FOUR-LEGG- 91 68 5 :35 7 :31 ESTABLISHED The time has arrived whqp the citizens of thl community should get together ia a strong and efficient movement to advance the civic, industrial, commercial and economical welfare of Provo and the Utah valley. The Provo Commercial dab Is in process of reorganisation and expansion to meet this need. ' The future commercial and civic progress of our community, is, in n large measure, dependent on the successful outcome of this plan to unite Provo and tho Utah valley in a civic, commercial organisation, equal to those of communities in its class. Recognizing the magnitude of such a movement and the necessity of assuring permanent results, we have engaged the services of the American City Bureau, n national organization, now serving over 450 progressive cities in the United States. Through scientific direction and expert consultation and research assistance over n period of three years, we are assured an organization built along the broadest, most comprehensive and efficient lineal In accordance with recommendations of the Chamber of .Commerce of the United States a feature of the new plan will he dues of $20 per year. This will stabilize the organization and permit of more extensive work which will make tho membership fee a community investment yielding substantial results. To permit an entirely free expression of the wishes of both the old and the new members in. the administration of the new and enlarged community organization, the officers and directors of the Commercial club have tendered their resignations to take effect at the conclusion of this reorganization. One of the striking features of the new plan is the extremely democratic system of control which willbe explained to the public in future publicity. .If Provo is to have a Chamber of Commerce which will permit it to forge ahead to that position of leadership which it as a community deserves, it is necessary that we prepare for the future by banding ourselves together and begin to work NOW. We feel that we arc too few to undertake this program and have therefore named several committees to whom authority of the is given to carry out this task. We bespeak the entire community to assist them. , Provo is your home and oars. Ws want you to Join bauds with us for a bettor, busier and bigger community. BOARD OF DIRECTORS, PROVO COMMERCIAL CLUB.
