CHAMBER of COMMERCE WEEK
"Chamber of Commerce Week" was estab-
lished to bring all Canadians a concept of the
role of the local Board of Trade or Chamber of
Commerce in community building for the nation-
al good. Here are cells of democracy—independ-
ent and vigorous—binding citizens together to
make their communities better places in which
to live and in which to earn a living. Board and
Chambers can truly be called the conscience and
the will of their communities. The conscience to
see and recognize the needs of the community and
thewill to take effective action. It has been well
said that a community is poor in purse and poor
in purpose that has not a strong vital and active
Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce.
11 Reasons Why I Should Be a
Member of the Chamber
of Commerce
1. Because I have a business stake in this community
which can best be safeguarded by working with others
through the Chamber of Commerce to protect and ad-
vance all business. I help insure this community's
progress which in turn insures the success of my busi-
ness.
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 protection and com-
munity 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 cannot be paid iii
taxes, a debt of personal service.
6. Because the Chamber of Commerce cannot parry out
its broad program of work to protect and advance busi-
ness without personal service and adequate financial
support.
7. Because the Chamber of Commerce unifies the public
spirit of all and directs itinto 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 Com-
merce 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 community wel-
fare and development. I believe the Chamber of Com-
merce is the central organization adequately equipped
to do this work.
11. Because the most effective and constructive influence
is the...force of organized business functioning through
the Chamber of -Commerce for the purpose of improv-
ing our town. We can through organized effort make
the kind of town we determine it shall be.
