MERCE DURING THE PAST YEAR.
Tho writer of this article having
hnd the honor of being appointed sec
retary of tho above organization tem
porarily, and further bolng appointed
chairman of a membership committee,
and having heard tho remark among
sonio of tho business men that the
association was not doing anything.
toward tho upbuilding of North Platte'
nnd vicinity, I have gone over tho
work for tho past year. This Is what
I find:

grounds.

man per concert in giving open air
band concerts. Also committteo ap
pointed to assist them in raising the
balance of the funds.
Entertained Boosters from McCook,
numbering about 100.
Had a very active committee in
pushing court houso bond proposition
and spent $200.00 In cash in support
of tho proposition.

About $1000 spent and an active

Active in promotion of Lincoln High
way bridge: in tho original campaign
of stirlng up interest; in getting tho

ers nnd city council and in carrying
tho bond election. Since tho bonds
havo been voted, there has been a
standing committee which lias assisted
tho county commissioners wherever
they could, making one trip to Lincoln,
and helping right up to the time tne
bid was let.
School conditions of the city taken

Cost $75.00.
Active with" tho local members of
tho Spanish American War Veterans In
securing the 191G convention.
Ono hundred dollars appropriated to
uun (Jluu to entertain visiting mem
bers. j
Outside of th6 above specific things
done by tho association for tho up
building of North Platte, the secretary
has answored from flvo to ton com
munications per day with reference
to the city nnd business interests
therein. For instance, I havo Just re
ceived a Tetter from tho Gcorgo F.
Cram Publishing Co., asking (or five
or sjx half-tones of scones of our city,
anu othor Information, to print In
"Nebraska Review" tfiat they are get
ting out and which will bo distributed
in all parts of the country. This kind
of work 1b important to tho city.
Follow business mon and residents
of North Platte, If the above work is
for the upbuilding of tho city and com
munity, and I am going to leave It to
you to fudge, you will acknowledge
that wo need Btich an organization
as tho Chamber of Commerce. If we
need such an organization, it has to
be supported. Not alono by the busi
ness men, but by everyone that owns
property hero or expects to stay here
and make their homo here. Everyone
living in a town should boost for a
bigger and better town. Do your
neighbors do It?
Alllnnce has a voting population of
a llttlo over 700. Wo have 1200. Al
liance has a membership of 329 mem
bers In their chnmber of commerce,
nearly .half of their voting population.
Alliance raised over $G,000.00 in their
Publicity Fund last year. Through the
efforts of -their organization, they
brought sixteen conventions to that
llttlo city away out there in tho west
ern part Qf the state. Whenever you
meet a man from Alliance, you can
always tell It, becausq the second
word he speaks Is about Alliance. Tho
Alliance Commercial Club organized
the Box Butte County Farm Manage
ment Association, which includes over
200 farmers and they have hired a
farm demonstrator this year.
North Platte can do Just as much
as any town In the state, or any other
state. Let's get together men and
"BOOST FOR A BETTER, BIGGER
NORTH PLATTE."
I sent out the cards calling the men
together to organize this association,
some years ago. I am going to see
it made a permanent success. I am
going to keep tho temporary secre
taryship without renumeratlon until it
Is a success. I am going to make the
man who Is holding back letting the
other man do the work and putting
up tho money, get in and boost. If I
can afford to give the time and at
tention to this work to boost for North
Platte, you certainly can help me.
I am going to put on a membership
campaign, tho exact dates will be
given out later, and I expect every
busines man, professional man, prop
erty owner and resident of this city
to become a member of this assocla
Hon. Then I want every member to
boost. Boost for a bigger, better North
Platte. Let's try it for one. year fellow
citizens;

Ho will In tho near future Improve tho

Mr. Pizor Is showing his faith In
