RI L. MULHOLLAND. Of Toledo,
- started FL Pasoans 10 thinking anu
J. talking when lie told them o. the
support his city was giving the cham
bar Of commerce. With a population OF
25e.o 500 people. the Toledo chamber Of
commerce membership numbers several
thousand persons-away over 1000 peo-
pie. Fl Paso, with population of So
900 permanent residents, has but a few
hundred members. These few hundred
are carrying the burden OF the expense
Of boosting Fl Paso-
We all boast Of our III Paso spirit"
and Of The fact that FL Paso- IS the
iivest city Of its size in the country
but how many Of Us stop to think what
part we as individuals are cOntribut-
ing to all this sucscess2
The few hundred people VINO are
members OF the chamber Of commerce
are bearing the burden OF all the boost
ing. financial and otherwise Il takes
money TO boost
Every citizen Of FL Paso benefits by
the progress Of FL PasO. Every cit
iZen should al least contribute as much
as a membership in the chamber Of
commerce, which is but a dollar q
month for individuals
We make our all in FL Paso. whether
we are wage earners OF merchants We
ought TO contribute something 10 help
make e Paso- a few should not be
asked 20 carry the burden and even e
they are doing II, II we all came Fl
with our share and those now bearing
the burden continued 70 give as much
IS they have, We would have 2 lot moro
cash for a lot more boosting That's
th- beauty about it
We are made better citizens br help
ing to accomplish things We are made
better citizens by meeting our fellow
toWnsmen on an equal footing We
Of commerce and all attend its meet
ings and participate in its delibers-
tions
Il Paso ought to have at least 1000
permanent members Of its chamber Of
commerce. No matter whether you are
working at a trade. as q clerk. or n
business for your self. You owe duty
10 the city and yourself 10 heia.
