THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The one organization in a community which upholds the ideals of good citizenship, right living and active co-operation among individuals and organizations making up the city's life is the Chamber of Commerce. It surveys the community with a telescope to see the whole at once, and at the same time, with a microscope, to search out the details. It encourages and co-ordinates individual efforts, and takes its prominent place in all worth-while community activities. The Chamber of Commerce is the guide, philosopher and friend of the home city and the community. With this background in mind, any community must thoroughly realize that the efforts of community upbuilding tend toward evolution. It, therefore, becomes of the utmost importance to each of us to realize that the Chamber of Commerce is an organization through which public-spirited citizens in a community may express themselves collectively on questions of community welfare and through which they may make their collective desires effective. Cities do not happen- co-operation builds them. In business, as in life, he gets most out of it who gives most to it. The dividends are based on the investment.
