"It isn't the individual, nor the army
as a whole, but the everlastin team'
work of every bloomin soul "-Kipling
There is a logical reason for most things that happen.
The. onrush to the Pacific Northwest was the case be
cause of a great awakening on the part of the people East
to the many advantages peculiar to the West.
With the mad rush westward the growth of Portland with its doubling population almost each decade was
a natural consequence, for grander place to live has no man. The log cabin was not long the popular dwelling
homes more and more attractive were built. Its industries grew. Its wholesale and retailing institutions prospered.
And today Portland is a Great City!
This, then, is the moment to sound the call to arms, for "peace hath her victories no less than war." This is
the time when the "everlastin teamwork of every bloomin soul" will count.
We are happy in, and proud of, Portland. But, alas, we must not hesitate. This is not the moment to ex
press satisfaction at accomplishments of the past.
een
This is the day to realize the possibilities within our grasp to accomplish and achieve what has hitherto
but a dream it must, it will be GREATER PORTLAND! s
And how are we to line up for the achievement of this task? Vho will be the "shock" troops who will
man the trenches in the reserves let us hope there will be none.
Some citizens show an occasional burst of civic pride only5 when quoting an exaggerated figure as the pop
ulation of their city. Far better be one of those who help along in the big work of planning of solving the prob
lems that -will make the exaggerated "estimated" population one soon to be a fact, yes, and far surpassed!
There is room for you to line up with the fighters the doers. You will experience a feeling of grand satis
faction in being associated with the men who are determined to do big things and really to bring about a "Greater
Portland." -
Your Chamber of Commerce wants you in its ranks. It needs you.
And you and everyone of us need the things for which the Chamber of Commerce will direct its efforts.
Three hundred new. members is their goal. Three thousand should rush to enlist in the grand work!
If you are not a member, today is the time to join. If already a member, get two or three others to join.
It was organization under centralized leadership that won the great triumph over autocracy. And organiza
tion will bring to a realism our vision GREATER PORTLAND. '
