BOOSTING VOl'H TOW N.
The movement to form what mfght
be claaalflefld as town boosting or
ganizations, which would take Rome
such name as Board of Trade.
Chamber of Oomnmrce, or Business
Men's Association, became quite (ten
ernl 15 years ago. Thousands of
towns and cities formed such organ!
rations along that period. Many of
them proved very successful, otherr
wouUl accomplish a few good things,
and then confine themselves to per
functory activities. They would ap
point a long list of committees th:it
might never meet. Frequently all
that was accomplished was to hold
an annual meeting and dinner.
It Is a difficult matter to run such
an organization on (Ills basis. It may
cost little to belong to It, and It does
not take murh work to keep It run
ning In this routine) way. But people
get tired of societies that don t ac
complish anything. It has proven
true In a number of easoB, that or
ganizations that expect more wor
and more money from their support
ers, would get much better backing.
A movement that starts out in a sys
tematic and energetic manner to pro
moto home town business Interests,
will get solid support In any town
hnvlng community spirit.
A case could be mentioned of a
ChamhT of Commerce that ran for
10 years In a small well known city.
It bad difficulty In getting 150 mem
bers who would nnv nnnunl dues of
$3 each. Iteeently It organized on a
more hopeful basis, and found that
1000 members paying J20 dues each
were enslly secured.
A Chamber of Commerce In an
other small town was so reduced a
?ct ypnnt an that, only five mem
bers attended the annual meetlne,
held In an Insurance man's back of
fice. But when they reorganized on
a tnsls giving reason to expect that
th'ngs would he done, they obtained
TOO members paying dues of $20
each.
