Reading Plan Restricts Advertising by Visiting Officials
The Scranton board of trade adopts a rule requiring itinerant governors to hold certificates from the board secretary showing agent commission and details before advertising. Reading and eastern Pennsylvania follow, with Wilkes-Barre committee considering the plan. Rev CC A Killie from Bhantung China lectures tonight in Second Presbyterian Church in Chinese costume, with stereopticon photos and singing. The weather is disagreeable but a large YWCA audience attended a concert directed by George Carr with many soloists, duets, and instrumental pieces. A rehearsal for Home for the Friendless is set tonight at Powell's music store and the Old Folks concert diagram opens at YMC A. tickets are 50 cents, with a Jan 21 concert date and expected rush for seats.
