Six Hundred Cheer New Organi zation at Banquet at Bellevuc Philadelphia's chances or getting the 1917 convention of the World' Salcsmannhlp Congress wero declared to be "one lap bet ter than New York." Ha chief competitor for the honor, by Norval A. Hawkins, sales manager of the Kord Automobile Company and president of the congress In an ad dress before COO members of the local Salesmanship Club In the Itcllcvue last night. Probably without precedent In this city was the shonlng made at tho dinner by this organization, only thirteen daya old Almost every branch of business and Indus try In Philadelphia was reprcacnted. Em ployers, snlea executives and salesmen, ns well as several hundred women. luony of whom are also engaged In selllntf. were there, and It was doubtless the enthusiasm which marked tho entire affair thnt led Mr. Hawklna, who will be one of the com mittee to decide where the convention shall bo held, to express h'msclf In terms so en couraglrg to h.s hearers. Cyrus H K. Curtis and II J. Uerlct de livered addresses calculated to Impress tho Visiting members of the executive commit tee of the World's Salesmanship Congress, who were the guests of" honor, with the force of Philadelphia's claim for the 1917 convention. Hartley J. Doylo, vlco president of tho Philadelphia Salesmanship Club, was toast master. Mr Hawkins dclhered the prin cipal address and made a profound im pression, lie declared salesmanship to be a profession, nnd he made a stirring appeal for the deeldpment of better buslneas through better salesmanship, and the devel opment of better salesmanship through or ganization and exchange of knowledge nnd Ideas. "It Is a pleasure," ho said, "to sit at a banquet and not have a drink nt tho speak ers' table. Ten years ago you couldn't hae pulled off a salesman's banquet any where In this country without everybody feeling the liquor before tho fish forks, and expecting tho flsh to supply the brains." An elaborate plan for the entertainment of the city's visitors, should Philadelphia be selected as the place of tho sa'esmanahlp convention, was announced by Mr. Ilerlet It embraces a Fourth of July celebration; a mobilization of famous military organi zations from every section of the country; the presence of the President of the United States nnd Goernors of tho Thirteen Orig inal States; airship and submarine demon stration on tho Delaware and other Inter esting features. . Mr. Doyle, as toastmaster, presented gold fob to Charles M Wrssels, president of the Philadelphia club, and Albert li Slaltby, second !co president, for obtaining, re spectively, the largest and second largest number of members of tho organization here. Mr. Curtis described Philadelphia's many great attractions, historical and Industrial. to the visiting oiricers of the Congress nnd expressed his earnest hope this city would hae the opportunity of welcoming the progressive salesmen ' of tho world next summer. lluried on Wedding Anniversary' Kred llenni, slTty-elght years old, who died last Tuesday nt the home of his daugh ter .Mrs Trances Krcl, at I7t0 North New. klfl. street, after a short Illness, was burled today on th-i forty-second anniversary of his wedding Serlces will bo held nt the house this afternoon, followed by Interment In tho ttcnmn Lutheran Cmetery.
