IN WHICH THIS PAPER NOMINATES
H. A. PLUMMER FOR RE-ELECTION
With the election of new officials
for the Chamber of Commerce at
hand, the question naturally arises
as to the best man to head the organ
ization durinj; 1928. The Brevard
News is not given to making ad
%'ance suggestions as the men need
ed to guide the old ships that are
to bring in the cargoes some day,
but this is one time we simply must
break over the traces and make a
suggestion.
We here and now nominate for
another term that old war horse of
public affairs? Henry A. Plummer.
Mr. Plummer is the present presi
dent, and he has worked and labored
in season and out, day and night,
during the past year until it seems
p. cruelty to a friend to even sug
gest his taking the reigns of govern
ment for another year. We are
fullv aware of the sacrifices he has
made during the year 1927, and
much as we love him personally, we
nominate him for another year's
work and labor.
President Plummer has had the
responsibility of ihe office during
the most trying year in the town's
history. He took up the reins just
after the wild west riders of real
estate fame threw them down, and
he gave to Brevard more than its
share of summer tourists and sum
mer business. When there was no
money in the treasury with which to
pay bills, Mr. Pluiiimer left his
place of business and went out, on
foot ? on both feet, for that matter
? and collected the necessary coin.
When there was a chance of landing
a factory here, Mr. Plummer forgot
he had a store, and spent his time
with prospective manufacturers.
Whan a tourist was. not satisfied with
his or her boarding place, Mr.
Plummer went out with them and
found a place that would suit them,
and sent them away at the close of
the season bragging on Brevard.
Everybody knows that 1928 is
going to be a much happier, more
prosperous and finer year than was
this old nightmare just closing.
Business men of Brevard are heart
ily ashamed that they have permit
ted Mr. Plummer to have to do all
the work he has done during 1927,
and it is already determined that the
next president of the Chamber of
Commerce will have more loyal and
intelligent support than the presi
dent whose term is now expiring.
So if there is to be any more con
genial work in the office, if there is
to be a real pleasure and a genuine
joy in the presidency, surely it be
longs to Henry Plummer.
Therefore we nominate Henry A.
Plummer for president of the Cham
ber of Commerce during 1928.
