SIIOPE------------------------------------ Business Manager PUBLISIIEI) EVERY WEDNESDAY. BOARD OF TRADE A TOWN BUILDER. When a town is like a cow's tail-growing downward it needs a board of trade. No town that aspires to DO THINGS can afford to he without a good, live board of trade or some similar organization. The board of trade is to the town what the aggressive advertisement is to the business man-it p)uts all of the telling points prominently before the prospective custo mer'.. A live board never sleeps. It is always alive to the p)ossibility of adding another citizen and another enter prise to -the community. And that is what builds your town-the adding, one by one, of p~eople and enterprises. Men who DO THINGS-live wires-do not locate in a town unless there are inducements. That is the one great work 'of your board of trade to CREATE inducements; to bring about conditions that wvill attract desirable enterprises and desirable citizens. Ma nufacturers, dealers, business men are constantly on th.e alert for LIVE towns in which to locate their enterp~rises. In the great majority of cases these enterprises are largely dependent on the cooperation and encouragement of the citizenship of the town and surrounding country for supplort. If that is given, the town adds the prop~osed e nterp~rise to its list, If it is withheld, the enterprise PASSES BY and goes to the town that DOES cobperate and support. But just getting together and organizing a board of trade and then becoming absorbed in our own affairs is not going to turn the trick. No board can put a town on the map without the hearty cooperation of the citizenship of the town and country side. Not only should every enterprising man be an active 'member, but each should consider himself p~ersonally pledged to uphold the organization in every way. tJust a concrete illustration: A citizen of the town of S--and one from the town of C-- are conversing' with a chance traveling ac quaintance. The traveler mentions that he is desirous of locating a site for a manufacturing plant. The man from S-- passes the remark by as of no concern to him, but the man from C- at once scents a prospec tive enterprise for his own town. He engages the pros .plect in conversation, gets his plans and a knowledge of his requirements, takes his address, and upon returning public in genei Chandler Clot from his esta he same high p nue d confideno Lenever they fa very liberal continuance o: 1er G UMTER, S.
