PLATFORM OF ACTIVITIES.
"The great economic adjustment OF
business and finance which has been
taking place for the last five years has
reached a turning point, it is be-
lieved, and business in general is to
have an unprecedented revival That
Wilmington may secure its pro-
portion of this entering prosperity
the Chamber of Commerce believes
that its preparation should be made
before rather than after it has been
ushered in, hence the great movement
which it is now launching
"The Chamber Of Commerce wishes
it emphatically understood that the
work of the organization must here
after cover a broad field and that its
interests in general must be those
which concern the entire community S
welfare and not that of any group OF
class individually.
"That this new Chamber of Com
merce movement may appeal to bust
ness men from the viewpoint of per-
. petuity, memberships in it will be
taken for a three year period. This is
e the best evidence that this movement
is not ephemeral but is being
launched upon a sound financial
basis This should in every way in.
spire confidence and remove every
= question OF a doubt in the minds o.
