OUR CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE.

One of the best assets Lancaster
has to boast Of is its Chamber of
commerce. 1t has done a vast
amount of good since its organiza-
ton. 1t has been the means of bring
ing our business men together at the
different meetings of the board of
governors, with the result that ar
each meeting they have learned
more and more about each other anu
found out that after all there was
not man among them who was not
at heart, very good sort of fell
low. Aside from the social features,
it has been the means of helping
along many good things in the coun-
ty. Its wide-awake secretary, Mr..
Ellison, has been the means of bring
ing the people of the town and the
rural communities together. He has
encouraged the farmers to make his
office their headquarters and has
always gone into the country to
speak whenever he has been invited.
He has shown both farmer and
business man their mutual depen-
dence and has helped bring them to-
eether by holding a number OF cele-
brations for the good of the town
and county. Every big day" in
Lancaster is worthy OF the name for
the people flock hither in large num-
bers, knowing that there is some
thing in store for them. They take
pride in the permanent improve
ments the county seat has made Just
as the town people glory in the deve,-
opment of the county.
Then, too, the Chamber OF Com
merce furnishes to outsiders reading
matter descriptive Of the advantages
Of this section. 1t is furthermore,
the medium through which our peo-
pie are furnished with helpful enter
tainment of many sorts. Without it
a county fair, a spring fashion week
Home Coming, would never have
been possible, nor could our several
booster trips have been so successful.
The splendid line of publicity it has
given us, the fine spirit OF co-opera-
ton, the organized means it fur
nishes for taking hold of many good
things, make the Chamber Of Com
merce invaluable. May 1t 1--WE long
and prosper.
