VPc Vaui EVERYBODY WORKS! NOBODY SHIRKS IN IUUI THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE! The Unselfish Service which you and a large body of loyal citizens will give in out the program of work of the REORGANIZED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE will the future and prosperity of Manhattan. THE FIVE CARDINAL PRINCIPLES OF A MODERN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE i 1 Adequate Income The $25.00 memberHliip fee and a pledge for three years Is (ho accepted standard of the modern Chamber of Commerce of this country. The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce will require an income of at least $8,000.00 per year. 320 memberships will provide this Income. Plural Membership Plan Hanks, larger merchants, industrial corporations and wealthy individuals subscribe for more than one membership and assign their surplus memberships to individuals.

Every member has one vole, and the bank or corporation only one vote. 2 Trained Management The modern Chamber of Commerce requires a full-time, salaried Manager, trained in the modern methods of organization and conlrol. The management of a Chamber of Commerce Is today a profession and this position commands salarler ranging from $2,000.00 to per year, according to the sfe of the organization. 3 Program of Work The purposes of the organization are clearly staled in the Program of work, made up from the carefully considered suggestions of tho entire membership and It is the substance of the best thinking that the entire membership can offer. A comprehensive Program of Work, managed scientifically, makes a Community Association of this kind a tremendously efficient force.

Under this plan the Directors can "direct" and tho President becomes a real executive officer. 4 An Active Membership The KM UK ItS elect the directors. The KM ItKlfS create the Program of Work. The MK.MIiKliS acting on committees carry out the Program of Work. The MKMBKltS decide by referenda, all questions of tho policy of the organization and the vital interests of the community.

5 A System of Committee Organization and Control Under this plan the committee service becomes scientific. Members express their individual interests and tho men who wish to see a project put through are appointed on a committee to undertake tho task. Each task Is carefully analyzed; there is money in the treasury for the necessary expenses; behind tho committee Is the intelligent support of the office force and the officers of the organization; regular supervision converts spasmodic effort Into steady advance. Are You a Citizen of Manhattan Or Do You JUST LIVE in Manhattan THINK IT OVER! A Chamber of Commerce Embodying These Five Principles Gets Results 1 ZZZ i.
