"Ted" Whitaker, Indust- rial Commissioner, Cit y of Guelph, and eecretarylManager, Guelph Board of Trade, in his recent address to Clinton and Tidstridt Chamber of Commerce, "A Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade has the right to represent your community in matters of business, and also the responsibility," he said, outlining the position of such air organize - tin in a community. The civic government is held responsible by law to consult the Chamber of Commerce. In return, it gives advice on commerce and in- dustry." Worldwide Organization The speaker pointed out that a local Chamber of Commerce is a member of the Onte'rio Chamber' of Commerce, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Brit- ish Empire Federation of Cham- bers of Commerce and Boards of Trade, a n d the International gegmber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce movement dates roughly from 1519; it was an ancient body in close associaitionwith the church. In. Canada, the first Board of Trade was organized in Halifax, NS, in 1749.

Industrial Promotion "No industry wanes to locate hi a community without a live Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce," Mr. Whitaker main- tained. He urged planning for the future in an orderly manner. ' "We "must realize that an hr- dustrial executive is a highly - trained man; a top man does not get there by accident. Industries look and investigate thoroughly before making a move:" Town Planning Touching on the Town Plan- ning movement, Mr. Whitaker defined it as: "ear effort on the partof the people of a muni - Points in Promotion Mr. Whitaker mentionedsev- eral points to bear in mind in connection with industrial pro- motion;' 1—You must, .first of all know what you have to sell; that there is a market for what you have to sell.

You have sewers, water, fire protection and other service facilities. You package it nicely; you must dis- play it to best advantage. ' You must have knowledge of what you are selling. You must know your town thoroughly. "The first thing you must do is to make a survey, either through a committee or one man.

(1) Markets, where he can sell goods; (2) Labour, where he can get a supply of labour; (3). Transportation, where he oan get access to raw materials and markets. If you don't conform to that outline, he won't look et the rest of your advantages. His prime duty is to make his industry an economic success. It is important that he have security for his workers. What is the advent - age of having a plant that stays in business only a year? Value for Tax Money The industrialist is not ter- rifically concerned with the tax rate, but whether or not, the taxes are being well spent. He would ask two questions: "What is your basis of assessment? What are you getting for your . tax money?" Other .things deemed important are fire proteotion, educational facilities, churches. Are your people goodliving people? What is the moral fibre of the com- munity? Churches are of con- siderable importance to the ex- ecutive. Are the homes owned by the people who live in them? If most of them aren't, the con- clusion might be that they have no confidence in the commun- ity, or that the people don't make enough money to buy their own homes. A sound community also includes "e good newspaper and financial institutions. 1VIr. Whitaker stated that some municipalities spent a great deaf of money to attract industries. The City of Brandon, Man., with 20,000 population, raised $20,000 a year for three years, $3,500 being a grant from the city and the re maining $16,500 raised from the merchants. Value of an Industry "Here 'is how I would value an industry employing 50 people. Tt is worth approximately $15,000,- 000," Mr, Whitaker maintained. "How did I arrive at that figure'? Its. payroll would be at least 3100,000 a year, which would turn over ten tunes do a year. The average life Is ten years, making $10,000,000. Its auxiliary services, employing 25 more, would bring the total up to $15,000,000. Assistance in Survey A ,tremendous amount of as- sistance is available in compiling a survey. The two railways -- CNR and CPR—will give every assistance within their power. If the •CNR is losing money on thio line, then it would only be too happy to see something there. The chartered 'banks maintain industrial departments and will provide help. The Ontario Government is ready to help. The Department of Planning and Development won't do anything for you unless you do something for yourself. There are 343 municipalities in Ontario but only about 60 are registered; "Olinton is one of them. The Federal Government also will help. Existing Industry , "To whom should your primary consideration be given? The first duty is to help develop existing industry. In seeking outside industries, Mr. Whitaker advised against giving anything free, but make them pay the same as industries already established in the town. Not one cent of taxes should be rebated, but they should be given full value for their taxes. In securing industries, com- mercial travellers can be of greet help in providing tips. Your own executives meet with people who might be on the inside. Every person in the community should be alive to development. 100 Prospects "I deal with 100 prospects to every one I get," Mr. Whitaker said. 'It's a heartbreaking job. We may not get it this year or in five years. You've got to read between the lines; you've got to travel a hit. A letter is not near- ly as effective as a call. Be sure to thank everyone who helps, no natter how small the part to securing the industry. "Retailers should be alive all the time •to hear of industrial development. In answer to a question from R. S. Macaulay; "What kind of industry would be suitable for this community?", Mr, Whitaker said that this is primarily an ag- ricultural community, shipping a tremendous quantity of livestock. It would follow that an industry associated with agriculture would be the natural one. In conalusien he advised that the industrial area be as ribose to the railway as possible. 0 The word "spud" for potatoes comes from an old organization called.
