"7 am sorry that there is not a large central trade body in Philadelphia
capable of doing for this city what the Chamber of Commerce of Boston
does for Boston'
From an interview with George W. Norris, Director of the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries.
Have the manufacturers of Philadelphia ever considered the make-up of this
Boston organization, at whose activities they look with something akin to envy ?
Have they ever noticed that one of the chief reasons why the Chamber of
Commerce is doing so much for Boston is that the men who are leaders in it are men
who have done much for their own businesses ?
An aggressive organization is only the sum of the aggressive individuals in it.
Examine the list of the officials of the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
The president is Elmer J. Bliss, the head of the Regal Shoe Company a national
advertiser.
The first vice-president is Edward K. Hall, an officer of The American Telephone
and Telegraph Company a national advertiser.
On the board of directors we find:
Henry S. Dennison, of the? Dennison Manufacturing: Co. a national advertiser.
: John S. Lawrence, of the Ipswich Hosiery Co. a national advertiser.
Walter C. Fish, of the General Electric Co. a national advertiser.
Walter M. Lowney, of the Lowney Chocolate Company a national advertiser.
Among the active members of working committees are:
. George F. Willett, of the American Felt Co.-r-a national advertiser. '--'';.
"' - Louis K. Liggett, president of the United Drug Co. a national advertiser.
March G. Bennett, of the Samuel Cabot Co. national advertisers of stains. ;4
E. F. Fobes, president of the New England Confectionery Co. a national advertiser. ; ,;
William H. Bowker, of the Bowker Fertilizer Co. a national advertiser.
;; V. Thomas G. Plant, of Queen Quality Shoes a national advertiser. :
' Thomas M. Fitzpatrick, of Brown, Durrell Co. a national advertiser.
All of these manufacturers are makers of goods of quality which they have
identified with their own names in the minds of the public through national effort.
No amount of organizing, speech-making and slogans can do for a city what its
individual manufacturers will not do for themselves.
Go out and make your own goods famous. f-
r Your goods will then make your city famous.
