 LAUNCHED
FIRMS AND INDIVIDUALS ALL OVER COUNTY TO BE ASKED TO JOIN THE CHAMBER COMMERCE.
(From Sundays Daily.)


 Believing that it should not only be duty, but privilege and pleasure for every citizen of Yavapai county. interested in its affairs from civic and financial standpoint, to become a member of the Navapai County Chamber of Commerce, a whirlwind campaign for new members will be commenced carly this week by Chair man H. T. Southworth. Since the last membership campaign, many new people have located in Iavapai coun- ty, particularly is this true of Pres colt. and 1t is the intention of Dr. Southworth that these people and firms be represented on the member ship list of the organization, which stands for the upbuilding of the en- tire community.
 Announcement of the number Of new members secured will be made at the annual smoker of the chamber, which is to be held January 18th. The membership list now totals in the ncighborhood of 300, but it IS be- lieved that the 800 mark will be reach ed before the end of the first quarter.
 The following letter, which has been sent out by President Haworth shows the spirit in which the work will be carried on during 1917;
 Approaching the support which you have given the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce in the past, as president for the year 1917, l desire to urge upon you the necessity of your giving this organization your continued ,activc assistance. T haven t time to devote to the Chamber of Commerce activities is a stock cx- cusc of a man for failure to do his civic duty Take a list of members of the Chamber Of Commerce and pick out the names of men you know to be most active. You will ind them the biggest and busiest men in the county They are not too busy to give their time and their energy to making their community better place for you to live in. They are not inspired by sentiment: the Yava- pal County Chamber of Commerce Is to them an investment of time and money, which yields dividends. IT 1t wasn't, they would never have san ctioned its birth. They are giving 10 the work not name and money alone, but time and experience that cannot be given a money value. It is scr vice that cannot be purchased Yet they are giving it freely for Yavapai county;
 Many of these men have for years been our most public-spiri;cd citizens They created the Chamber Of Com mcroc because they realized that their singlc-handcd efforts would not ac- complish the results for which they were all working. They continue to cooperate in Chamber OG Commerce work because they know that the or ganization is doing what they indi- vidually could not accomplish. Orig inally created at time when pros pcrity in Navapai county was at a low cbb. the Chamber or Commerce has played most important part in bringing about an era of prosperity. Boosting in the hard times Of the pas, has been paying proposition; boost ing m the present prosperous times will yield far greater results. Every citizen of Navapai county has bcnc- fitted by the Chamber or Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has lc- gitimatc call on the support and work of every citizen. l. needs your pres encc at the weekly meetings There is work to be done by you You owe it 70 yourself to sec that this work is done right: and one of the best means of accomplishing this is by your at tendance at the regular weekly meet iuoS Tho hOOSfcrS arc Xa,-a rli'S biggest asset. don't be liability"
