The Seattle Star Newspaper, December 7, 1916, Page 1

There has been enough TALK about consolidating the Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club. Why has there been no ACTION? One reason is Secretary C. B. Yandell of the Chamber of Commerce—the man who so conspicuously failed to come thru for Seattle in the tourist rate fight. If ever there was a reason for the merger of the two commercial bodies, now is the time. But it can’t be successful unless it is based upon per. ne up-to-date, progressive, forward-looking ideas. The old mossback regime must go. Give us a LIVE commercial body, with a LIVE ex- ecutive secretary.

No better Christmas present could we give our- selves than to consolidate the commercial bodies and kindred organizations. It is nec- essary to do this first, and immediately—to bring ourselves into closer commercial rela- tionship, if we are to secure the results from the elimination of the differential rate which means so much to the entire Northwest. No greater public service can The Star render than by following up its ‘Million Dollar Idea’’—it’s too good to be lost.
