and today we have thirty seven who are still with us not so good a showing as I 1 should like to see sec why a decrease instead of an ail increase in ili members why should it not have been in an increase and a large one too for who vrho can say that the club lias has not accomplished good luring during its two years of existence none I 1 believe for you all linow know that we ve liae haie ghen our city such advertising as she has bas never had beffie and especially have our lucious poaches peaches for brigham is becoming famous been pushed to the front and they are aie ai e now sought after by the markets of our country then too there has through the efforts of the club in ill connection with our ladies auxiliary been created a more united feeling socially commercially and oth otherwise ernise than did exist before we were organized through our efforts too I 1 believe we are a more loyal and pa sentiment amongst man many of our citizens for their own town and they are beginning to reel feel that brig liam is alright ind and why they because we have one ol of the most beautiful little cities in the west and it might be one or of the best it if we would but got get together and boost boost boost then that our club of which I 1 am justly proud mig might ait more fully and thoroughly fill the mission for which it was organized I 1 won would suggest to all our who have become cold and indifferent that you thaw yourselves out become workers instead or of drones and kickers some members have dt decided aided that the club is of no particular benefit to them and have consequently drop fed out entirely but in lochius such buell 71 members as those these I 1 do not reel feel that we should have any regrets whatever for it if anyone feels that the club has purpose licen been for no other purpose than to benefit its individual luem bers in ili 1 a I dhert way ind and not lot tile the city as a whole lie he Is travelling tra velling on a too narion gauge track to belong to any commercial organization and I 1 can call but express pity for all such and especially ally is any city or town in a sar sad state stale when its business deop people le are so naTi naTIO WIY constructed to accomplish anything that shall improve or benefit our city and make 01 our ir organization strong we must first of all be united then be road broad and liberal in our views being always willing to lay aside personal feelings for the general good of the city in which we live for I 1 earnestly believe that there always is and always will and must bo be personal sacrifices if i any community boosting or public improvements aie made and we should be willing to do this for who will boost for us if we do not boost tor for oui ourselves selves I 1 c eliom can we ire look to improve and beautify beautia our city but we its citizens so I 1 would say to all members men ibers of this organization abiouse yourselves buckle on the lie armor of enthusiasm so completely that it will electrify your whole being get together lie united have faith in your home town let biggham Bilg liam city be your slogan both morning noon and night wherever you might be and then I 1 want to tell you that the box elder commercial club will be an important factor in our city for good 9 and I 1 now feel that DrIg brigham harn is beginning to move onward and tit upward and my earnest wish and desire Is that this club shall do ill all in Us its power to see that she continues to move on and on until she shall lie be known to be by tar far the best city of its size in the
