Mm. Dr. J. R. Jordan entertained | Miss Josephone Stevens,
“We are asked many questions
regarding the plans for the ex
pansion of the Amcricus and
Sum-er County Chamber of
Com-merce and what it will be
like,” said General Foster, the
campaign manager, this morn
ing. “Some of those most gener
ally asked are, for instance,
‘Why should Americus have a
Chamber of Commerce?’ ‘What
can the Chamber of Commerce
o?‘ 'Can it become a permanent
institution?’ ‘How will it be fi
nanced?’
“Let me take up the first ques
tion, answering the others at an
other time. A growing commu
nity needs an organization of
the character of a Chamber of
Commerce. It needs it because
it will bring the citizens togeth-
cover from the act implishments
of a well organized Chamber of
Commerce that he does have a
margin of time to devote to his
community.
“Unserfiish service, the step
next takep when men work to
gether every day for the com
mon cause, is the best invest
ment a man can make.
“A well organized Chamber of
Commerce brings immediate and
tangible rewards to a community
and its people. The storekeeper,
the mill owner, the lawyer, the
physician, the neighboring agri
culturist w.ll* sense the useful
ness of a good Chamber of Com
merce. It builds up the business
of the city and the pride of its
inhabitants in it by making a
better place to work in and to
live in. The cities where living
and working conditions are
pleasant, always grow.”
and energy of the whole citizen
ship. It is hardly necessary to
point out the menace of a dis
organized factory to the indus
trial life of the city where it is
located. Such a factory is a lia
bility. An unorganizezd com
munity is a liability to the na
tion.
“No man or women lacks a
margin of time and strength be
yond the daily activities to give
to his or hefr community. Not
withstanding this fact those who
are doing things are constnatly
hindered by the response of the
citizen when asked to perform
some service for the common
good, that he is too busy with
his own affairs.
“Such a citizen will soon dis-
er to do the things the city and
surrounding country desire to
havo done.
“This coming together arouses
discussion of the multifarious
problems o fthe community; it
suggests things to be done that
no one has ever thought of be
fore; it creates a united force
which can always be relied upon
stand behind the individual seek
ing tb have things done but Who
cannot get them done alone.
Discussion naturally leads to the
discovery of the ways and means.
“This is what we mean by
the creation of the spirit of en
terprise. Once acquired no com
munity will permit this spirit to
die.
“Again, a well-manned, a
well-planned Chamber of Com
merce furnishes the mechanism
