“Committee named to plan excursion” — Chamber Jobbers and Manufacturers; W. E. Hayman on arrangements committee — San Antonio Light, 22 Feb 1913, page 2

Short business-page item from the San Antonio Light for Saturday, 22 February 1913 (page 2): the Jobbers and Manufacturers’ division of the Chamber of Commerce names an arrangements committee for an impending trade excursion (two–three weeks out), with possible routes via the San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf line or west of San Antonio on the Southern Pacific. W. E. Hayman appears among the committee—another pre-merger print tie for his wholesale presence alongside better-known 1912 consolidation clips.

COMMITTEE NAMED TO PLAN EXCURSION

Jobbers and Manufacturers Will Make Trade Trip Within Next Two or Three Weeks.

A large committee has been appointed by D. J. Straus, president of the Jobbers and Manufacturers’ division of the Chamber of Commerce to arrange for a trade excursion to take place within the next two or three weeks. While announcement has not been made of the route of the excursion, it is rumored a trip will be through the new territory opened by construction of the San Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf railroad.

Another probable route is west of San Antonio on the Southern Pacific. The Jobbers and Manufacturers’ League has not run an excursion since the highly successful journey to the lower Rio Grande valley. President Straus announced a number of excursions are scheduled for the next few months.

Composing the committee on arrangements for the approaching trip are: C. M. Cain, chairman; George T. Allensworth, F. P. Caffarelli, H. W. Finck, T. W. Friederich, T. O. Foster, Gus Giesecke, A. H. Halff, W. E. Hayman, C. B. Johnson, J. E. Harper, Max Krueger, Edwin Lamm, O. S. Lammers, M. H. Mussett, George B. Marshall, W. M. Marvin, Joseph Obriotti, Edward Oppenheimer, A. F. Richter, Ed F. Melcher, D. J. Straus and W. E. Smith.
