SHOULD YOU BELONG TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

If the local Chamber of Commerce has success during it's present drive, in getting the active cooperation Of all the various groups in Seward, the labor element guides, and packers, the churches and women's organiZa- tions. as well as the professional and business men, there will be no limit to the benefits every person ill this section will receive.
 If through the combined efforts they can induce a corporation or ln- dividual to investigate the possibili- ties in this vicinity, the whole town will benefit, even though the investi- gator remain only day-It is neces- sary that he eat and sleep.
 A family at a time added to our pre- sent population would soon mean en- ough new people to demand more clerks for the merchants, a quicker turn over, cheaper living, less taxes, more revenue and a better town-lt means more homes, work for the la borer and the tradesman. Every new family in this section of Alaska, in the Interior or to the westward will help Seward. Situated as we are, The Gateway, it is necessary that those people pass through here. A conservative estimate of the addition al tonnage passing through Seward, created by a few more families would mean more boats to and from Sew ard, more buildings for storage, addi- tional help to handle freight, more trains and therefore more crews, and each Of these items helps Seward.
 The erection of a pulp mill at Sc ward. contemplated in the spring, will offer an inducement for the home steader to clear his land. To develop it he must have a market for his pro- duce; this is no great matter ii thru COOPERATION the people buy at home, the merchant will give home grown products preference, the fisher ies moving to this section will add a thousand fold to this demand.
 In the midst of a highly mineralized country, well timbered good soil, id cal climate famous game, natural beauties and the nearest port to a great fishing bank, with fine harbor and docks-Seward can cater to every prospective Investor, Farmer, Home seeker. Big game hunter, Tourist and Fisherman.
 Eventually why not now,' Hole proof hosiery" Community plate, "Old Dutch cleanser" and many oth- CT trade names are household words known the world over because of ad- yertising. Knowledge of their prod ucts, ambition to make it the best and enthusiasm in their efforts are essen tial for advertising success We can apply this to ourselves. While we cannot advertise in the manner of a large corporation or community we can at least emulate their examples and in small way let strangers know our attractions.
 Knowledge is acquired by men who know less from men that know more Some know more about certain sub iects than others. We have menta picture of the Community we wish t( he we are not satisfied to remal1 where we are-we have an ambition to become the greatest town in Al aska. The more knowledge we haV of our surroundings and the hlghe rur ambition. the more enthusiasm we become over the prospects befor us.
 THE SEWARD CHAMBER o COMMERCE needs men in every lin of work in order to obtain the know edge necessary to intelligently adVel tise our possibilities Every puoli spirited resident in any surroundln town of Seward, should have ambluo to better himself by associating wit 2 cooperative body who have the el +husiasm necessary to put Seward the front. And that person shoul sacrifice any personal prejudice | may have for the common good an while it may not be possible for hll to give the community all the time requires, he should at least devo' a portion of his time for communl and therefore his own welfare.
 Money is essential of course b' man power and cooperation is wh we need most now. HAVE YOU TAI FEN OUT A 1924 CARD IN THE $. WARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
