CITIZENS EXPECTED TO SUBSCRIBE LITERALLY
FOR SUPPORT OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION.

, to be a member of the New Ibe-
ria Chamber Of Commerce, and,
according to the Publicity Com
mittee, the people of New Iberia
and Iberia Parish will be def
initely informed as to just who is
loyal to the City in which he
makes his livelihood. Inside in
formation also has it that the
Publicity Committee has another
card up it's sleeve that will cause
broad smile among the mer-
chants, business houses, banks,
etc. and that when it becomes
public they will positively know
that their loyalty to the City is
very much appreciated,
New Iberia has within its cor
porate limits men who can talk
and talk for hours on community
spirit, cooperation the altruistic
tendencies of loyal people, but
who just wont help the City to
succeed. If New Iberia is to take
its place among the foremost
cities in South Louisiana it is up
to just you and me to see that the
New Iberia Chamber of Commerce
receives a stipend commensurate
with the work accomplished.
Active members, who have ideas
and who do not fear criticism from
less public spirited citizens, are
urged to attend each and every
open meeting and give to the body
their ideas relative to a larger,
better, more progressive and
prosperous center. They well
come you to the fold and you are
always welcome at the open meet
ings. If you have a kick to reg
lister, make it to the manager. If
you have a boost to offer or a
suggestion of material benefit,
tell it also to the manager and at
the open meetings-you will be
heard and listened to with atten-
tion.

its quota of $4,000 it would still
