C Chamber of Commerce Express Weir Appreciation To An Those Who Helped in Any Way to Wake The Expo sJtion at Kiaston Such a Great Success, and Was the Host Ever Given; "i**' ^ The Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce wishes to express to the people of Eastern Carolina its sincere appreciation for the wonderful sup port that was given by the people of this good section in putting on the Second Annual Eastern Carolina Ex position in Kmston, April 7-12, 1924. The co-operation has never been sur passed anywhere in the world and the success of the whole Exposition, al though many seeming difficulties came up, is due to the wonderful support given by the people of this section. We especially wish to thank the good people of Jones, 'Greene, Pitt, Edge combe, Halifax, Bertie, Pender, Dup lin, Sampson, Johnston, Lenoir and Wayne counties for their support in the Pageant. These dozen counties made possible the most unique per formance ever put over in this coun try, so far as we have been able to ascertain. When 1,000 people, from a dosen counties, will come together and stage a Pageant like the one put on in Kinston, Friday night, April 12, some of them coming as far as eighty miles, you must admit this is real support. This is what was done. The rain did not keep a single county from showing up and carrying out its part in the great Pageant. We cannot ex press'too strongly our appreciation for this support and we stand ready to aid in further pushing Eastern Carolina in any way we possibly "an.
