largely through the city in which you
live, your prosperity is largely de-
pendent en- the citys welfare. You
know OF many ways in which this
welfare could be promoted. A spirit of
greater confidence in this city, will
ingness to work unselfishly for its
best interests, and a love of prog
ress among the citizenship would
Ia themselves accomplish wonders.
These things can best be brought
about throug the combined action of
number of men through cham
Der of commerce. You can call to
mind many other advantages the city
needs and which could readily be
secured IF the people would only
get together This is exactly what
chamber of commerce of the right
sort accomplished 1t brings togeth
er the ommunity's natural leaders,
the men who are interested in the
colnmu,itys advancement, and or
ganizes them into an efficient work
ing machine.
Finally, the really great need for
chamber of commerce is not the
opportunity it offers you to get from
your community. 1t is the chance
it presents for giving more to it.
Have you ever considered how great
is the debt you owe the city in
which you live? That city is pro-
ducing or is the means of bringing
to you practically everything that
makes life worth living. This Is a
tremendous service. You can pay
for it in part at least by working
with other public-spirited citizens for
the best interests Of the city, A
chamber of commerce provides the
best way of putting you in touch
with such men, without regard to
creed, class or politics. This is
something that neither church, school
nor municipal government, nor all
three together, accomplish.
