CHAMBER NEARLY
20 Years old
May / to be Birthday Of
civic Organization of
This City, Shows
Growth.
BEGUN IN MAY, 1902
Reorganization Into Present
Form Affected 5 Years
Ago.

May /, 1929, marks the twentieth
birthday of the local Chamber of Com
merce, according to the records kept
by that organization in its offices.
On May /, 1902, Il fair-sized group OF
the city's progressive business men met
and formed Commercial league, and
from that time on Webster City has
seldom been without its civic powtG'-
house. Five years ago the league was
recognized and took its present form.
Things Have Changed.
1t is difficult for n casual outsider
to estimate the extent to which tais
community has come to depend upon
its Chamber of Commerce for many
varied and necessary services. Twen-
ty years ago, as the records will show,
the league" consisted of a member
ship with So dues, q system OF commit
tees and an executive board which had
the general run of things; all the work
of the organizations was accomplished
at meetings. the largest of which were
held in one of the local halls, while
the committees met in some office or
in tle rear of some store. Today. things
are radically different. The present
Chamber of Commerce is an institu-
ton. Il business corporation organized
not for profit. 1t is very much in evil
dence every minute of the day. rather
than during an evening meeting. 1t
has its headquarters, its suite OF meet
ing rooms. its filing cabinets and its
bureau Of information. 1t has Il Salar-
led secretary. or plant manager,
whose work it is to keep the plant run
ming as fhe board of directors and the
members dictate. 1t is the commune
ity power-house" in watch AL civic
betterment movements have their i'll
ception and gather public support.
Some of its Services.
Among the services rendered with
out charge to the public is an employ
ment service. through which many va
cancies have been filled and many de-
serving applicants have been placed.
A bureau of information is maintained
and is being constantly used, not only
by members but by the general public.
In the newly projected master calcn-
dar" the chamber has taken decisive
step in eliminating conflicts between
activities and in forestauing Over-Or-
ganizatiOn The chamber is constantly
lending its assistance to local Organiza-
lions and institutions, in many ways,
acting as sort of handspring in COM
lnunity pursuits 1t is the business GX-
change of Webster City through which
the progressive business institutions
of all lines pronounce their policies and
build up standards.
1t safeguards the public charities, in
that it endorses or rejects every charit-
able project that solicits help from To-
cal citizens, according to the wOrthi-
ness or unworthiness of the case
The Chamber of Commerce. with Il
record of twenty years of achievement.
has come to stay as an institution. 1t
is the community ilower-house" of
