Armed witli fiuis and flgures und methods of procedure tlie or¬ ganization of a ( lianilier o[ Com¬ merce along th,' iiio-t modern lines and approved imihml.i .«eemed to Ije a mere matiei' of getting the local business men and othera in¬ terested. This as it proved was no great task and tlie .Nazareth Chamber of Commerce stands to¬ da.v tl) beeoiiu' an ais.irod fact, with the hackiiitr of a large si.'ttion of our in influiMitfiil atui iiroinineiit cltizeiiH. eager to sif iliis coinmun- ity grow in in Inst ry iind popii- latiim to a sizi- limited only liy their efforts, there is every reason to believe that the Chamber of Commerce will become one of the greatest (actors (or good in tlie history o( tlie town.
The oflicers and members do not expect that great changes or gi¬ gantic steps forward will be taken overnight. Real indu-itrial growth backed by adequati' tinancial sup¬ port, ia a matter of slow growth but It is essential that industrial growth and flnancial support be sought and (urthered. A deflnite program carefully planned and outlined is surely tn prove of more value to this town than a hap-haz- ard scheme of trusting tn someone to come along and find us. With most of the towns and cities of the country organized and seeking for people to locate industries and build homes In the'r borders tt Is filgh time that N'azareth sbould take the same measures to attract business in this direction.
The organizers of the Nazareth Chamber will hold a meeting nn February 11 at the Nazareth Y. M, C. A, at which time all the new members wilt be present and a speaker from the Allentown Cham¬ ber of Commerce will address them on th% subject of organiz¬ ation and conduct of a modern trade board. The growth and success of Allentown In the past few .years is attributed to but one thing—«ii active board of trade. Th* speaker will tell th* local pcopi* how tb* Chamber ot Com- m*rc* la AU*ntown has tunetlon*d to bring tbat city (rom tb* SA.900 population class to a city of over 100.000.
