We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

REPORT OF BUSINESS RELATIONS COMMITTEE YOUR Committee has sent out nearly 200 letters, to approximately 90 of the leading organizations of the country, who are directly or indirectly benefited by the work of our Society. In addition to our letters, Mr. Will H. Hays addressed individually each member of his organization. Up to the present time, only 17 organizations have responded to our appeal. These have subscribed to a total of 128 annual subscriptions, and one of the firms sent a check for $100.00 in cash, without desiring a consideration therefore. This makes a total of $1,380.00 thus far subscribed. It is our hope and expectation that there will be some further responses before we consider the appeal concluded. It is obvious from the above that the net returns from the efforts of your Committee will be considerebly in excess of the returns recently received from advertising in the Transactions. Respectfully submitted, Business Relations Committee WiLLARD B. Cook, Chairman 116
