The conscienceto see and recog nize the needs of the community and the will to tike effective action. It has been well said that a Com- munity is poor in purse and poor in purpose that hes not a strong vital and active Board of Trade or Cham- ber of Commerce. 11 Reasons Why I Should Be a Member of the Chamber of Commerce 1. Because I have a business stake in this commun- nity which can best be safeguarded by working with others through the Chamber of Commerce to protect and advance all business. I help insure this community's progress which in turn insures the success of my business. 2. It is only fair to 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: 3. Because I believe that the man who helps his com- munity through active participation in the work of his Chamber of Commerce will develop his own powers and broaden his own views. 4. Because my support is "plowed back" to yield many -fold benefits in new industries, ,increased payrolls, health, safety legislation, business pro- tection and community advancement. 5. Because 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 man owes a debt to the community that can- not be paid in taxes, a debt of personal service. 6. Because the Chamber of Commerce cannot carry out its broad program of work to protect and ad- vance business without personal service .and ade- quate financial support. 7. Because the Chamber of Commerce " unifies the public spirit of all and directs it into useful and constructive channels. 8 Because the Chamber of Commerce helps create and express sound opinions affecting the welfare of Canada. 9. Because without 'a strong, effective Chamber of Commerce we would be less able to compete with other towns for new industries and new payrolls. . 10. Because I believe it is essential to progress to have a central organization eternally watching com- munity welfare and development. I believe the Chamber of Commerce is the central organization adequately equipped to do this work. 11. Because the most effective and constructive influ- ence is the force of organized business functioning through the Chamber of Commerce for the pur- pose of improving our town. We can through organized effort make the kind of town we de- termine it shall be.
