Jgny one of several banks in Fort
Worth.
i ■ When I had the privilege of address-
•|ng a fathering of the leading finan-
t»i»l ‘and business men of San Antonio
It strongly urged that this weakness
he remedied for several forward look-
ling business men had complained to
me that they were compelled to go
'elsewhere for banking accommodations
they should be getting at home.
They also pointed out that they hes-
itated to take part in bringing to the
iity sizable enterprises because of the
: inadequacy of local lines of credit
Bank amalgamations are needed in
'many cities.
Almost every western and southern
:«ity lays claim to being an ideal health
. and holiday resort. You find such
biaces in the most unexpected corners.
They wonder why more people of
■means do not come.
!• Well I can eite one reason that
;|pp!ies to many; they do not have a
.palatial modern powerfully attractive
hotel- Their hotels as a rule are ordi-
narily good but usually they are ait-
I Bated In the heart of the eity and are
keyed to eater to commercial people
rather than to the well-to-do tourists
and health seekers especially wanted.
Sen Antonio is thus circumstanced
an are scores of other places noted for
' |heir health giving climates. Quite a
| Dumber of communities are building
■excellent hotels calculated to draw the
| glasses wanted.
. “San Antonio needs to do the same.
■ Of what avail is It to possess all sorts
1 of advantages and attractions if out-
’ kiders be kept in ignorance of them.
QUOTES OCHSE.
*' William Ochse head of a pheno-
i onenally successful drug manufacture
' Ing and distributing concern and one
; «f the most progressive and public
I tsprited local citizens offers this sug-
gestion applicable to many other com-
' ^mnnities:
I “The citizens of San Antonio should
। <support a campaign to create a fund
t iof not less than $250000 a year to
' ifinsnee the right kind of activities
( by the Chamber of Commerce an ad-
• ivisory council representing the out-
Jlsaanding business men of the city.
। .should be created to co-operate with
< the officers of the chamber so that se-
ction essential to the energetic pru-
| dent well balanced development of the
. .city may be effectively organized and
•'intensely pushed.’
! I NEED AD FUND.
J Community and state advertising
.is becoming so general that laggards
1 run grave risk of being left behind
' '.in the modern procession. Lights hid-
I den under bushi-b do not radiate very
i far or very effectively.
Two things San Antonio needs and
J Jit is not alone in this regard are a
.forceful on the job financially strong
11 chamber of commerce and a wortb-
-I'while advertising fund.
J' New England is being held back by
~ the existence of a great many men
i who have attained through inherit-
'' ance or otherwise so much money that
J | they are now easy-going indifferent
11 unambitious caring little whether
• ■ their own business or their own com-
J J munity grows or not.
~ Too many other places are suffering
< । from the same benumbing light. Men
' ■ who have grown rich mainly because
) their community has grown are too
. I lazy and too callous to exert them-
i selves to push forward the further
J' expansion and prosperity of their*
| towns.
i “Let well enough alone" they say.
[ ■ What they really mean is “I’ve got
mine I should worry about you young-
er fellows who are keen to make your
l way in the world."
| San Antonio. I am given to under-
< stand has its share of such men. In
[ some other cities you hear “what we
Ji need is a few first class funerals.”
In Britain there is the keenest
i 1 competition among socially ambitious
I' families to be admitted to the peerage.
! once admitted they resent newcomers
' ■ attaining equal rank.
Do some of our elderly citizens who
have reached millions redom have a
1 like attitude?
Happily it seems to be the rule of
this world that magnanimity pays
the best dividends in both dollars and
happiness in the long run.
