Our group organizations are evidence that the drt,aaist, the grocer, the professional man and the busmess men 10 general are convinced. that the go-italone policy is neither satisfactory nor profitable, and that in numbers there is strength. Group discussions bring together combined experiences not to be personally gained by one man in a lifetime. A Chamber of Commerce is a group of citizens, business and professional men, banded together for business and civic betterment of a community, of a state and of a nation. Identification with such a group is a recognition that association with others, producing or distributing the commodities of life, enables one, through group action, to do things which he could not afford to do alone. Moreover, suspicion and injurious ..cutthroat" competition give way to a spirit of friendly co-operation and mutual confidence. Eacoaraaeslaitiatin "Membership in a Chamber of Commerce," writes a great business leader, ..involves neither loss of identity as an individual nor of initiative in the profitable development of a member's own enterprises. On the contrary, he is stimulated to great initiative. He is ·instructed in more effective business methods through the mutual exchange of experience. By joining forces with a commercial group he copes more effectively with the needs of his industry, business, or profession, in research, in contact with local, national and international problems, in foreign competition, in overcoming fogy notions and , beliefs and in outlawing abuses within industry, without waiting for ambitious statecraft to set up a cry, 'there ottaLiaka ia Nalioul Chaia "Our Chambers of Commerce are linked together in a great tlational organization, with headquarters at Washington and from there branching out to the state chambers and then to the chambers of our cities and villages, each co. -operating with the other in an orderly and rythmic manner in matters in which we, as individuals, are or should be most interested. By acting intelligently together we can make our business what it ought to be and place it upon a basis more satisfactory and sure than it ever has been or ever can be while we work in ignorant, independent rivalry. "We must each forget our individual peeves, 'throw away our hammer and get a horn,' let CO-OPERATION be our watch-word and the misunder~ standing of unfair and selfish competition will crumble in the dust before the onrush of an army of banded-together friendly citizens, business and professional men who have agreed that, 'United .we stand, di,·ided we fall.'
