3e>i C357^ Tenth Annual Goodfellowship Supper ^ Wl ( ycnuiwue> of Champaign, Illinois ••••••• ¥ Masonic Temple April 6, 1914 Flanigan-Pearson Printing Co. 8 > Sp M 3 3*1 INTRODUCTION In order that the members of the Chamber of Commerce may not be compelled to learn the condition of their association at the close of the year, by a short course, that is by hearing lengthy re- ports read hurridly as a matter of routine on a busy occasion, your officers have decided to place their reports before you in printed form that you may analyze them at your leisure. With this explanation and the hope that this plan may be satis- factory to you, the following reports are respectfully submitted. By J. M. Kaufman, President. Members Chamber of Commerce of Champaign, Illinois — One year ago you elected me to serve as head of your association, an honor for which I thanked you at that time in saying that I would do all in my power to deserve your confidence by increasing the strength of our association and its power for good in our community. What has been accomplished during the year which closes to- night, is known in a general way to all of you, but perhaps you do not realize my indebtedness, nor yours, to the other officers who constitute your board of directors, and it is due them, that I say they have been loyal to you, to their fellow citizens and to me, in all work which has been undertaken. They have responded readily to every demand on their time and have given valuable service and the benefit of business experience, in dealing with some of the prob- lems which had to be solved in a way to help our city and prevent heavy monetary losses to your association. Those problems were solved successfully and with fairness to every one. I say to you now, and to you officers, that we are greatly indebted to Vice-President M. A. Nelson, Secretary William Sullivan, Treasurer G. W. Martin and Trustees J. W .Mulliken. Isaac Kuhn and W. W. Morehead, and personally I thank them for the assistance given me during the year; and to Managing Secretary, C. W. Murphy. I want to particularly express my appreciation, as it has been through his untiring efforts and ability that has made my administration successful, for he alone deserves much commendation for the growth, welfare and progress of our organization. To our local friend, the press, especially our home daily, The Gazette, we owe much fcr time and space freely given in aid of our work. Over half of our members have served on standing or special committees, and to these members has fallen a great deal of w rk. Their part in our endeavors has been performed cheerfully and U J^ faithfully and they have net even expected our thanks but they have mine, and 1 am sure they have yours. J Our greatest strength does not lie in the cash placed at our dis- o posal by dues from members, but in your loyal CO- peration and realization that your full obligation has not been discharged when &o you have paid the monthly installment. Your money is necessary, n0 but without your personal activity and response to the demand made VI 3 UNIVERSfTY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY IA --HAMPAIGN on every citizen for the general good, our city is not likely to con- tinue to grew Bigger. Better and Busier. Our present member-hip and bright prospects for future growth promise well for our city and county. While on the subject of membership I must express my pleasure from the gain during the year. We began the year with 342 mem- bers and our gain month by month is as follows : 1913 New Lost Net April 1 342 -May 1 [2 6 6 348 June 1 4 1 3 351 July 1 I 4 3 348 August 1 4 1 3 351 September 1 3 7 4 347 October 1 18 2 16 363 November 1 21 7 14 377 December 1 4 22 1914 379 January 1 13 1 \2 391 February 1 6 06 397 March 1 4 21 399 April 1 See applications 4 4 90 37 395 This gain in membership in the face of the opinion that our city had been thoroughly canvassed, shows that during the whole year there has constantly been on the program a reminder to add to our number. I will place credit for this showing where it belongs; — to 4 our membership committee and especially to its chairman. J. B. \\\ck>. To each of these recruits who has given us this evidence of loyalty to our community and confidence in this organization t work for every citizen, I have written a personal letter thanking him for this confidence and here I again express my appreciation and thank them in behalf of their Chamber of Commerce. Of the ninety members voted in during the year, up to and including March 1st, eighty-four are still members of this association, in addition to those adopted tonight. This shows that valuable material for city improvement had been overlooked. There are many others who should and will join us during the coming year. Our losses for the year were due to the following causes : — By death i Left the city 10 Change in firm 5 Resigned 20 Out of business 1 Many changes in firms or partnerships have taken place, but either maintained or increased membership and are shown in the statement by months. Passing from our greatest asset ; the human agency, with its brain and loyalty, we may properly give some attention to our business transactions to which your board has given considerable time. You will remember we took over from the previous admin- istration the wreck of the National Refrigerator and Butchers Sup- ply Company, with all its complications which could not be adjusted in the short time alotted my predecessor. Developments proved the purchase of the property for the pro- tection of creditors, a wise and just act on the part of the previous board, and a good investment for our association, which will profit to the extent of approximately $2,000. There still being some of the property to be disposed of. Before April 1st the north part of the property was leased to Kelso and Hill Brothers, now the Fitted Steel Sash Works, on terms providing that when certain conditions as to solvency and pay roll have been met, the property will be deeded to the company, subject to an incumbrance of $3,000, which covers one half the indebtedness of the Refrigerator Co. to the Chamber of Commerce. For a period of two years from date of lease the Steel Sash Company will pay rental sufficient to cover insurance, taxes, interest and incidentals. During the present administration a similar agreement was entered into with the Alexander Lumber Company which purchased the machinery already in the building. Under the management of the company's local manager, R. S. Bassett, an experienced mill manager, the equipment is being used for the manufacture of interior finish, fixtures, sash and doors. Mr. Bassett controls the purchase 5 of this class of building material for the company's 7J yards in Illi- nois. ;i fact which promises well for the Champaign plant. Both occupants of the property did a good business last and their prospects f' r the coming year's business arc- very flatter- ing. They arc likelj to need larger quarters and must be taken care of in that respect later. The pay mils of the two industries just mentioned were larger last season than the wage portion ni the company which vacated the property. To relate the story is easy but many sessions and hours of time were necessary before the deals were completed and two growing industries secured to replace the one which failed. Another transaction closed during the year was the deeding of a tract of ten acre- of land to the University of Illinois. The land was purchased a year earlier by the Chamber of Commerce and was held for the University, being desired for extension included in plans for the growth of that institution. Your association owns the Ells tract of land free i f encum- brance and also owns 26 lots in the Chamber of Commerce addition and $2,600 of the Burr Company first mortgage bonds. Last year a movement was started toward the organization of land owners of the county for better agricultural conditions, this association being active in the work. The Champaign County Agri- cultural Improvement Association was formed and is now at work, having employed Mr. C. II. Oathout, a farm expert who is endorsed by authorities on farming in all its phases. Through efforts of our Agricultural Committee Mr. Oathout's office is in this city. Another activity was for Good Roads. Failing in efforts to build a few miles of experimental road, your association became active in securing the enactment of the Tice Bill, a very gn od law which may be improved to give a greater territory an opportunity to secure more readily, the roads demanded by the people. During the year some work has been done to improve train service for Champaign, and, although we have not accomplished a great deal, we have attracted the attention of the transportation companies and have promises of efforts to help us. Your association has been active in securing for the city some of the many improvements to which it is entitled, among them being the new high school property, the lighting system, which in spite of occasional criticism is superior to that of any of our neighboring Ctites; the purchase of two powerful auto-tire trucks which reduce the time required to reach a lire, and the enlarged quarters for the department, which will also be a valuable investment and a greater protection for property. Support has been given even movement to benefit our citizens and in this support, care has been taken to exercise discretion and avoid warranted criticism, the unwarranted cannot be guarded against, the best any organization or person can d<> in such emer- gency being to stand pat on record and depend on fairness winning out. 1 am proud of the fact however, that our Chamber of Com- merce lias not become involved in any controversies of a serious 6 character and hope that future years will prove as harmonious for our association, as those which have passed. Having briefly called attention to the general community work in which our whole citizenship had a part, I will now refer to some of the things which the Chamber of Commerce has been directly responsible for. During the years our rest room had been in operation the brighl attractive cleanliness which made the place inviting when new. had almost disappeared and the room was badly in need of overhauling. As the lease expired on June i there seemed an opportunity to have something done. The owner was told of what should he done and the improvements were impressed upon him so thoroughly that he spent over one thousand dollars as his part of the expense of the improvement and our expense, was so low that our share was paid without calling for special contrihutions and today our headquarters are brighter and the work we are doing and accomodations to our patrons of greater efficiency, than in the history of the association, this statement being without the least reflection on other adminis- trations. One of the added conveniencies is our committee room which is used, not alone by our committee and directors, hut by committees of other organizations, by highway commissioners and groups of citizens who desire to meet on neutral ground. Evidence that the rest room is used may be seen any da}- hut the first proof of the number of people using it during a busy season was secured by a count for six days preceding Christmas, during which a total of 4410 people were in the room, an average of 735 per day, the heaviest day of the six being Saturday, on which there were 1038 visitors. To conduct the room properly and dis- courage undesirables requires an acquaintance with people and tact in dealing with them and as there has been no complaint from any patron, we may assume that all have been treated as they deserve. One of the rules of the association, strictly adhered to, is that the room shall not be used for advertising purpose, even our members being deprived of that privilege, hut several months ago, at the sug- gestion of our managing secretary, your hoard placed in the room, the full membership classified as to husiness or profession, that our visitors may know who is contrihuting to this room for their com- fort and convenience. Strangers call for information, being directed to the Rest Room by citizens of whom they make inquiry. They call there to locate friends, or firms, or places; to inquire about trains; to check parcels or use local or long distance telephones and the attention and as- sistance given them is an excellent advertisement of our hospitality, and their thanks an evidence that they appreciate it. We have secured the passage of an ordinance requiring team- sters to report the removal of household goods and the record se- cured by this ordinance is part of our credit rating system and valu- ( Continued on Page fj I 7 MENU OLIVES RADISHES CELERY BROILED TEXDERLOIXS BUTTER SAUCE, MLS II ROOMS BROWNED POTATOES FRENCH PEAS EX CREAM HOT ROLLS BUTTER JELLY HOT PUMPKIN PIE WHIPPED CREAM COFFEE CIGARS PROGRAM Song "Battle Hymn of the Republic" Leader, Prof. Charles R.

Socially our membership has been brought closer together dur- ing the year. On April 17, nearly a year ago, a banquet was served in cele- brating the dedication of the Commerce Building. The Urbana Commercial Club, the University and the Chamber of Commerce joined in this celebration with the result that citizens of the two cities meeting on University territory spent an evening of sociability and profit which came from a clearer undertsanding of the value of our partnership asset, the University of Illinois, and of the im- portance of the work which the community may do for that great institution. June 6 we entertained the Trade Extension Committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce, a delegation of sixty business men who were making a tour of the state. Friendships established on that occasion have lasted up to now and will become stronger and more beneficial with time. Last November our entertainment committee took up the plan of serving a series of noonday lunches and sold over 60 books of tickets for the ten lunches. When that series was ended another was started and is still in progress with 61 books of tickets sold. At each of these lunches which have been served on Tuesdays, we have had some one speak on a subject of general interest, the speaker being a man who was an authority on the subject. . Those who have attended regularly speak highly of this plan for bringing our mem- bers together at least once a week, wliere they may spend an hour over a good meah Another general round-up of our membership was on the date of our January meeting, when we served a banquet in honor of Dean David Kinley's election to the vice-presidency of the University of Illinois. On this occasion our members to the number of about 250 attended and the evening was a most enjoyable one in every respect. Two other of our regular meetings were of more than usual interest, that of December, when we had with us about twenty of the foreign students of the University, who addressed us, and our February meeting when we had as our guests the Twin City Feder- ation of Labor. At this meeting representatives of a number of the labor organizations spoke and their addresses gave many of our members a new view of the object of trade unions. About a month later the Federation entertained this association at a smoker. It is believed that this exchange of ideas has done much to bring these two organizations together and convince members of each that we are working for a commen cause, the improvement of our city and county and the conditions under which our citizens shall live. Encouragement in the way of ready response was given these plans for bringing our members and friends into a closer relation- ship and give opportunity for a discussion of the many questions which are a part of their work. 9 Representatives of the traffic department of the Illinois Central Railroad Company spent one evening here early in December and were entertained at the Rest Room by our association. We did not ask them for anything i n this occasion because they were our guests Imt they were given to understand that Champaign i- not satis with conditions here although the company has done well by our city. One of the improvements attempted tor Champaign was the placing <>t street names at intersections. This was suggested at one of our noonday lunches and as the city was n t in a condition at that time to meet the expense, our association agreed to purchase the sign-. A committee was appointed and secured subscriptions to a fund for this purpose. The city council, through its represen- tative, advised that the order for signes be held up until s me changes could he made to overcome confusion caused by similarity in names. Changes were discussed by the council and public meetings were held for consideration of a proposed ordinance renaming the streets and renumbering the business and residence lots. There wa- - objection and plans of the council were altered so far as practicable to concede to demands of those objecting and an ordinance was finally passed and in one of our regular monthly meetings the work of the council and our committee was endorsed. Following a list of names furnished by the city engineer, signs ami brackets were purchased at a cost of about $600. and are now awaiting the decision of the citizens at the city election. April 21, when the ordinance will be submitted to a vote. The signs are the in -t durable made and are very attractive, three inch white letters being baked into the blue enamel. They would have been in use long ago but for an injunction which caused a delay. It is to be hoped our citizens will approve the placing of the street signs. Many other desired improvements have been discussed and plans for future work include better railway station accommodations, bet- ter freight handling facilities; more attractive railroad approaches to Champaign ; any needed improvements in our school system, when the new home is ready for occupancy; transportation services which will enable our county friends to come and go as they desire ; pave- ments to connect up with the proposed hard roads which our friends in the country propose to build; more attractive parks and play grounds; better housing conditions for our citizens and those who de-ire to become citizens; the encouragement of University ex- tension work as to building- and grounds and the useful things it would teach; attention to the needs of those who need and are en- titled to special consideration in their work. All these plans may not be successfully carried through but 50 much can be accomplished that we can see a gradual improvement and such since-- as does come, must come as a result of. and reward for a united, loyal, aggressive membership of the greatest agency our community has for making a Bigger, Better and Busier Cham- paign .ml County; our Chamber of Commerce. 10 BY G. W. MAR'I IX. TREASURER Financially our Chamber of Commerce is in good condition although it has passed a year, which, at the beginning, threatened a heavy loss. In presenting totals to shew the amount of money handled in the past year, I realize that they do not show, item by item, where all of it has come from or who received that portion which has been paid out. To attempt to itemize would till pages of space, which is not practical. You have a right to know the details and may learn them by calling at our association's business office, tin- Rest Room, where the records are open to any member without question. All money passes through the hands of our managing secretary, being receipted and accounted for. Xo money is paid out without action of a majority of the Board of Directors at an open meeting of the Board, and then only on a voucher check signed by our president and secretary. Last year you had a report on the condition of three live funds : — general, light and lot. This year there are only two, the light fund created to take care of the installation and maintenance of the cluster lights in the business district, having been closed. The closing of that account was made possible by the city taking over that part of the lighting system as a present valued at about $3,000. A summary of the money handled, follows : General Fund — Bank Bal. April 1, 1913 $ 691.06 Collections 6,230.62 $ 6.921.68 Warrants drawn 6,390.27 Bank Bal $ 531.41 Light Fund — Bank Bal.

Thy woods and templed hills My heart with rapture thrills Like that abo\ e.
