^ Local merchants are being in
vited to meet at the town hall
courtroom Monday, February 19,
rt 7:30 p. m., for the formal or
ganization of a Southern Pines
Merchants Council.
The Council is proposed as a
means of building business vol
ume, improving service to custo
mers and keeping in town trade
that is now, merchants believe,
going elsewhere.
Preliminary organization of the
council began last fall when, at
the suggestion of Mayor John S.
Kuggles, a group of merchants
met with the Southern Pines In
dustrial Committee of which
Judge W. Harry Ftrllenwider had
then been named chairman. The
mayor said then that retail busi
ness, as well as industry, has an
important part to play in devel
opment of the community and
that a merchants group, operat
ing in coperation with the Indus
trial Committee, could prove val
uable to the town.
W. S. Thomasson was appoint
ed by the Industrial Committee
as temporary chairman of the
Council, with Stanley Austin as
secretary. Named to the tempor
ary steering committee were
Gene Blackwelder, E. Earl Hub
bard, Joe Kimball, A1 Levy, Jim
Ritchie and J. H. Carter, Jr.
Mr. Thomasson said this week
that it was thought best to get
through the holiday season and
into the new year, before moves
were made toward permanent or
ganization.
Information sheets about the
project were being distributed to
local merchants and professional
people this week.
A nine-member board of direc
tors, to be chosen from a variety
of categories of lobal business, is
proposed for the new organiza
tion. The suggestions and interest
of all local merchants are solic
ited.
