Several calls have been made upon us for photographs by other publications and railroad , officials for use in their advertise) I campaigns. The Chamber of Commerce is also BATESVILLE DAILY GUARD fostering a County Fair with ta hope of making it a district fair which we are assured can l>e done i we succeed with our organization and we would recommend that th committee in charge of this proje be ; 'ert end push its organization t completion. Its advertising value the c iinty alone will lx- worth thousands of dollars. There is i good reason why Independence Cm > ty shou'd n t have the very best fair in the whole state. The good roads movement has been backed by this body and Bates ville and its interests should see t it they are completed with the least possible delay for the one reason there is no one thing that increases values or lessens cost of production and marketing more than good roads. They are not a luxury but an asset and necessity and should not be allowed to lag. Through the efforts of your Secre tary we are assured a mattress fac tory will soon be in operation in Batesville, operated by home capi tal. This organization has sto.e squarely behind the city authorities and B >ard of Health for a cleaner better, more sanitary and more beau tiful Batesville and has been of treat assistance to them in many wavs, particularly in elevating the inoral standard and we believe we can sav without successful contradiction there is no town of the size of Batesville in Arkansas or elsewhere with a higher morale than this. The money expended for a page advertisement in the Centennial edi tion of the Arkansas Gazette, we r•- gat'd as a gift to that publication as it has had no advertising value so fai. nnd we remmn •nd that in t? ’ future no foreign advertising space ’• taken in “Special” editions of any kind as the results do not justify the expense. We can get better and greater results in other ways. We recommend a live special com mittee of three or five be appointed to round up all citizens of Batesville who are not now members of the Chamber of Commerce and ”.est them to take one or more ships, as there is no resi. Batesville that is not reapr benefit from the results oft ; ,ors of this organization. We also recommend that com mitteo become more active in lae fu ture 'ecause when any matter is left t< drag it soon dies and is for gotten.
