EVERYBODY o

A strong effort is being made 20 put the Chamber Of Commerce on a sound
financial basis, and make it a potential force lin the community
AS in the cae of every public undertaking where n n is to be especially
benefited more than another. the work of whipping the Chamber If Commerce
into shape is left to a few.

Chamber Of Commerce was the dynamo that sent about a thousand volts through
thu Objectionable street railroad franchise and killed it deader than a mackerel
Through the Chamber of Commerce, it took only a day Ito prepare for ne of the

does them creditably 1t would be impossible to get a man of energy at the head

thereby create preJudces. And then Of course there is always more or less
jealousy among aspiring and ambitious citizens But these petty matters should
be brushed aside. Eliminate the personal equation. and support the Chamber.

it is doing am know its needs and ise efficiency is o become a member and attend
the meetings
