feel sure that their failure to
stand shoulder to shoulder with
their fellow citizens in this neces-
sary work is due to some misun-
derstanding, either as to conditions
or else of the work in hand. For
this reason I am asking you once
more to lend us your valued col
umns as you always have in the past
to make it clear as to the nature of
the work we are accomplishing and
how this work helps every citizen
of Yavapai county directly and in
directly, from the bank president
and the real estate owner to the
clerk, whose salary depends upon
the sales he makes, and the child
who is given better teacher be-
cause of the increased funds, conse-
quent upon more population
In the past twelve months the
Prescott Chamber of Commerce has
located in Yavapai county the Sc
lig Polyscope Company This
branch of one of the richest motion
picture companies in the world has
spent nearly $4,000 in the Mile
High City since its advent amongst
us, last January. 1t has given help
to our entertainments to the extent
of over the sum of $1,000 1t has
lent to the publicity of Prescott I'M
told thousands, because the Seligs
have advertised our hitherto I'M
known scenic wonders to the world
and his wife
Besides making our unrivaled eli
mate known throughout the world.
our chamber has had the courage
to launch two annual entertainment
features, which have done much al
ready to put Yavapai county on the
map. l refer to the Frontier day
celebration, held on the Fourth OF
July and the Northern Arizona fair,
both of which brought hundreds OF
people from all parts of this and
other neighboring states to our hos
pitable borders.
We are ready TO assist in every
honorable way, every cause which
points toward progress for Pres
colt and Yavapai county and the
Prescott Chamber of Commerce Is
working consistently on new plans
which will continue to keep our
county before the eyes of the world.
A casual glance at our files.
which are always at the disposal
of the inquirer, will disclose the
fact that this organization has been
instrumental in bringing scores OF
desirable citizens here to Yavapai
We can only bring them to look
over our resources. 1t is up TO"
the individual citizen to get into the
game and join us in the endeavor
to keep these people.
Between now and the conclu-
sion of the fiscal year December
lS) it is our wish to call the atten-
ton of each citizen of Yavapai
county, not now in our organization,
to the desirability and the necessity
of lending his influence and his
financial support to our work. We
will be assisted in this by Aaron
/ H. Powers, who has aided us IN
other ways during the past few
months and who will call on as
many men not now members as
possible in order that they may not
remain out of the organization,
through any Misrepresentation of con-
ditions.
i We hope that non-members will
not wait to be called on, but will
voluntarily visit the office OF the
secretary and leave their names. ii
they desire to assist in our work,
since with the closing OF the year.
we propose publishing list OF
members, classified according to oc
cupation. and we would not want
to omit any of those who are in
!, sympathy with our attempts to build
bigger and better and more pros
porous Prescott and Yavapai coun-
!, ty.
Yours very truly,
w. A. DRAKE, President Pres
colt Chamber of Commerce.
