the standpoint of actual results is explained in a four pag-j Utter which is being sent out today by the Chamber of Commerce. All persons to membership will receive this letter, which is as follows: The worst criticism that can be mode about Wilmington Is that Its lusiness, professional and manufacturing interests are not sufficiently organized and working, in harmony. Were to harmonUe sufficiently, these varied interests that stand for the prosperity of Wilmington, combining Jhem into a central fvorklns unit, with the sole purpose of advancing the community's Interest, we would have solved Wilmington's greatest problem. We have never had the personal ii'terest in the Chamber of Commerce that is necessary to makt it as efficient as it should be, and as effective nr. similar organizations in many of our competing cities.

If a company of men organized a business, built a stocked Its shelves with goods, put a clerk In charge and then ignored it, that store would not be a very profitable investment, would it? Precisely these same principles apply to our Chamber of Commerce. A Chamber of Commerce Is the City's business It Is In the business of promoting every interest that leads to a better and more prosperous Wilmington. Support it. with the same intention, attention and interest that you would give to your own private business, and you will find that it will pay you community dividends Just as would a properly-conducted private coucern You cannot maintain an effective Chamber of Commerce with lack of interest, indifference and disinclination to give time, effort and service. The advancement of the community's interest by Industrial, mercantile, civic and agricultural expansion Is the biggest business that this Chamber of Commerce or any citizen within the co-operative limits of this city, can ever hope to engage in.

There are two ways of doing this thing properly. Either the Chamber of Commerce is worthy of the support and cooperation of the business, professional and manufacturing interests of Wilmington or it should not bo continued.

The question of personality does not enter into the pre rent situation whatsoever, as Chamber of Commerce work must of necessity lean toward the advancement of all and not toward that of any class or group of individuals. This Chamber of Commerce question Is, because of the field that It occupies, a direct concern of every citizen in Wilmington. Upon It hinges lis future development and prosperity. With strong, efficient community organization, our city will go steadily forward, and its prosperity will be assured. Without such an 'organization, Wilmington cannot be expected to keep up in the competition prevailing rmong our eastern and western cities.
