FOR BETTER CITIZENSHIP
 AND BETTER WILLIMANTEc

Since the activities of all organiza- lions are based upon platform which serves as a foundation for work it Is perhaps best to state the spirit. Of our platform, that our aims and Aspirations may be better under stood. Our platform, while very modest is an ambitiols one. as there are ns limits to its possibilities, pro- vldings the cooperation which it de- serves is obtained
 During the period of the war. our Chamber like those of other cities be- came imbued with the spirit of Ma tionalism, at the expense of lesser lo- cal interests: now that the war is over and peace declared (noD, we are still imbued with the spirit of Nation slism. -but of a localized nature. So then. our platform is "A Better Citi- zenship and a Better Willimantic.'
 On this platform, without reference fo race. religion or politics it becomes possible for us all to assemble and discuss local policies with freedom and confidence.
 At he present time a strong effort is being made to enlist the interest and the co-operatinn of those who, though speaking a foreign tongue in addition to our own. showed during the past two years their loyalty to American institutions in most praiseeworthy manner
 We also invite the support of all other et'wouid|be" citizens who feel that their full duty is done when there are no outstanding grocers' bills. We feel that those who enjoy the plea Eures and privileges of our citv are hot -'citizensr in the full sense of the Egrd suntil they become willing to

 The re-organized Chamber of Com- merce has fully justified it's existence It has inculated new spirit of enter prise and cooperation which is mak- ing itself plainly manifest. Through it's endeavors six new important in dustries were located in New London in the year. Several more should be added to this number in 1920 and cer- tainly will be if the Chambers project of an industrial building goes through
 All of New London's industries are in a fourishing condition. The most cordial relations exist between its manufacturers and their employees. Its storekeepers in 1919 did a record bus mess.
 Real estate has been in great de- mand and the transfers of property during 1919 surpassed all previous records.
 On every hand is unmistakable evil dence of the city's growth and pros perity. Its present population is es- rimated at 35,O00 and 1920 should see it reach the 40. 900 mark.
 New London made good during the war crisis in every .particular-she is meeting the problems following the war with courage and faith in the fu- ture of state and country.
 With live Chamber of Commerce, and energetic city government under the able leadership of Mayor Morgan working in cooperation. New London enters upon the year 1920 with every promise of continued prosperity and eXDansio1.

 It was not longer ago than January, 1919 that Connecticut passed the law authorizing us to sell Single Install ment Shares in addition to the month ly payment method. This allows the person having money to invest to
 make a good dividend and help out our situation by increasing our loan
 ing power at the same time. These
 shares carry the same dividend as the Long-term Shares. Whatever is earned by the Association is distrib-
 uted to the accounts of it's sharehold-
 CTS and is not less than per cent. Strong effort is being made to sell a number Of hundred shares in the 10th series and we ask everyone to consider in these days of prosperous wage for many a worker, how many they might justiflably take and start
 regularity in their effort to save. The first shares sold in the 10th ser ies were to two shareholders of earlier
 series who found they could period ically put in greater amount than they first experimented with, one for five shares the oher for three. You experiment too! Inquire of our directors.

NORWICH BUILDING LOAN
 STARTING TENTH SERIES

The Norwich Building and Loan Association starts the 10th series of the shares of the association on the first of January, 1920.
 Series have been started semi an nually and with the ending of the coming period we will have completed five years of our .existance In com pairing our history with older Associ- ations in our state we have found that 1t is the same as many of theirs, taking few years to disseminate the knowledge of it's benefits to the person in the average walks of life but gathering increased momentum to it's activities as it became more widely known
 All associations have found like ex- periences during the last three years, little demand for loans for building. but many who have been pleased. to make share loans on their money which had been acumulating from monthly payment for the payment of their various pledges during the war activities. Since January 1919, ap- plications for mortgage loans have been coming in far greater numbers than can be cared for.
 The United States government through it's Labor Department has exact knowledge of the situation and keen appreciation of the stable cit izen that the man who has a family and owns his own home makes.

United States Government recognized the worth of this organization in the time Of war and many of our citizens realize that its value Is just as great in times of peace.
 The sum total of the Chambers ac- tIvtties have made it strictly worth while and profitable investment. Its manifold and varied uses show it's wide scope and possibilities. The loyal support given the Chamber marks it as an established and accept eo institution.
 It ts simply a group of individuals working in sympathy and harmony, and as, we. as individuals, live and learn so we may expect this progress to reflect in greater achievements and broader activity as the years go on. But even though we may be on the threshold of a bigger future. this re- fro -neft reSeals an organization of which none need feel ashamed.
