San Antonio Exhibits to Aid Rural Schools by Club Plan
San Antonio manufacturers will assemble and ship made in San Antonio products to every rural school in Bexar county and beyond. A special committee led by H N Timolat and including Walter Steves and Paul Dreiss will collect displays and place them in schools to promote local goods. The Manufacturers Club opposed closing railroad freight depots at 430 P M as a hardship for merchants and will study freight rate changes by river navigation. The group will also aid Rotarians in planning military day on October 4 and is listing many officers and members at the meeting.
