TO ADVERTISE INDUSTRIES OF SOUTH.
The Industrial Association of the South was or-
ganized last- week at Nashville. Tenn., the object
being to advertise the South and promote that sec-
tion generally. It is planned to raise $500,000 for
publicity work. State directors covering most of
the territory were chosen. The first meeting, at
which definite plans will be made for carrying out
the work proposed, will probably be held at Louis-
ville in a few weeks.
