Work of securing members of the
new Kenosha Chamber of Commerce is |
now well underway and within few
days the directors of the new organi-
cation will meet and make arrange
ments for whirlwind campaign for
members. 1t is expected that in d
single day more than thousand MEM
bers will be added to the organization.
"We want it understood that this
organization is going to welcome to
membership every honorable man or
woman in Kenosha who is interested
in the welfare of the city," said one
of the directors this morning. "Little
has been said about the women so far,
but we are hopeful that they will feel
that they are not barred from member
ship. Their membership is guaranteed
by the incorporation of the organiza-
ton and we feel that there is going to
be a distinct place for the work of
women in this organization. It is one
organization in which the men and the
women have equal rights. There is no
distinction as to membership in this
organization. The women may pay
just the same as the men and they have
exactly the same voting rights.''
Efforts are to be made to secure some
representative of every nationality rep
resented in Kenosha and the fact that
q aa was bern under sC'ae oth sg.eag
than the Stars and Stripes is not Any
bar to membership. It is expected that
scores of the leaders among the
foreign born people of Kenosha will be-
come active in the Chamber of
Commerce.

organization has been compiled but it
is understood that these men are not
to be the only charter members The
charter of the Chamber of Commerce
will be kept open until the whirlwind
campaign for members has been made.
