Practically every man was prepar-
ed for the advances OF the committee,
only the fewest number asking FOR
time in which TO consider investing
in the enterprise. II was made plain
10 the members secured that not
only their money, but their influence
and time are requested ir this the
greatest campaign. looking TO the
building of a real city--Greater Am
arillo.
Heretofore there has not been a
really strong effort made 10 enlist
the financial and moral support OF
the entire citizenship for tna Cham
ber of Commerce The memberships
were formerly placed at s25 per year,
bu, they are now reduced TO IS per
annum with the privilege of buying
as many memberships TO the individ-
ual as may be desired. This charge
was made for the reason that the
people as a whole are wanted 10 par
ticipate In the affairs Of the city s
improvements.
Formerly the price of admission
was so high that many men of mod
crate means were kept out of the
affiliation. but this will be true no
more The people are showing ap-
preciation OF this change by coming
into the moveemnt The low price
OF memberships is only for the ac-
commodation of those who find them
selves unable TO pay the greater sum,
and IL IL not expected that any who
have the ability to invest a greater
amount will avail themselves OF the
privilege 10 come in for the minimum
fee
Cooperation and an interchange OF
ideas. a touching of hands and OF
shoulders Is the thing that Is greatly
desired In connection with this work
II is being shown that the cheaper
mem bership fee will make this pos
sible In large measure. The nine
hours campaign Is on. three hours
spent yesterday. another three hours
today and the final three hours Mon
day.
