successful business men, whose lives have
been spent in close connection with
the commercial needs Of q people.
The high and honorable record OF the
Richmond Chamber Of Commerce, now in
the thirty-ninth year of its great useful
ness to our city, convinces us that the
city Of Richmond has had in this organl-
cation its strongest bulwarl1 against
competition from without and its most
strenuous .coadjutor within. We there
fore most earnestly call upon our citizens
OF every class to rally to its support, and
by Joining it's membership 'place 1t in
such a position financially that it can go
forward in It's high and useful mission,
unhampcrcd by the need of money.
The committee does not care to place
an estimate in dollars and cents on the
annual value Of the chamber to the COM
munity, but it Is unanimously OF the
opinion that the people Of Richmond
could better afford to pay fifty thousand
dollars year for its maintenance than to
allow it to go down or be weakened by a
failure to supply literally the funds es-
sential for its operation. The chamber re-
quircs twelve thousand dollars annually
to do its work properly, while fifteen

This would bring in ali amount larger,

thus be provided for every citizen who

Our estimate of the value of tho cham
Der Is based on the work actually done
by that body.
We repeat, and emphasize the fact
that tho existence of active organiza-
tions of b similar character in all the
cities that compete with Richmond for
business is an additional argument in
favor OF a cordial and hearty support OF
our chamber
In it is best afforded an agency by
which the collective force Of the COM
munity can be asserted in competition
with the collective forces OF other cities.
The function Of such collective forces in
all cities is to secure the best possible
conditions for the unhampered and full
expression Of individual and corporate
enterprise. To have those conditions.
