SIS FOR FIRST MORTGAGE ON
PROSPERITY!

If the teams representing the Chamber of Commerce
have missed you in the membership drive, be sure that you
send in your subscription anyway.
Today is the last day of the drive, and with the virtual
assurance that the goal of a thousand members will be
reached, it is still incumbent upon everyone to do his best
to pass that mark. About nine hundred subscriptions have
been obtained. Make the number well over a thousand,
and in this way benefit Casper and yourself just that much
more.
Fifty thousand population in 1925 is Caspers goal. 1t
can only attain that figure if the Chamber of Commerce is
made strong to carry on the good work of publishing the
city, bringing in outside capital, and supporting the many
activities which will go to make us the second city of i'm
portance in all the Rocky Mountain region.
Do your share, and if you have already done your
share, think it over. Perhaps you can do a little more.
One more membership at $25 is little enough for the vast
amount of good you will enjoy through Caspers growth.
Twenty-Five dollars is too little to give for a First Mort
gage on Prosperity!
