Chamber of
Commerce Drive
for Members
Important to Development of City
That All Classes of Citizens
Find Place of Duty.
The drive for membership In the
senior Plattsmouth Chamber of Com
merce is now being launched and the
committee in charge is finding a most
favorable reaction to the appeal for
membership.
With a membership united in effort
the city's best interests can be ma
terially advanced and it is with this
tn view that the drive is now being
bandied.
The committee has prepared ten
reasons for membership which points
out in a clear cut manner just what
the Chamber of Commerce means to
the community:
First: Its Purpose--
The Chamber of Commerce Is or
ganized to forward those public In
terests, civic and commercial, which
have long been neglected because
"everybody's business is nobody's
business." The sole object of the acts
of the Chamber of Commerce is the
public's good.
Second: Its Membership
Because membership In the Cham
ber of Commerce is open to everybody
without distinction of any sort a
democratic institution In the best
sense of the word: The town meeting
restored.
Third: Its Method
Free speech and open-handed deal
ing are employed on the public ques
tions large and small, which arise in
the community.
Fourth: Cooperation
Membership In the Chamber of
Commerce shows your sympathy with
an organized effort to better of the
city, and life within it. The things
that are worth doing are brought to
successful issue, only through united
demand and interest.
Fifth: Your Duty
If a man can afford $5 to join the
Chamber of Commerce, It is a public
fluty to make that contribution for
the development of Plattsmouth.
Sixth: Reacts on You
A man in business is broader and
more successful when he has a more
active Interest in municipal affairs,
civic and commercial.
Seventh: A Chance to Work
As a member of the Chamber of
Commerce you are afforded an oppor
tunity to work for the conditions you
have, as. a good citizen, long hoped
for: You can help things happen.
Eighth: You Get Out
What You Pnt la
If one gives his best efforts he is
justified in looking for results favor
able to himself, material and ethical.
lie profits in dollars and cents
through the increased prestige of his
city; but best of all in personal satis
faction at having come out of his
own shell of self-interest and broad
ened his horizon.
Ninth: For Future Generations
He is a small man, if not mean,
who cares only for his own success
and for the prosperity of his own
generation alore. Therefore, the
broad-mi'Hled cftizen seaks to any
M::iself wl;h these forces which are
building the city of the lutrrc. for
his children, and his children's chil
dren.
Tenth: In Short
The Chamber of Commerce move
ment ought to prove a big impetus to
the growth of the city in every
phase of its life. Don't you want to
have part In this?

VISIT AT FRANKLIN
Attorney W. A. Robertson and
Robert M. Walling, of the Thomas
Walling Abstract Co., are spending
a short time at Franklin in the
southwest part of the state on a com
bined business and pleasure trip.
Many years ago in the eighties the
Franklin Land Co., was organized
and a great deal of land sold and
interest raised through eastern Ne
braska over the prospects for the fu
ture in the comparatively new coun
try near the Republican river. Among
those interested in land there was
James M. Robertson, who had not
long before arrived from his native
land of Scotland to become interested
in the rock and quarry business as
well as Thomas Walling, a young
man from Wales who had come to
the new world to seek his fortune.
Both of these men located at Frank
lin for a time but Mr. Robertson soon
returned to Lincoln and later at
Louisville to engage in the sand and
gravel business. Mr. Walling, how
ever, remained at Franklin for a
longer time until locating at Platts
mouth. Their sons find the visit at
Franklin interesting for the senti
mental touch of the one time asso
ciations of their fathers.
