Sales Day . Advertising. The Monett Commercial Club held a very enthusiastic meeting Tuesday evening at the city hall, many citi zens not now members of the club be ing present. Subjects considered were a new plan for sales day adver tising and the proposition of the con crete highway location, which Mo nett expects to secure through this place. R. E. Callaway, president of the club presided,, The first discussion was , on the, subject of sales day. A new plan was submitted by the president In which the outside pages of the sales sheet be used for advertising the city of Monett. The two inside pages are to be divided into forty Inch spaces, every space the same size. The idea is to make it a cooperative community sheet, changing from the old plan of advertising wherein certain adver tisers featured their own line, rather than a cooperative plan. The fourth ' or back Pa win be used exclusively I fr advertising Monett and for the purpose of furnishing information in regard to subjects of community interest. The club hopes to secure articles on horticulture and agricul ture, also educational matters. , . The idea of the sales sheet for the specific purpose of offering a real bargain and space to be allotted to ! each advertiser will be carried out. I' the advertising of one merchant j conflicts with that of another, changes will be made before the ad vertising reaches the sales sheet, to conform to the purpose of the sheet. It was the unanimous opinion of all present, as well as of all members of the club, that the new plan is a bet ter one than the one now in use. In connection with the sales day plan, four committees were appointed to canvas the section surrounding Mo nett in each direction, with a view of securing articles for the auction sale. The club members are much en couraged by the attendance N of the ' mee'm? and 'he spirit of cooperation maniresteo. xne oniy nope 01 suc cess on the sales day or any other public question is through the co operation of all concerned. After disposing of the sales plan Mr. Chapel!, representative of the club in the road meeting at Spring- li'oM 'miva a orroaf rtanl tY pnrnnr- agement in regard to what might be expected by Monett in the way of supporu In securing a coDcreteimgh- way. 1 . . The club is working on this propo sition on definite plans, securing in formation to place before the high way commission. -They feel confident that after the'meeting on. Thursday. night with A. C. McKibben that they . will make rapid progress. It is hoped that every Monett citi zen who is interested in this highway be present at the meeting at the Gem theatre Thursday night to meet Mr. McKibben, who represents the. Capital City Highway. The Monett State Highway Associ ation is a department of the Monett Commercial club and if any citizen of Monett is not a member of one or the other, it is hoped that he will enroll before the meeting Thursday night, in order that Mr. McKibben may mate a favorable report on the community interest in this highway. The club ought to have a member ship to report to Mr. McKibben that would do ua credit. , . If we can only report a membership of 50 or 75 on this big proposition, it will put us in an unfavorable light. Let every citizen who has not .joined, get ir. line so that we may have a membership of 500 by tomorrow night Mr. and Mrs. Carl Counts: visited Mules Wanted .
