100 Years Ago: March 21-27

From The Indianapolis Times, Tuesday, March 24, 1925: Leading business and professional men have joined in the movement with the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce convention bureau to “tell the world” about the merits of the city in order to bring more conventions here. The movement was a result of Dick Miller, bureau chair, pointing out at last week’s annual dinner the need for growth, and preliminary plans were laid before committees at yesterday’s luncheon. Nicholas H. Noyes, vice president of the Chamber, said, “Response from all civic groups, luncheon clubs, and other organizations invited to share in this ‘Greater Indianapolis Movement’ has lent assurance that all Indianapolis is supporting the Chamber in the effort to substantially increase industry and business of the community.” The Chamber and the Indianapolis Real Estate Board have plans to restimulate Indianapolis as an industrial center.
