When l read about the comm -rcial club CT Hous-
| ton with a membership OF over 3 - and then con-
slider how light our memb -rshlp Is compare
| with what it should be, / am driven to the con-
cusion that there are great many people here
who have not been properly invited TO Join, or
they are utterly indifferent to the welfare OF the
community in which they live. l have known
| these people Tor twelve years aud have never
known the time when thay called upon
that they did not respond with alacri'y and take
deep interest in everything tenaing to better
the immunity
81 find to-day that there is not member of
this chamber of commerce among the wholesale
grocerymen of this city. l say this not ia a
spirit OF reflection toward any man conn ected
with the trade in this city. But / do believe ii
those gentlemen knew the reSsing necessity
that now exists for general action and united
uDoort of this institution, tbs; they would see
ct once the need of their becoming members,
and being identified with the work OF the cham
Der OF commerce.
81 also notice that there is not physician OF
the city a member OF the chamber of commerce.
| dom t say this in a spirit o. reflection any
man connected with the prof .sSion. But they
that d Fo:t Worth has gone TO the front in the
past, they have likewise been benefte /; and as
Fort Worth achieves commercial greatness in
he future. SO will they prosper. II Is Bat just
and right that they should be identified with the
movem nts to push forward the cily's interests

that if we bring more business r. the lines
ready established here wi suffer f-om tn. COM
