Excerpt from National Electric Light Association, Vol. 2: Thirtieth Convention, Commercial Programme Question Box, Washington, D. C., June 4, 5, 6, 7, 1907
The thirtieth convention of the association was held at Washington, and Friday, June 7, was set aside on the pro gramme as Commercial, or new-business Day. At the request of President Williams, Mr. W. W. Freeman took the chair, and opened the session with the following remarks: chairman freeman: I believe that one of the essentials of success in commercial life is the ability to adapt oneself to circumstances. I have been given a programme marked out in minutes - almost in seconds - which appears to make it diffi cult to get through with the matter in hand, even if we had begun promptly at ten o'clock. Due to the introduction of the most important subjects that we have been considering, we are one hour behind the schedule, and it behooves us to show our commercialism by getting through with the programme within the time limit at our disposal.
We will begin with The Commercial Field, followed by Questions of Policy. I have now the pleasure of calling upon the originator and moving spirit of the C0-operative Electrical Development Association, Mr. J. Robert Crou'se, who will read a paper on (ia-operative Commercialism in the Electrical Field.
