LETTERS ARE EXCHANGED
INDICATING COOPERATION
President of Retailers Points Out
That Association Is Only a Cog
In Wheel of Chamber; Ex-
pressed Desire to Help.

That the Chickasba Chamber OF
Commerce and the Retail Merchants
association of this city are working
hand in hand for the betterment OF
Chickasha as a whole and toward
the promotion and use of the made
in-Chickasha' products, is indicated
by an exchange of letters between
J. w Conner, secretary of the form
er organization, and j. S. Garner,
president OF the latter.
Mr.. Corners letter follows:
"Chickasha has several new indus
tries, which are just getting nicely
started. Some of these have been
in operation for some time, but 9th
crs only recently opened for bust
ness. They are all owned and oper-
ated by local people. The money of
our friends and fellow-townsmen is
invested in them and their efforts
and hopes are centered in their sue
cess.
every firm and individual in
Chickasha can do much toward for
warding the interest of these indus
tries by speaking kindly of them on
every OCCASION by bringing them to
tie attention Of their friends and
business associated in their cores
pondencc.
If each firm and individual in
CAickdgaa leels kindly interest in
these industries, learns TO speak Of
them as Our Industries, they will
help inestimably in the growth and
development of these concerns. and
Nsoon they will grow strong and sub
stantial, and will in turn repay us
in the help and support that they
will render the community Espe
cially can we be of assistance tc
certain of these industries whose
products enter into our daily use
particularly is this true as regards
the creamery, broom factory ice
cream industry and bottling works
u do not wish to imply that these
industries which | have just named
are particularly in need of our help
or assistance, neither do | wish to
imply that they should be favored
above any other, but they are most
recently established and come to my
mind as examples expressing this
idea.
Certain publicity that will result
in bringing to the attention Of the
people of Cbickasha the fact that
they have within their own city
number of well organized, splendidly
operated, newly established indus
tries, that are producing products in
use daily, and the fact that the more
these products are used and the
greater preference that can be siown
to the 'M5de in Chickasha' product.
the more rapidly these industries
will be developed and the more sure
ly Chickashas proper position VIII
be assured.
= May we ask that you, as president
of the Retail Merchants association.
bring these ideas before the weekly
meeting of your directors and urge
them to interest each member of
your organization to. as far as he
can, keep his stocks supplied with
Chickasha products. and in every
way possible to urge their use among
his trade.
1--WE believe that campaign Of
this character will do very much to-
ward the substantial advancement
If our commercial interests as a
whole. A chain is only as strong as
us weakest link and if the weak
est link is made strong. the chain
cannot be broken If we can
strengthen and make strong our
weaker industries. we can build up
anu establish commercial cord'-
ton that cannot be shaken. If we.
cari one. will demand and use home
Yrodacts we will have gone far To-
ward this end"
