ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial BY
the Editor.

The Miner editor is of the
opinion that Commercial Club
or a Chamber of Commerce Is
one of the essential necessities
of every community. We are
also of the opinion that every
man in the city should be a
member of such an institution
and thus lend his assistance in
the upbuilding of a community.
Ely has been blessed with a
live-wire Commercial Club and
many of the good things the
city now enjoys is the outcome
of united action and community
spirit which permeated the
membership of the club.
Several years ago the Club
presented list of achievements
at the annual meeting of the
St. Louis County Club and for
several years were awarded the
achievement banner. This be-
came a habit until the report
