CLAREMORE, IND. TER, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1906.
NO. 85
OF COKKERCK.
To Um CIUmm of Clarauura.
At tlM rcorpnlul ion of the Coni-
ne relal Club of llila town, lield on
Wednesday evening of this week, It
was decided to reoricaiiiae under the
Mm* of "Claremore Ctiamber of Com-
merce," and thuae present at tlie meet-
ing did us lite honor of electing us aa
president and secretary of the
organisation.
Whilst we feel and appreciate the
honor conferred upon us. we also feel
and appreciate the responsibilities of
the offices.
As a flrst step In the fulfilment of
ear duties, we desire to set before our
fsllow-citlxens a few statements and
facta for their consideration. In tlie
•nt place we must all realise that
Claremore la past the stage of tlie
ewaddllng clothes of a village, and our
people If tliey desire results, must take
notIcs and "sit up."
We believe that every citizen of
Claremore Is truly loyal to the best In-
terest* of their chosen homes, and
their past demonstrates that they
Itave every confidence In the future
growth and prosperity of our town.
Our people must realise tliat the
next two years will make or mar tlie
progress of all towns In the eastern
part of tlie New Oklahoma, that there
Is much work to be done In the up-
building our city, and that only by a
united effort and some sacrifice, both
In time and money, can the best re-
sults be obtained and our prosperous
future assured.
It has been clearly demonstrated
that no greater lever to success in tl«
upbuilding of a town can be used
tban s real, lire, energetic Clumber
of Commerce, and for results we have
only to look at our sister towns of
Muskogee, Tulsa, Nowata, Vinita and
many others.
It Is time Uiat our cltiiens throw off
whatever of Indiiterence and lethargy
tliera may be in tlielr nature or dis-
position, or that may have been ac-
quired and take tlielr place amongst
the worken for tha upbuilding of our
town, remembering that what la
"good for one 1a good for all."
The work of a Chamber of Com
meroe Is a work for all who are loyal
to their town, and Is not confined to
tlie business and professions! inter-
eat*, as the meclianic and laborer are
equally Interested In the advancement
of our city. Tlie officers of any Insti-
tution cannot mske a success unless
tliey have the loyal and hearty sup-
port of tlie members, and surely one
or two nights in tlie month are not
too much for a loyal cltlsen to spend
In the furthering of tha best interests
and future advancement of tlielr
town.
Ws therefore call upon all loyal
cltisena to help In this work, not only
by becoming members of tlie new or-
ganisation, but by a regular attend-
ance at tlie meetings of tlie aame, and
by a prompt and cheerful activity
upon all committees of which they
may be members, and thus with a
united will and effort, help to build a
"Greater claremore."
Yours for tlie cause,
Gnobob H. Davis, Prealdent.
H. Jennings, Secretary.
