Join (lie Chamber of Commerce.
A campaign is now on for mombers
of tho Chamber of Coiumerco and It
is hoped to swell tho momborshlp not
loss than 000. This caniDalcn is be
ing conducted lnrgoly among resldonts
who aro not engaged in business, but
have property. Interests and nro thoro
foro interested in tho future advance
ment of tho city. Tho buslnoss mon
havo already becomo members and
havo contributed to tho budget tho
maRliincont sum of fourteen thousand
dollars, each business man subscrib
ing from fifty to two hundred dollars
each barod on the volume of busi
ness transacted. Tho membership is
divided into two classes, the men ac
tively engaged in buslnoss are classed
as A members, thoso not in buslnoss
are members of tho It class. Each
class has the same privileges with the
one oxcoptlon that Class B mombers
cannot hold office.
In thoso days a commercial organiz
ation Is as necessary for tho buslnos.'
welfare or a city as is business Itself.
During a year hundreds of uucstions,
problems and proportions present
themselves for solution and through r
commercial organization they aro sol
ved. Wero tho citizens acting Individ
ually instead of collectively (and thev
act collectively through' their business
organization) scarcely one of those
problems and propositions would re
ceive any consideration whatever. This
commercial body Is to a town wht
a board of directors Is to any company
or corporation a clearing house for
tho good. Indifferent and bad phases
of commorco.
Tho object of tho North Platte
Chamber of Commerce Is to build up
tho town to lnceaso tho volume of
business transacted, to get enterprises
to locate, to urge pefrplo to build
homos and become permanent resi
dents, to assist in building good roads
and encourage others to help, to stand
behind the city government In public
Improvements, and to feature a better
feeling between seller and buyer.
Thore js not an owner of a home in
North Plntto who cannot afford to take
a Class B membership, which will
cost him live dollars. It Is an invest
ment which will bring him good re
turns in tho growth of the town and
tlio consequent increase in tho
value of his property. But this is not
all. ho has tho satisfaction of knowing
mat no is one of tho many who is do
Ing his part, and doing it effectively.
in making North Platto a bigger and
oettor town.
Tho larger tho membershin of the
Chamber of Commerce the greater Its
influence. Just think what may bo
possible if 500 men in North Platto
nut their shoulders to tlm wlmnl! Tim
fact that Class B memberships have
been placed at so low a figure as fivo
dollars, Is ovidonco. that tho Influonco
and booster spirit of tho homo owner
is really, more desired than his money
tho runner living rdjacent to North
Platto can also well afford to become
a member, for as North Platto crows
In population, tho better market It bo-
comes for his produce; and the neigh
boring farmer should not" bo forgetful
of tho fact that the Chamber of Com-
merco is Improving tho roads which
ho travels, having expended $5,000 in
machinery and work last year, and
will do as-well or even better during
1920.
The Tribune hopes that tho 500 mark
sot by the membership committee will
bo exceeded.
