word, and every citizen was proud of
the spirit of enthusiasm and deter-
mination shown. The speaking was
of a high order. There was no elo-
quence of generalities nut there was an
eloquence of facts. Wally one doubt-
ed the power of organized effort, that
meeting last night should has., quickly
dissipated that doubt.
The evidence presented by the out
of town speakers concerning their
aehievemeiits through live -wire boards
of trade was conclusive. Especially
impressive was that or Mr. J. W.
Lyon, of Guelph, who told of the suc-
cess in that town in locating indust-
ries. His description of the work of
the Chamber of Cun.,nercu at Batas+ ia.
