towns commercial organization.
Such card, as a rule, creates
the impression of town import
ance and your own standing.
Organization of men for the
welfare of any cause was first
brought to our attention BY the
gathering of the Apostles. and
the good they did is now being
taught us in our Sunday schools.
Without charge, with no selfish
ends in view, these men went
from place to place preaching
their views and made converts,
and if we take excerpts from
these wise men anil learn of the
|good that was accomplished, we
have but to follow some of their
principles to make converts for
the public good.
A commercial organization not
only acts for the good of the
town, but likewise reflects upon
the good of the state. An excuse
for non-membership to a local
Chamber of Commerce is indi-
cation of several things: Lack
of study of the good of such
boHqs; lack of. town interest
selfishness, in not being willing
to help with a dollar now and
then; and downright ignorance.
Civic pride in ones home town
ought to prompt man to vol
unteer his membership and not
wait for the invitation to join.
Organized commercial bodies,
ordinarily, represent the high
est type of citizenship, and thor
oughbred town boosters of the

Morgan City, La, can and

fairs are we'll regulated, but

Big Asset.
Greater Development of Re-
sources Are Generally
Brought About BY
Organized Effort.

The first advertiser in the
world was Eve. She advertised
the apple. Pessimists have de-
clared since that day and time
that the apple was a lemon.
That's the pessimist's view.
The optimist still believes that
lit was an apple.
From the early days the pessi-
mist has lived in our midst wear
ing coats of many colors, to-wit :
throwing cold water on the pro-
iects Of the optimist who is one
of the greatest little boosters
that community could have
wished upon it.
The apple that was first adver-
| jtised was considered good, so
good, in fact, that others took
the way and manner of advertis-
ing good things so that others
could share in the results and
! the rewards.
AS one of the greatest adver-
tisers of community we hand
lit to the local Chambers of Com
merce, who, more than any one
individual. advertises the re-
sources of it's home town.
A commercial body of the
character mentioned is the aim
and effort of all progressive
cities to tell in an official man.
|ner just what the home town
produces. what it can do for any
prospective corporation and,
without question, a publicity as
set whose Importance cannot be
measured by dollar member
ships.
The close fellowship of inte;-
ligent citizens for community
good, strikes the average man as
one of the wise things that wise
men have founded. It's lack of
intelligent membership and CO.

velopment. Every dollar earn

such additions there lies the
greater development of the club
and the town.
Views expressed similar to
these may not fit in every mans
mind, but then all men have not
the same mind on the same SUBJ
'ject, but it's reasonably safe to
say, that all sane men fight for
the home town when stranger
tries to slapder it, 50 why not
add that town vanity feeling to
the main channel of town pride.
Join the Chamber of Com
merce. Join it with a will and
a vim. Don't let the other fell
low do it all for the good of the
town and you reap the benefits
that accrue from the work they
do for. you. Anyone should be
able to pay the nominal dues
asked. You can pay more if able
to do so. would rather have a
live-up-tQdate membership card
in my home town commercial
club, which inspires the conf
dence of other members, than a
free gift of some diploma which
states that / am worthy to do so
and so.
There are cities in these
United States that have secured
immense industrial and COM
mercial advantages absolutely
through the organized efforts of
commercial clubs. These clubs
are no jokes. Some are, but in
the natural endeavor to make a
big and good town greater and
better, you must have a COM
mercical club to act for the in
terests of the town, or else give
