I Am a Member of the Chamber Because…

  1. I have a business at stake in this community, which can at best be safe guarded by working with others through the Chamber of Commerce to protect and advance all business. It is only fair for me to support the Chamber since I reap benefits through the concerted planning, counsel and action that is best obtained through the work of the Chamber of Commerce.
  2. My support is “plowed back” to yield many-fold benefits in new industries, increased payrolls, health, safety, legislation, business protection and community advancement.
  3. I believe that people who help their community through active participation in the work of the Chamber will develop their own powers and broaden their own views.
  4. Through the Chamber of Commerce, I can best discharge my obligations to this community in which I live and earn my living. I realize that every person owes a debt to the community that cannot be paid in taxes - a debt of personal service.
  5. The Chamber of Commerce cannot carry out its broad program of work to protect and advance business without personal service and adequate financial support.
  6. The Chamber of Commerce unifies the public spirit of my community and directs it to useful and constructive channels.
  7. The Chamber of Commerce helps create and express sound opinions on questions affecting the welfare of my community.
  8. Without a strong, effective Chamber of Commerce, my community would be less able to compete with other towns for new industries and new payrolls.
  9. I believe we can only progress by having a central organization eternally watching community welfare and development and I believe the Chamber of Commerce is the central organization adequately equipped to do this work.
  10. The most effective and constructive influence is the force of organized business functioning through the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of improving our area. We can, through organized effort, make this the kind of area we determine it shall be.
