- What a Chamber of Commerce
Should Do to Help a Community
swx
First let’s get right down to the grass roots Every business man
and citizen in a community should be a member of some central com-
munity body usually called a Chamber of Commerce Its Buccess can
never be complete until this becomes a fact and the membership is as
nearly unanimous as possible
Second a Chamber of Commerce when organized should be the
voice of a community and the means of bringing about co-operation If
each member has only one vote or its equivalent it will be “our chant-
' ber” and it is each citizen’s duty to hold his place as a cog in the ma
chine Face questions squarely and do not be influenced by any one
or anything against your will Be ruled by the majority only and see
that a minority does yiot obtain control
Efficient officers uncontrolled— with nothing up their sleeves will
help carry out the work for the benefit of the community These words
are used advisedly -and mean exactly what they say If no one Is guilty
of such actions or efforts— then no offense need be taken If offense be
taken then it is a sign that the truth has been told and the “hit dog
howls” Demand efficient fearless officers and demand that the cards
be played on the table with every one having a fair chance Every dol-
lar spent should be itemized and reported Each action by officers
should be public so that it may be commended— if worthy
