it had 72 members. At the end of its second month. on March 31st, It has 106 members, fully paid up. Every cent of expense has been paid, and there is a healthy sum in the treasury. This speaks mighty well for Deming.

Not. having had one here for so many years, some peopie did'nt think it could be done. In fact Robert Athon was pointedly told by some business men that be was wasting his time in trying to organize here. He kept right on, and the present organization speaks for itself. There are very few business houses that are not members, and many of these who held out at first have joined, and more are joining every day.

Why any should hod out is hard to conceive. The Chamber of Commerce is doing some real things for Deming. It will soon put a new attractive folder into the mails, that will do more to advertise this town, than anything that has ever been done. If it succeeds (and it will) in bringing health seekers and Tourists Into the town, there is not a single business that will not prosper. It's up to every man and woman to get behind an organization that has dy shown itself as a live, up-and-combody of public spirited men and women.

There will be something done here this summer that will pour crowds into Deming every Saturday, starting about the first or middle of May. Every member of the Chamber of Commerce, will cast in on this day each week. Better join up and get into the bunch of real go-getters. Mrs. Howard Bird of Denver is the guest of Mrs.
