"9 Xk i o the Business men of Philadelphia Have you ever had near to your business a great question, vitally important, which has been de cided by unbusiness legislators against what you know are the rights of your trade? Have you felt the futility of an effort against it, even by the concerted force of your own par ticular trade body? Suppose the voice of your trade were augmented by the voice of a Great Chamber of Commerce and backed by a thorough investigation by inter ested but capable and unbiased business judges! What a difference! What a difference in your selection of men to make your laws and their attentive attitude to your needs. This Bank is decidedly in favor of the Great Chamber of Commerce, and it calls on all of its customers and friends to support the movement with enthusiasm.
