vipuALs.
Whist opportunities are there for
organizing good. live board Of trade
IN the city Of Daytona! what can
Be accomplished by such an organi-
zation?
These are questions which have
been asked. discussed and partly an
swered since the organization Of the
hotel men here several weeks ago
and the answer to the question Of OPP
portunities can be answered by point
ing to the success that is attending
the banding together of the hotel
men and what has Already been ac-
compl1shed by the Organization. AS
An Organization the business men OF
Daytona could accomplish as much
more for the city than any one could
accomplish, as there a = members of
the board -
An organization composed of the
combined business interests of the
city is in a position to plan re.orms,
discuss changes and demand conces-
sions which would be r.diouled If
coming from single individual. A
complete organization has always
the interests of the city and commu-
nifty at heart, while each individual
business man has little opportunity
or inclination to plan beyond the ex-
tension of his own interests.
An illustration of this point is in
the fact that arrangements have
by made by the HoeI Mems Associ-
alton for the placing of a telephone
in the East Coast depot, thing
which individual business men, hotel
men and citizens have tried to ac-
'compliSh in vain. The demand from
the hotel men as a WHO e could not
we'll be refused.
The primary object of the Hotel
Mems Association is 20 boost ard ad.
vertise the city of Daysona in every
way possible and at present the or
ganization is undertaking work which
should properly be handled by
board of trade with every hotter man
as boosting membe. of such a civic
body.
Let the Daytona business men
look this matter square'y in the face.
A wide-awake business orgaaiza ion
is bound to do the town good; funds
raised and expended in judiciOus pub
licity work will return to the indi-
vidual business man in time. The
dividends on this kind of investment
may not be Immediately apparent,
but they will come steadily and
surely.
DaytOna is not the only city which
has had trouble in maintaining
thoroughly alive and active business
organization, but the accomplish
ments of such a society have been
apparent in many CT les where civic
organizations have been kept alive
and the individual business men
trained to pull together for the in
terests of the whole community.
