CALLED ON THE CARPET
BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Latter Body is Somewhat Thin Skinned at Editorial Com
ment of Daily Sentinel on Entertainment of St.
Joseph Visitors—Failing to Patrontze Home
Industries in Sending out tor Printing
“Grand Junction, Colo.,
“June 20. 1008.
“Hon. I. N. Bunting,
“Dear Sir:
“At a regular meeting of the
Board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce held last evening, your
editorials of yesterday were given
consideration.
“In the first one you say, ‘The
Chamber of Commerce ought to be
able to offer some decent excuse why
it did not entertain the distinguished <
body of visitors which was present a »
week or more ago from St. Joseph I
and other Missouri cities. Perhaps .
the crowd was sized up as presenting <
little prospect of being possible pur
chasers of Grand valley realty and »
they were given the go-by.’
“hi the second you say. 'The .!
Chamber of Commerce will undoubt- i
edly send out for its printing for the t
Fourth of July celebration and for
the fireworks to be used. The Cham- i
her of Commerce preaches the doc- ’
trine of patronizing home merchants i
but does not practice it.’
“Bv a unanimous vote of the ten '
members present, the undersigned
were instructed to submit to you the i
following statement and ask that you
give this the same degree of public ity
given to your criticisms. <
"The body of distinguished vis
itors front St. Joseph was made up of i
wholesale merchants, together with '
their traveling salesmen representing
this territory. Their mission was to t
conte in contact with the ‘trade.’ the
retail merchants. They paid $100
per day for the train and paid for <
their own entertainment. They made
their own schedule and planned to
cover the territory in the least pos- <
slble time, allowing at each stop only
so much time as was considered
absolutely necessary to do the work
outlined. The schedule allowed two
hours in Grand Junction. They must
cat their dinner, which was orde'd
at the time the schedule was issued,,
land visit the ‘trade.’ It was under-’
| stood that the traveling salesmen
j would direct their movements while
i lu the city.
' “The officials of the Chambet* of
| Commerce when they first learned j
| about the body comi.ig. understood
that the D. & It. G. Ry. people had
arranged the trip and thought it
strange? that the Chamber of Com
merce had not been advised, for In
such matters the railroad officials
have always worked with this body.
; and there came at once the* impres
sion that there was some good reason
why notice had not been sent direct.
However, to make :re that no mis
take he made in the matter. the
question was taken ’» Monday fore
noon with local i presentatives of
the* railroad company. The facts
above* stated were learned and it was
also learned that the parties had re
peatedly expressed themselves as
wanting no entertainment, not even
wanting to be waited upon by com
mittees or delegations, except per
haps in places whe . they spent the
nights. The local officials will verify
the foregoing state! rts.
“In regard to t * second article
will say that the Chamber of Com
1 nierce as an organization has no part
whatever in the Fourth of July
arrangements, but the fact that the*
four local papers are represented on
the committee on advertising is due
to tlu* suggestion made by an active
member of this organization.
“In the matter of letting the con
tract for printing the advertising
book to outside parties, to which fre
quent reference has oeen* made, the*
I directors desire only to advise those
whose money they are investing, that
the bid of I. N. Bunting on the job
was $K»>4.75 and that of the Carsou
llarper Co. of Denver was $t» 1 5.00.

Charles E. Cherrington, President.
D. W. Aupperle. Secretary.
Gentlemen;—lt affords me much
pleasure to give space to your com
munication, addressed to me person
ally. hearing date of June 20. 1908. J
Tht same has reference to some edi- ■
torial comment made by me in The \
Dally Sentinel regarding the action •
of your body in failing to afford any j
•entertainment to the distinguished •
body of visitors from St. Joseph, J
Mo., and other points, which visited •
our city on June 15. J
You seem to find considerable !
comfort in the statement made by
the local officials of the Denver &
Rio Grande road that these gentle- |
men did not desire any entertain- !
ment whatever. <
Another point of your rather weak !
defense was that these gentlemen 1
were wholesale merchants in com- !
pany with their traveling representa- 1
fives, who were anxious to see the !
"trade’’ in this city alone.
Regarding these two points, I have \
the testimony of many other citizens
with whom these gentlemen con- |
versed that they were considerably
chagrined that no attention had been |
paid them whatever by the official
organization of this city the Cham
ber of Commerce —to whom this duty
belonged. They did not ask or an
ticipate any entertainment whatever:
but they did desire the courtesy us
ual from one commercial body to an
other.
Nor is the statement true that you \
make, that this distinguished body <
of visitors was made up of wholesale \
merchants and their traveling sales
men. There were at leas, two of
ficials of the St. Joseph Commercial
Club. o.ne of the largest and most act
ive commercial clubs or chambers of i
commerce In this country, and there
were several of the best known bank
ers and financial men of the state
of Missouri in the party.
The anticipated visit of this dls- t
tiuguished body of men had been an
nounced three weeks in advance of ‘
their arrival, not only in The Daily '
Sentinel, but in many other state'
papers. <
.-vt every place of their itinerary
the commercial bodies of the respect
ive towns and cities met this distin- •
guished body of visitors with all pos
sible acclaim. Bands and music in
many places greeted the visitors on
their arrival, and drives, receptions
and other entertainment afforded'*
them pleasure to the last minute of
tlieli stay.
At 11 o’clock on the morning of
the arrival of these visitors in this
city President C. E. Cherrington and
Secretary Aupperle were asked by
Mr. Walter Walker, city editor of
The Sentinel, what then* plans of en
tertainment were for the visitors,
and their response was that they
knew little about their coming; had
not been formally invited to enter
tain them, "and would not butt in.”
At 2 p.m. of that day General
Agent Robbins of the Rio Grande!
road was asked in the Union Trust
«v B.inking Company by Mr. Walter
Walker, In the presence of Mr. D. T.
Stone, who repeated the question,
why the Chamber of Commerce had
taken no action in entertainment of
the visitors. Mr. Robbins said that
he didn’t know any reason therefor;
that they ought to know they were
coming, as it had been fully an-1
nouneed.
We think the above fully answers 1
the criticism of our editorial com
ment in this particular instance with
out further comment.
We might say, to fully apprise the;
public and these gentlemen who seem i
so d use upon the matter, that at
Trinidad, Leadville, Salida, Mont
rose, Delta, Telluride, Durango and
Silverton the commercial bodies of
those towns and all the important
towns In northern Colorado did their
utmost to afford the best possible
entertainment. As these men wan
dered about this city, seeking places
of interest, we think our contention
holds good.
It is a part of the history of Grand
Junction’s Chamber of Commerce
that It has not waited to be formally
invited to entertain distingir.slied vis
itors coming to this city, but it has
sought the opportunity to afford such
entertainment wherever it could be
j seen that there was any possible ben
efit to be returned In Advertisement
of our resources.
As to the matter of the charge of
this paper that the Chamber of Com
| merce does not practice what it
preaches when it sends out for print
ed matter, the defense offered is ex
tremely cheap. The bid of The Daily
Sentinel, it is true, was the amount 1
above that of Carson-Harper Com-!
pany of Denver which has been stat- j
ed; but when that bid was received!
Mr. Aupperle stated to Mr. Bunting
that the Carson-Harper Company had :
hid much lower than Its bid of the ;
previous meeting of two weeks be-1
fore, and that there must have been
a mistake in tile estimate of the spe
cifications required.
The Dally Sentinel was lower In !
its bid than the Daily News or any
other Grand Junction publishing
house, and within approximately S6O
of the bid of the Smith-Brooks Com
pany of Denver, If to which freight
was added, would have made the
Smith-Brooks bid the same as that
of The Daily Sentinel.
