Business Men Lose Stomachs At Camps
In Jess Men's Camp at American Lake on September 10, a hundred business men from the Northwest learned the basics of war and how to run a company in wartime. They cooked their own meals, carried gear on eight mile hikes, and reduced stomachs as they gained discipline, equipment, and cooperation for a general command plan. The camp has been a notable success, moving from experimental to practical with men from diverse professions, including merchants, lawyers, doctors, and bankers.
