Business And Professional Men United In Promotion Activities To give Farmvi lie business firms an avenue for a unified program and to provide the town of Farmville with an added assurance of permanent progress, a group of forward looking citizens met four years ago and formed an organization of the business and professional men which marked a decided step in the direction of future development for the town. This organization is called the Farmville Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association. Since its organization, with George W. Davis as president, the Chamber has moved along rapidly and satisfactorily, having been fortunate in the leadership of F&rmville's most active business men. This year J. 0. Pollard, who ie interested in the promotion of any worthwhile movement for the betterment of the town heads the organization and an advance in its activities is indicated. The unusual conditions and difficulties, prevailing in the business world, since the organization of the business heads here, have been met and dealt with collectively, the progress of the community being the dominant note of every meeting and the fostering of a deeper .sense of civic responsibility its main objective. This has been accomplished to a gratifying extent and a fine spirit of pride and cooperation in this endeavor is being evidenced by the members. During the past year the organization under the leadership of J. O. Pollard, well known business man and junior partner of Pollard Auto Company, has played a leading role in a town program designed for progress, the results of which have been most gratifying. The Chamber promoted a number of successful trade events, the outstanding one of which was Dollar Day. Other officers reelected at the annual election are; Robert D. Rouse, vice president and John B. Lewis, secretary and treasurer. Directors are; T. E. Joyner, L. E. Walston, W. H. Fisher, J. W. Munden, R. H. Knott and Dr. J. M. Mewborn. The organization prints and distributes to its members a weekly bulletin of credit transactions in Pitt and Greene counties, which _ has proved to be a valuable reference she* for the merchants. It regulates the business hours, sets u * Bureau of laformatiom, makes decisions as to holiday closing, investigates Industrial proposals and assists new people in getting located and at times in finding Jobs for dtisens who are unetaploywL The Association in its progressive program, „ undertakes to present Farmville to the world aa a town etf opportunity with emphasis placed on the essential resources sand advantages, which would attract Industries and prospective residents. As a continuation of its publicity and advertising campaign, and as concrete evidence of its interest and pride in the Farmville Tobacco Market, the Chamber cooperated in the issuance of this the Market Edition, and directed that a special space, be allotted to it for a timely m&ssg? to the farmers of this section of the State. TTiis valuable message will be found in these pages. Professional activities of recent months have also included; presentation of radio programs; the raising of an advertising fund for ti e market m conjunction with the warehousemen; effort to encourage a tr^de-at-home policy. Offices of the Chamber of Commerce are in the Pitt County Insurance Agency building, and are open not only to Farmville citizens but visitors from other towns as well, who will always find the efficient and genial secretary interested and anxious to be of service and to offer the cooperation of the organization in providing united action by all business and professional men here in any movement that tends towards the promotion of the town, county and state. v.
