Understand that these articles are
not prepared and published for the
purpose of scolding' the members
of the Commercial Club and shifting
the burden of responsibility. We
talk very plainly, that is true. 1t is
necessary, in order that there can be
no Misunderstanding, that we be
very frank in the outset. In these
days cities employ commercial Sec
rotary tor what be is presumed to
know not so much expert know
ledge as from experience. When he
gets upon khe field he proceeds to
study the situation from all angles.
In order that we succeed here in
Washburn, the members of the or
ganization and citizens generally
must divorce the secretary from any
personal consideration. You may
like his ways of living and his pri-
vate life-his personality, or you
may not, individually. But that is
not the point. You have employed
such man not for his personality
alone, nor to please you in all he
SAYS or does. But for the purpose
of thinking, speaking and acting for
you-for your city, and to find out
the facts and tell you the truth. If
not hing can be done for Washburn,
you want to know itbeing honest
men, and if there can be something
done, you want to know what first,
and how and when, and what your
part in the work is. The secretary
has no personal obligations in the
matter, but he has contract to
fulfill.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-15

Undoubtedly the opinion prevails
among large number of our best
citizens and most enterprising men
that by perfecting an organization
and contributing to the fund that
supports it and enabled the organiza-
ton to employ an executive secre-
taty the thing has been done. In
stead, the thing has just begun. 1t
might be well for us at this stage of
the work and movement here, to
look closely and frankly into the
objects, merits and precedents of
commercial secretary work which
has become a recognized profession.
You ask-if this is not enough and
we have just begun what is the
next step?
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-15

In less than three months service
here your secretary has come to
some definite and valuable conclu-
sions. Of course the time is to short
to do more than get general sur
vey of the field, make acquaintance,
start some publicity and advertising
and perfect an organization. This
latter has not yet been accomplished.
If the organization is perfected in
six months into splendid machine
for good, successful, snappy team
work, we may all congratulate our
selves. But, through initiative and
activity, some results are beginning
to loom in sight. Some outside in
terest has been aroused and some
prospects are in view.

Combinations have destroyed COM
petition to large extent in many
lines of manufacturing and business
but no combination can ever des-
troy the competition between states,
regions, localities and cities in this
struggle to gain industrial and COM
mercial supremacy. 1t will grow
with the years and the cities which
do not cope with the others will fall
behind lit is inevitable. Now this
does not mean that one locality Or
ganizes to tear down another in this
competition, or for the purpose of
taking away the industries and COM
merce of some other place. Rather,
the result is to stimulate activities
to create new business and new en-
terprises manufacturing, agricul-
ture, and commerce.

This movement that is now en-
gaging the attention of Washburn is
nationwide and almost every village
and city of Importance has its COM
mercial organization to further the
advancement of such village or city.
This is especially true of the West
and Northwest, but even the con-
servative East is aroused to the i'm
portance thereof-in order to retain
and hold what they have. There
fore we not only stand alone, but it
behooves us to take this movement
seriously-as seriously as we do our
private business affairs.

But the conclusions of the secre-
tary after this preliminary survey
are that Washburn has to create from
within herself the nucleus of num-
Der of diversified manufacturing
units. 1t will be considerable time
until some of the bigger things come,
but each days work will count to-
ward that time. 1t is the spirit of
enterp. Use, hope and sanguine out
look optimism, that we seek to
create first, along with the deter
mination to perform willing team
work, SO that we may be prepared to
handle these larger problems. But
it is evident now, that we must
make the initial start within our
selves. This does not mean large
outlays of cash, or taking any great
risks, but small beginnings in a
manufacturing way that looks sound
and sane. From these others will
grow. But it brings us back again
to the problem--will we say no" to
everything, or yes" to everything
mo" has been found to be the pro-
per and logical answer.

But, when the secretary gets hold
of some promising small enterprises,
we shall find that it will be neces-
sary for us to encourage and foster
them in the beginning in a small
way--even to taking some stock.
But again, the pledge that none
shall be offered that do not seem
sound and reliable, and then it will
always be up to the citizens and
officers and members of the club to
decide upon these industries.

Early in our association which is
proving very delightful and salts
factory to the secretary, if you want
confessiOn--we announced that we
did not propose to foist any schemes
upon Washburn that would call for
heavy financing of industries. Also,
that we were staunchly opposed to
the bonus" system--which means
paying a cash sum for some industry
to locate here. We submit these
things as sound policies. First,
Washburn has no great number of
rich men, although everybody is
more or less prosperous and aAluent,
we could afford to subscribe heavily
to industrial concerns. Second, the
bonus idea is wrong in principal.
