What A Live Commercial Club Has Done.

A Terre Haute dispatch says: “Five hundred Terre Haute citizens yesterday had the unique experience of taking an excursion on a special steam railroad train to see their own city. Within a year the Commercial club has caused to established in Terre Haute twelve industries, with an aggregate of $1,500,000 investment in plants, and which, by January 1, will be giving employment to 4,500 persons. The Vandalia company provided a free train to carry the hundreds of men who went sightseeing in their own city.”
