Lubbock Newspaper Praises Carrollton
Industry for loan' of C of C Manager
A Lubbock newspaper recently
praised the action of a Carrollton
industrial firm (Otis Engineering
Corp.) for “loaning” one of its
key employees to the Chamber of
Commerce as manager until the
Chamber is financially able to hire
a full-time manager.
The Lubbock paper said, in
part:
“The Carrollton arrangement
would seem to be one which
might well be copied in many
another community, and not nec-
essarily confined only to Cham-
ber of Commerce vacancies.
“In nearly every town or city,
there are people privately em-
ployed who can can step in and
‘take up the slack’ on a temporary
'basis, as was the case in Carroll-
ton.
“The engineering firm which
came to its town’s rescue in the
Chamber of Commerce vacancy
is performing a public service.
Further, by so doing, unquestion-
ably it is gaining prestige and
popularity in the community in
which it is located and, therefore,
of which it is a part.
“The Carrollton incident is one
which might well be remembered
in this area, should similar situa-
tions arise.
“It also is a pleasant example
of the acceptance of responsibility
to an entire community by a
commercial concern which
cast its lot with the town,”
newspaper concluded.
the
(ED NOTE: Otis Engineering
has been cited on • number of
previous occasions for its work
with young people and dealing
with scholarships and Junior
Achievement and other work. It
is this sort of concern that
makes a town bigger and better.
Other business firms might
make a note of this when they
enter a community .. , , not only
to do business, but to play a
part in itl Chain stores have
been extremely lax along these
very same lines).

The regular meeting of the Car-
rollton Lions Club February 20
featured Carrollton Chamber of
Commerce Manager Louis W. Mul-
lenix as guest speaker. The pro-
gram was arranged by D. C.
Mitchell.
In his remarks, Chamber Man-
ager Mullenix pointed out that the
Chamber is people—all kinds of
people. The strength and, there-
fore, the dynamics , of this vehicle
for community development lies
in attracting the greatest number
of individuals and business lead-
ers of Carrollton in the member-
ship. Carrollton, he continued,
has a great number of these
people, who have the ability to
see beyond themselves for the
benefit of the entire community.
One of the factors that has made
Chambers of Commerce an epi-
tome of the free entrprise system
in this country is that it provides
the agency through which local
citizens can pool their energies
and ideas for the growth and
progress of their community.
He concluded that through their
efforts, the members of the Car-
rollton Chamber obtain many di-
rect and indirect benefits. What
is good for Carrollton is shared
by every Carrollton businessman
and individual in this Chamber’s
effort of building the community’s
payrolls and total buying power,
developing goodwill and attract-
ing more customers from the trade
area, and working for the civic
betterment in making Carrollton
a leadership center and a attrac-
tive city.
