A. alcafaster, president of the Chamber of 'Commerce, issued the following statement on Tuesday: "For many years Seaforth has bad an industrial.committee which work- ed hard and has accumulated an abundance of material and has con- tacted innumerable industrial con- cerns relative to locating in Seaforth. It was not an aecount of the lack of endeavor that they were unable to have more industries locate here, The chief problem, has ,been transportation difficulties. "'•A few weeks ago a number of mer- chants 'conceived the idea of enlarg- ing the committee to - include many other activities which would make Seaforth a more flourishing and ,pro- gressive town, The industrial comm- ittee called a general meeting of the ,business Wren which was well attend- ed, At this plans were made to form a d-'hantiber of 'Commerce. A president, vice-president, secretary and treas- urer were appointed. This committee wile appoint directors and a chairman of committees to -work with thetas. The united efforts of many business men accomplish more than individual effort. "A ,Chamber of Commerce repres- ents through its leaders a cross sec- tion of the Ibu iness life of the town. It:meet fulfill a u.ef it purpose. It in- cludes all sections or:he he Ibusines • life, co -relating education, agriculture, in- dustrial activities, merchants and ci- ric ,problems. Every town, and Sea - forth is no exception, admittedly wants to grow and develop. It wants more Ibutsiness of all types. Seaforth being an agricultural town, is assoc- iated with .agricultural activities more .than larger centres. Therefore, it is our hope and aim to sell the town of Seaforth in many ways to greater numlbers of 'farmers in :the adjoining district. "The,fanners. Of adjoining town- ships are organizing'kir , niore united effort on their part. Pile wish them. well and hope that they will take ,the opportunity of co-operating with the - Chamber of Commerce -'here, because. ,farm and town problems are definitely bound together and the commodity as a whole will benefit if •co-operation is achieved. ICommittees such as agri cultural, industrial, merchants, ad- vertising. etc„ are being set up, and lam sure you can expect a :great deal of activity frons then in the months to com:.e."
