Commercial Gab Secures Mr.
Banickman.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Commercial Ciub held Mon-
day afternoon it was decided to
employ Mr.* W. C. Barrickman
of Ft. Worth as secretary of the
Club at a salary of $150 per
month. Mpnday night this ac-
tion was ratified at a mass meeting
of club members and Secretary
Yates was instructed to wire Mr.
Barrickman of the Club’s action.
It is expected that Mr. Barrick-:
man will arrive here January 1st;
The mass meeting was a regu-
lar love feast, so to speak, and
while the attendance was not as
large as had been expected, what
was lacking in numbers was made
up ip enthusiasm of those who
did come out. ^ Speeches were
made by R. B. Slight, J. L.
Crawford, F. E. Gillett, H. S.
Wigle, J. D.v Jackson, J. A.
Hardv and W. J. Yates. These
gentlemen discussed in detail the
many advantages and opportuni-
ties that Alpine offers to the in-
vestor and all were unanimous in
the opinion that if the people will
stand together arid each man take
his part of the burden, that much
for the future greatness of Alpine
can be accomplished during the
year 1911. >
While the Club has mapped
out no official schedule for Mr.
Barrickman’s work during the
coming year, it is not inoppor-
tune to say that Alpine expects to
secure the Pecos Southern, in ad-
dition to the Orient railroad, a
$100,000 hotel, a division point
of the G., H. & S. A., an arte-
sian well and 6ther enterprises
that are now within our grasp.
Later.—-Since the above was
put in type, Mr. Barrickman has
been heard from and will arrive
in Alpine by Jan. I, 1911.
Wholesale House For Alpine
For sometime there has been a
rumor to the effect that the Tay-
lor Commission Co., of Del Rio
would put in a branch of their
store at this place. This rumor
was confirmed this week by Mr.
Taylor who was here last week.
He looked over the situation
and we upderstamj, secured an
option on a building. This is in-
deed good news for it means not
only an addition to the business
world but also an addition to Al-
pine’s fast increasing population
and in addition to the above,
will enable local merchants to save
frieghton their purchases.
