Introducing his subject, Mr.. Bry-

feel that Geneseo is the best town.
If not, make it the best town in
which to live, give your boys and
girls a greater opportunity or else
step aside and make room for some
one who will try to make this eff
fort Continuing, he said. ITO
do this you must get the religion
of teamwork, of cooperation Meet
your fellowmen on this basis and
you will learn that the other fell
low is really worth while. A Cham
Der of Commerce must be big
enough to take in every law abid-
ing citizen, else it fails of its pur-
pose"
"Geneseo is a great business -
said Mr.. Bryan. Every business
man and citizen is a stakeholder.
Business is the foundation of hap
piness and prosperity But no bus
mess man is independent unto him
self and himself alone. If he thinks
so, he merely deceives himself But
every man is indebted to his town.
He owes his town something to
