BSSlsSS Off* t and a worker Without
put pose. What Is the HI o" in
ploying a capable man to do work
which his employers do not utilize? It
would he as business-like for a fac?
tory' to run full time building ma?
chinery and then throw the finished
product on the scrap pile. What
purpose is there In having the secre?
tary and the committees spend
months sifting the mass of prospects,
investigating and collecting Informa?
tion to find meritorious enterprises, if,
Whan they finally locate a prospect
that they feel Justified In recom?
mending, it Is passed by without no
ti al The secretary is able to find an
occasional prospect that has merit,
and It is his duty to hi ever on the
alafi for this class of opportunities,
but here his duty and his ability
reach the limit. It then becomes a
matt r for the business nun to
handle as a business proposition, in
? word, the secretary la nothing more
than a scout for the business com?
munity, and when he linds what his
principals desire and has made his
report, he has done all that can be
expected of him. if hli report Is die
regarded he Immediate ly becomes a
uaeless appendage, and it become!
self-evident that the Chamber of
Commerce ? purely ornamental or?
ganization. This shoe fact* ry prop*
