 The Juneau Chamber of Commerce has time and again proved it's worth to the community. An immeo- fate response to the membership drive evinced by paying the fee without personal solicitation will not only save the time of the membership committee but will enable the organization to definitely formulate constructive plans for the coming year.
 During 1885 the Chamber of Commerce registered 172 paid memberships It is expected that number will be exceeded this year Old and new members will be doing service not only to the organiza tion but to the community by mailing their dues to the Secretary immediately.
