Show THE EFFICIENT I . ORGANIZATION! An example of how a great organization organ-ization Is mndo etfectlvo by tho firm stand of tho men at tho helm is found In the work of President Kos-tor Kos-tor of tho Snn Francisco Chamber of Commerce. Ills practical nnd courageous way of thinking has made Its impression for sound business conditions In tho affairs of that stale nnd has been felt by all tho states In tho west. He demands that prominent and active buslne3s men go to tho bnt nnd play fair ball with capital and labor, never losing sight of tho fact that without adhoicnce to law nnd order society goes Into chaos. In a recent statement ho hit the nail on tho head: "So many men who might mnke themselves worth while Influences fall to'realtze their I own obligation. Tiiey aro prono to I look upon commercial organizations Ins things apart from themselves." "They entirely overlook tho fact .that those who give themselves up for service In and through such organizations or-ganizations are ordinary human beings be-ings like themselves. I "Such organizations are Instruments Instru-ments of value only to tho degree that they represent the afllrmatlvo attitude and Influence of tho Individuals Indivi-duals who compose them." The fact remains that only under good leadership does tho organization become a power and contribute to tho enlightenment of tho community n upon matters of gcnernl practical nd- vantage. j ' No greater Influence was over cro- ated to hold community tendencies i t to n truo American course than tho t San Francisco Chamber of Commerco under Frederick J. Kostcr nnd his i ' associates. : t |
