The initial banquet of the Amarlllo

proved a real and hearty success
woven and blended pleasingly about
a dinner of excellent quality for

their corps of assistants received
utlanlmous vote of thanks.
Following a brief talk of welcome
and a setting forth of the alma
and objects of the Amarlllo exchange

who stxted that at present the affil-
iation consists of twenty-three firms
and thirty-three members al! of

an ffert to Insure nanity and fill

much and vet at once to thj pro-
dintion of the actual Creator Ama-

er of the rvrrosaiens of Mr Costello
that raiirl t the house. "Social ad-
vantage is perhaps the strongest sin-
vle force In city buibiinr" wss an-
other of the strone expressions of
the speaker. He referred to tho
worth of the rhurehen and educa-
tional erterprises In a most pleas-
ing manner. To promote any and
every legitimate enterprise tnat la
for the rood of Amarlllo and tha
Panhandle countrv was declared one
the basic and greatest principle est
the affillstlon represented Another
declaration bv Mr. Costello was that
the realty men are the real founder
of every eit. and without them little
may be accomplished ot worth. This
txlk was closed with a plea for "co-
operation that ro-operatlon that
doesn't slwivs talk but always
works and that to a purpose."

"Hare we ab.iut lost the Amarlllo
iplrlt?" was a question hurled by tho
speaker at the gathering. "The Am-
arlllo spirit waa and is the booster
spirit- that ahloh formerly mad na

and It Into us again."
Mr Turner made a plea for tha
giving of bonuso to worthy enter-
prises for the building of a rsllroad
