A CITY PROSPERS BY COMMUNITY-WIDE COOPERATION A COMPILATION OF ALIBIS WHICH HAVE BEEN GIVEN FOR NOT INVEST ING IN THE COMMUNITY'S FUTURE THROUGH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEMBERSHIP. Case No. 1 "No time for it" >. You don't have time to answer hundreds of requests for information or help bring an industry into town either, do you? But you know it is being done. If you are unable to support with both time and money, it. is especially important for you to fiancially cooperate with your fellow businessmen who are takihg time out from their business to help you. Case No. 2 "Too many organizations" The Chamber ol Commerce organization is unique. It is a partner to every business and every j citizen. You belong in it as long as you are in business in this city for you are benefiting from its activities and should shoulder a part of the operating expenses. What investment is more impor tant to you as a business or professional man and citizen than such a comparatively small one in ; Our Town’s progress and prosperity. Case No. 3. "I'm a professional man" Your greatest asset is your location in a prosperous growing community, where new people are constantly moving in, and the economic level is high. That is the objective of any Chamber of Com merce Your income is derived from activity within Our Town and needs and benefits by the activi ties of the Chamber of Commerce, Case No. 4 "Just a branch office Having ..opened a branch here is proof that your company considers this a good plase to do busi ness. This is your home, and you, as a branch, benefit from Chamber activity. Possibly you have replaced an independent business that did support the Chamber. Which is all the more reason you should contact your home office and secure its membership. Your first job should be to make your self part of the community and the way to do this is by identifying yourself with the leading com munity organization. Case No. 5 "We do our business outside of our town" Yes, but don’t you make full use of our facilities? You wouldn’t call an out-of-town police or fire department, or make use of out-of-town utilities, and aren't your family, and friends, and interests here? You are a part of the community after all, and the Chamber of Commerce needs your support in its efforts to make it a still better community. Case No. 6 "Can't afford it" We are not asking you to give away money, but to make an investment. Your return is the con tinued growth and prosperity of our community. The membership dues (which are tax deductible under business expense* amount to so little a day such a small amount that you can’t afford not to 1 belong. Case No. 7 "Maybe later" No town-or business-ever stands still; you either proceed or recede. Other cities are active NOW competing for trade territory, industries, new business, better highways, more housing, flood pro tection, and everything else that will make them better, more prosperous and more pleasant places in which to live. Your “later” may be too late. Case No. 8 "It's run by a clique" The members of the Chamber of Commerce govern their organization under a set of By- Law’s by which they hold a direct election each year. These names are an answer to any argument of cliques or factions. Case No. 9 "I'm just a little fellow" The best way to get your business larger is to prperly support the Chamber of Commerce . . . more industries, more residents, more tourists, more people shopping in Our Town wall mean more business for you. The Chamber is working to promote all of these things (in addition it affords valuable contacts with your fellow’ citizens and business people). Case No. 10 "Not interested" This cannot be true because you ARE interested in Our Town, you ARE interested in the prosperity of business, and >ou ARE interested in commercial and industrial progress reacting favorably upon your business. Thus, you MUST be interested in the promotional program of the Chamber of Com merce. IN ANY CASE There is a place for every business and professional man on the Chamber of Com merce. THE CHAMBER PROVIDES THE NECESSARY CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH ACTION (AN BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE AND BUILD THE COMMUNITY. AND, IT DEVELOPES CON* STIil CTIYE LEADERSHIP IN THE HOME TOWN.
