Monday night, January 13, 1019, marked anoth-
er epoch in the progress of Norman, and one that
the Transcript believes implicitly is to redound to her
benefit in immeasurable terms. It was the date of
the organization of a strong, vigorous, virile Cham-
ber of Commerce, with a splendid corp of officers
and strong board of directors, who will look after the
interests of the city during the coming year; a year
which promises to be the best in the history of Nor-
man's progress. The names of the officers and di-
rectors appear at the head of this article and their
very names is evidence that Norman means business;
and, too, that it is to be a BUSINESS organization
with all other features taking a back seat.
