questions.
FIRST: What a. citizen, do you
believe the Ardnore Chamber ol
Commerce could undertake for the
good of the city at large?
second What in your opinion, !.
the thing OF first Importance thai
should be undertaken by tho Ardmor'
Chamber of Commerce to improve
trade conditions and opportunities il
your line Of business?
After the thought survey is con
due cd all the answers are propcrly
tabuiutcd and recorded and a shpr
conc So and comprehensive program
of work is drawn up. The theory
Of the modern chamber of commerce
is to go aft-r the needs of n com
monty, once community has at
tairod what 1t needs II acquires al
of It's wants. For instance, city
M want moro industries. it may
ac.ually need better water fncilitics
o. more labor. The right kind OF
city never really wants anything,
After the program of work is writ
tcr up, systems of permitted organi
Zation and control will be organized
There are means OF selecting Il com
,ni;tee who can and who will act
The watchword Of all future com
rn.:tees Of the reorganization will bC
"DO."
a strenuous effort is being made
to get all subscribers to more thar
one membership to Immediately make
their assignments to n human being
The same is true of firms and cor
rorations who have only one mem
borship. individuals must hold eacl
ana every membership to exercise tho
full privilege Of membership. Cor
porations and firms being inanimat'
entities can never be eligible to tho
directorate. All assignments must b'
made Immediately so that the rosSel
list may be prepared for the frs
election.
