Salt Lake City, Utah a COMMERCIAL CLUB DRIVE Among all drives for funds, the Chamber of Commerce campaign for advertising is most meritorious and stands supreme over all. Advertising is the mecca of progress and thrift and.no man should be blind to his own welfare. Hide not your candle under a bushel, but let the world see your light. The Commercial Club only asks for $75,000 and this small sum ought to be easily collected. Every man and woman who wishes to see this city become a greater city, and our fair state take its rightful place in the Union, must get behind this drive with vim and it will be put over in two or three days, and it should have the unanimous support of every progressive citizen of the state. The drive will begin the morning of December 5th, next Monday morning, under the able leadership of W. H. Lovesy, general chairman for the. Chambers Program of Progress for 1 928. Prominent business men will lay aside their personal business for the time being and devote their energies to secure the advertising funds and The Citizen hopes that the people will respond with alacrity to this most "worthy cause. Salt Lake Citv has no alibi to offer. Our state is endowed with the richest mineral wealth of the known world and our agriculture holds its own against all competition. For climatic conditions we hold an envious position, and our central location upon the Scenic Highway of America gives us an advantage among our sister states. This city has no extremes in weather. Our winters are mild and our summer evenings cool; we have no winter blizzards; we have no destructive cyclones, nor earthquakes; our pure jnountain streams provide the most ideal culinary water in the nation, and our people are the happiest on earth. Then what more can man ask? Why not let the world know about these things? & Why be selfish and keep all these good things hidden from the world? We need more payrolls here ; we need more smoke stacks. We have the coal, unlimited electrical energy, big gas and coke supply, all of which is essential to turn the wheels of industrial progress. Then why sleep on the job? We should congratulate ourselves that the present Chamber of Commerce is wide awake, and that there are a few of our business men "who are willing to undertake the extra work to make us more successful and thereby place more bliss into our Jives. savage lies dormant, satisfied with an. easy and lazy ilife, The but the up and going and progressive people are the ones tising our great industrial pursuits, our mineral storehouse, and our ideal climate, will the world come to realize the many excellent opportunities we have for advancement and enjoyment. Everybody ought to get behind this drive. Fellow citizens let us put our shoulders to the wheel and make the Chamber of Commerce advertising drive the big success it is deserving. This is no time for slackers, and for heavens sake, dont ask the other fellow to pay your way in this world. ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE Memorial services of the Salt Lake Lodge No. 85, B. P. 0.
