Business Mems Association

The business men of Fond du Lac have
organized what is known as Business
Mems Association, and we notice that other
cities in the Stare, taking their cue from
Fond du Lac, are doing Likewise. 1t is the
desire of the originators of this organization
to make it State institution, through
which the business men of the State can
aid and help each other. We learn that
there will soon be an effort made in this
city to effect similar organization. The
object and purposes of this order are set
forth in the following preamble, taken from,
the proceedings of the Fond du Lac Asso
citation:
PREAABIE.-1n order to insure the pros
perity of our city and citizens, protect and
maintain our credit at home and abroad,
foster and encourage all enterprises calcu-
lated to develop and extend our business in
terest, effect united effort in securing desir.
able legislation by city, county, state and
national authorities, establish suitable pro-
visions for mutual protection. against loss
from irresponsible persons and illegitimate
projects or concerns, exert an influence
whereby the harsher features of business
competition may be softened and improv cd
to meet the demands of An active, vigorous
and social business community, secure an
inexpensive, more expeditions and less OBJ
iectionable process of adjusting claims and
differences, which from time to time seem
unavoidable to exist between business men,
arouse q more widely extended intereaL in
public affairs, correct existing abuses, and
generally to unite the energies and infu-
ences OF all good citizens fer the more
thorough and effectua promotion OF the
public welfare, and thus in a business and
social sense improve he condition of each
individual member of the community, and
believing that to secure these ends perma-
nent orga is n necessary, the business
men of Fond du Lac have formed thi, asso-
