THE BOOSTER TRIPi Committee of Arrangements j * Lining Up Business For Trip to Rentbert . Attention is directed to the long list of up-to-date business and pro fessional concerns published in tp ! day's Daily Item who have agreed to have a car and a representative in the Booster Trip on Wednesday,; August ?ih. The committees from the ToUng Men's Business League and Chamber of Commerce are anxious to secure for ^publication the names of-every firm or individ ual who will furnish a car and a representative. It is important that it be known at the earliest possible moment ap proximately how many Sumter people will be at Rembert in or-, der that the ladies will have some idea of how many ot prepare din- j ner for. Those whose names do not appear in today's published list are requested to notify Mr. .T. J. Brenhan of the Young Men's Business League' Committee, Phene^No. 55, or E. I.

The , committees suggest that every business concern use a reg ular booster's sign which has print jed on them the words "Sell, buy, I bank in S?mter," but the commit j tees approves of decorated cars :and''floats.'. The committees, how fever, "takes the liberty of suggest ing without undertaking to dictate to any one that the promiseious distribution of hand bills and dod gers for individual "advertising will detract from the dignity of the oc casion, and'if every one throws out hundreds of these dodgers or hand bihs, there will, lie so many thous ands' oX these that no firm will de rive m?ch benefit because the people will hot read all of these dodgers and we will simply be un necessarily littering up the lawns and streets of our hosts and hos tesses at Rembert. .
