TH BUSINESS BANQUET II THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS "Get-Together" Affair Iutt Night a Decided Success Short Business Session Followed by Banquer Spirit of Optimism Prevalent Throughout Membership Rich mood Wants Our Support for Re gional Reserve BankMany Ini proniptu Addresses. If the. spirit of optimism and de termination which was evidenced on all sides at the first annual business meeting and banquet of the Gastonla Chamber of Commerce, held last night in the armory of Company n in the new Craig building, is an earnest of the attitude the members of that organization intend to main tain the year round and there is no reason to believe that it will be oth erwise it would be a venturesome prophet indeed who would attempt to predict what large thinks me ru ture holds for Gaslonia. There were present about 80 of the 150 members. President T. L. Craig called the house to order anu stated that any business that needed attention would be disuosed of llrsr.. Mr. J. M. Holland was asked to act as temporary secretary and read the minutes of the last business meet ing which were approved. Presi dent Craig then read a telegram from the Richmond, Va., Chamber of Commerce asking that 'the Gasto nla Chamber meet a delegation from their organization here next Monday morning for the purpose of discuss ing the matter of the location of one of the Federal regional reserve banks. Richmond js making an ef fort to get one of these banks and a committee from the Chamber or Commerce of that city is now mak ing a tour of North Carolina for tne purpose of getting endorsements from bankers and business organi zations. A motion was made and carried that the matter be left in the hands of the officers of the cnamDer and the executive committee, witn power to act. Quite a little discus sion followed. Mr. J. I.ee Robinson, Mr. A. G. Myers. Mr. M. A. Carpen ter, bankers, and several others fa vored Richmond. Rev. W. C. Bar rett was opposed to endorsing Rich mond on the ground that it and sev eral other Virginia cities had given North Carolina a raw deal in the matter of fighting us In our efforts to secure just freight rates. Fol lowing the discussion the motion to leave the matter with the officers and executive committee prevailed. The unanimous opinion of the banK ers present was that it would be much more advantageous to Gasto 'nla to have this regional bank ir. Rlchmfcnd than In Atlanta. Rev. V. C. Barrett suggested that the chamber needed two or thrse more standing committees, on edu cation, religion and sanitation. Sev eral others during the course or the evening expressed the same opinion, but no action was taken with regard to it. At the conclusion of the business session Dr. D. A. Garrison as toast master took charge of the affair and managed It till the close In a roest happy and admirable manner. He called on representatives of the va- rions business and industrial Inter ests of the city and there were many responses, all in a snappy and Im pressive vein. All the sneakers were unanimous In their belief that the organization of the Chamber of Commerce Is one of the biggest and best things that Gastonia has ever done and presages sreat things for the future. It was also unamiously agreed that, in order for the organization to accom plish the most for the town, it must have the undivided and active sup port of the entire membership. Among those who responded to calls from the toasmaster were A. M. Dixon. J. S. Vray, IT. F. Glenn, T. C. Quickie, R. B. Bablngton, A. C. Jones, C. B. Armstrong. T. L. Craie. A. E. Woltz, Geo. R.
