CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
T our town cannot be run by
wishes. It takes work and planning,
and your local Chamber of Com-
merce is the proper organization to
plan the activities of your town.
Como to the meetings and do your
share of the work and planning and
let’s accomplish more than wishes.
Your President is a good one, your
Directors are all fine business men,
bue it is going to take more than
your President and Directors to put
over a worthwhile piece of work for
Bonham. It will take the combined
efforts of these officers, together
with every member of the organiza-
tion if our best work is to be done.
If you are a member of the Bonham
Chamber of Commerce, or if you
should be a member, you should be in.
your place at 7:30 Tuesday in the
office on East 4th street. Can we
count on you being in your place?
President McClure makes his
meetings short and snappy. He will
dismiss you by 9:00 P. M. Surely
you can spare one hour and thirty
minutes for the good of your town
and community.
