Some of the New Features, of the,
Re-Organized Chamber of Commerce

When such citizens as Mr.. J. L.
Skipper, president of the American
State Bank, and the Wilson Hard
ware Company go to the trouble and
take the time to write to a hundred
or more of Lakeland's citizens ask
ing them to give their support to the
new Chamber of Commerce it is evil
dent that we will have in Lakeland
the best and most efficient organiza-
tion in this entire country. The let
tiers which have been sent out read:
Our firm has always taken an in
terest the work of our commercial
organization and has tried from time
to time to cooperate with the off,
GERS in carrying out their plans for
the upbuilding of the town and sur
rounding country.
From Wilson Hardware Co.
I'VE have noted with much salts
faction the increased interest which
the present Board is arousing among
the membership and in trying to
reach those not now identified, and
especially in the plans for re-organ-
ization, which appeals to us as pro-
eressive and business like. 1t is our
purpose to cooperate with the Board
in every way, even more heartily
than in the past. and we heartily
recommend the matter to you for
your serious consideration, hoping
that for the sake of results which
will come from united and coop
erative effort you will line up in this
present plan for a more efficient
commercial organization
IF you are not now familiar with
the new idea will you not take the
trouble to become fully informed so
that you can and will lend your
hearty cooperation to the further
ance of SO many projects desirable
and profitable to us at this time as
citizens and also to the community

COMMERCIAL CLUB ACTIVITY

The wave of enthusiasm which has
come over this community during
the past week in connection with the
reorganization and rejuvenation of
our commercial organization is un-
like anything which we have hither-
to experienced in this line. On pre-
vous occasions when an effort has
been made to instil new life and ac-
tivity into the Board of Trade the
work has been left to few who
were expected to perform miracles,
such as raising the dead citizens to
life again. A fe wof the busiest
and most enterprising men gave
their time and energy in an endeav-
or to line up every other man, chiefly
with the idea of securing his finan-
cial support. The scheme Of the pres
ent plan of reorganization does not,
Of course, make light of the need
for financial support, but 1t empha-
sises the greater need of personal
service, for it follows, as the night
the day, that the man who is work.
ing for the accomplishment Of some
definite purpose will be generous in
his financial contributions as and
when the need arises, The three or
four score business men who have
attended the luncheons during the
past few days have learned more of
the actual work and needs of a sue
cessful commercial organization, and
are therefore in a position as never
before to lay hold of the new work
with an interest, both hearty and
intelligent, realizing that the organ
izationr is theirs, as we'll as the work
and the results which come from
their personal and cooperative &C
tivity.
1t is safe to say that at the close
of the meeting in connection with
the dinner on Tuesday night, the
men of Lakeland, who are keen and
alive to see the personal and COM
munity benefits to be derived from a
whole hearted cooperation in civic,
commercial. industrial and agricul-
tural development. will be lined up
as a solid body going out from now
on to achieve anything which can
be and ought to be accomplished by
an up-to-date. aggressive, efficient
and thoroughly equipped commercial
organization.

badly made, but because when need
ing some little attention it was not
given, and the rut became a washout
and the work of weeks, and for
which good money was paid out, was
obliterated by the action of the ele-
ments. That is requires inspection
and daily work to keep any kind of a
road in good condition is now being
realized. And so it is right and prop
