strength OF the body should run into
the hundreds, instead OF less than 100.

thermore, they feel that only the best
results can be attained by every bus
'iness man interesting himself to the
extent of becoming a member of the
Chamber, and then all hands put
their shoulders TO the wheel in every
movement that tends To tho CONNER
eial advancement of the city. In
other words, it is pointed out that
the spirit or cooperation should be
greater, and a better feeling in every
way fostered by the business men.
Hence the membership drive. In
launching this campaign. the Chamb-
er decided upon the plan of naming
membership committees to engage in
a canvass among the business men
with the view of securing additional
members. A different committee will
engage in such activity each month
For the present month, the committee
consists of Col. J. Edward ABB oft
William G. Vanous, and Joseph Click

ing month, new committee will be
uamed. 1t is planned for the mem
bers of the committee as a body. or
