Would Join sect Together Society,"
To the Editor of the Bossier Banner.
The "Get Together Society,"" recently
formed in Shreveport, which they call the
"New Chamber of Commerce." means
much to this section.
In the first place, it means that the va
rious business interests of that city have
combined on that one thing, which in
itself is good move, to say nothing of
other possible results.
They have put up their money. To the
writer that "spells success more than
"Shreveport" does. 1t shows to the peo-
pie Of the country that the movement is
founded on facts and not shot air.
The policy adopted by this association is
on broad lines. 1t is not the intention that
Shreveport shall derive all the benefits,
but that it shall benefit all this section of
the country as we'll. Every business man,
land owner and farmer who lives in the
country tributary to Shreveport should
contribute to it's financial as we'll as its
moral support. We should show our in
terest by filing with them such information
as will enable them to better describe this
section, its resources, etc.
1t is our duty to join the movement and
help a good thing along in every way
we can.
do not look for any visible results from
the efforts of this association for two
years; and | trust that the people of
Shreveport will not feel discouraged if no
new factories come this year, but keep up
their interest, as they will win in the end.
Let us join the sect Together Society,"
in spirit, if not in fact. Lob.
