The director of the Board of Trade
met at the Court House on Monday
evening:, June 6th and voted in C8 new
members.
Almost every day somebody report
peeing- one of our Manchester road
sign at some distant hotel in Maine,
New Hampshire, New York or some
other state where they were placed.
It is very gratifying to learn that
all the summer hotels and boarding
houses In Manchester have reaaon to
expect a big season's business.
The summer resort business of the
town is a good one, even in off years,
and this year the employment given
on new summer cottages and in other
lines of summer work has kept about
all the permanent labor in town em
ployed. Our neighbors in East Dorset have
complained somewhat nbout our cards
directing traffic by way of Middletown
Springs to Rutland.
Fcrhaps the cards do exaggerate
somewhat the condition of the road
which ia under construction as it is
almost always in passable condition as
required by the contract.
The road to East Dorset is in good
shape and nearly completed.
it Vi next monthly meeting of the
Hoard of Trade on June 13th. James
V Tavlor. Secretary of the Burling
ton Chamber of Commerce and of the
Greater Vermont Association, will be
nregent and talk to the members. Mr.
Tailor is the Vermont propagandist
extraordinary. The "Vermonter" says
of him:
"Taylor loves Vermont He recog
nized at once her tremendous possibil
ities as the peer of all the States of
America, and felt that it was worth
his while to devote so much of his
life, and expend so much of his
dynamic force and genial optimism
toward bringing those possibilities in
to living reality."
Mr. Taylor is the principal promot
er of the "Long Trail" of the Green
Mountains.
her of the Board of Trade
should miss the opportunity to hear
Mr. Taylor.
WHAT IS BOYS' AND
GIRLS' CLl'B WORK?
A system of demonstrating better
methods on the farm and in the home
through the boys and girls.
Doef club work exploit the boys and
girls? No, it helps to develop them
by helping them to do bigper things in
better way.
