WART TO TALK FACTORY PLANS (Continued From Page 1) successful in their own businesses and personal affairs in the community. Besides the officers and directors, are numbers of unselfish men and women serving as committee members with no thought except the general welfare. “You are absolutely right in making an appeal for a greater and more sustained loyalty of citizens to agencies nsututed for doing the very thi you urge. The Chamber of Comi arce has a long list of worthy complishments behind it and is no v at work on others. “One C the greatest difficulties the men who g; \<t of their time and intelligent effort in its direction encounter is the difficulty in bringing about act’ve participation by a greater number. Too many want tc “let Geor 0 e do it” and when he doesn’t they seek to blame others or an agency of individuals, the Chamber of Commerce, which can do much with cooperation and less and less without. It is not necessary for me to list achievements of this organization for your benefit. You are too well informed not to know of the new industries that have been brought, the help to establish, industries that has -been rendered, the constant fight being made for fair freight rates and the assistance to various governmental units in fiscal matters by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Recalls Leadership Going back several years, all will recall the splendid leadership of Mr. B. A. Worthington as chairman of the Industries Committee. He was followed by Mr. W. B. Harding, President of the G. & J. Tire Company, as chairman and now Mr. G. M. Williams, President of Nordyke & Marmon, is filling that position in a most able manner. The machinery is here and the intelligence to carry on to an increasingly higher plane the work that has been and is being done. The organization had a complete industrial survey made by a most able man several years ago and has been working along the lines of his recommendations to round out our industries. One of the things that President Fishback has had most close to his heart is the raising of a fund for the purpose of advertising Indianapolis to its citizens and to the outside. This plan is now being formulated and soon all loyal men and women of Indianapolis will have the opportunity of subscribing to such a fund. Not only will it be used tp advertise our advantages, which are admittedly many, but to assist in the acutla bringing of new industries here and in assisting those already established. The Chamber of Commerce is pledged by action of its board of directors to this program and it receives with deep gratitude the assurance of correctness of its position by the support such as* you have just given it. No Outside Fear “You are absolutely right when you say that we have nothing to fear from the outside. What we need to overcome is local inertia and a tendency to knock efforts of others while making none ourselves. We have the agency, properly organized and directed; the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. What we need is more support, financial and moral and friendlier cooperation. People seem to find it next to impossible to judge a chamber of commerce by the standards they like to have applied to themselves. They expect absolute perfection and if less is delivered or if mistakes are made the disgruntled member at once * “resigns” and gets out, instead of trying to contribute constructive and helpful advice and criticisms which are always wel come. * "The matter of raising a fund for the purposes described has been a subject of discussion and consideration by those in authority many times. There are immense practical difficulties all along the line and experience of other cities has not been such as to assure success to the undertaking, even if the large sum of a million dollars were raised. The subject is certainly worthy of further consideration in the light of present day .conditions and we will be exceedingly glad to have recommendations along this and any other lines. As you say, the bonus idea has been relegated to the discard, and rightly so. A survey of Indus tries thjit have been recipients of bonuses of one sort or another has shown the futility of such methods. One industry like the Real Silk Ho siery Mills, brought to Indianapolis by the Chamber of Commerce, is worth any number of t bonus-bot-tle fed sort. “Indianapolls has a mo unusual

Unfortunately, many of our own people do not know, or seem not to know, how well situated we are. There is too much of apology and pessimism and too little of boosting and cheerfulness.
