Worsted Depicts Varied Activities Claiming Interest of Business Folk William T. Wersted, a former presi- dent of the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce and who has been decidedly active in its affairs including its ort ganization on March 20, 1923, spoke at the February meeting of that organ- ization Monday evening on "What the Chamber has Accomplished." He said: "Tt is "a great pleasure - to see many of our plans achieved or coming to their fruition. But I think it might be interesting, (if you will pardon my digression) es- pecially to some of the younger mer- chants, to 'refer back to the year 1904, "hes Hous ten or twelve busi- ness men of this W. T. Wersted town felt the desire of meeting to- gether to have a sociable evening and talk over their affairs and get ac- quainted. Only about two such meet- ings were held, I am told, and they were in the Woman's club building. Perhaps organized effort was not so much heard of in those days and no more was done until the year 1913 or 1914, (the records are not clear as to the exact date) when the New Trier Commercial association was formed. Outgrowth of Township Body "This organization began in Win- netka, and after much plugging and solicitation by some of the old work- ers, it gradually grew to include busi- ness men from Wilmette, Gross Point, Kenilworth and Glencoe. The secre- tary's office was later shifted to Wil- mette, where it remained until it was displaced by the formation of Cham- bers of Commerce in each of the three towns of Wilmette, Winnetka and Glencoe. This early organization paved the way for what was to follow, and many of these pioneers were active in organizing our present Chamber in 1923. At that time there were 73 ac- tive memberships, which have grown to the present total of 156, or about 75 percent of the 205 total business firms and professional men of Win- netka. In speaking of Winnetka, I mean, of course, the Hubbard Woods, Elm street and Indian Hill districts. And when I refer to business men and merchants, I also wish to include pro- fessional men, for many of them are, and logically so, members of our Chamber. "Now what has the Chamber of Commerce accomplished? I think the evidence of a very important part of its work is right here in this room. You men and women have become better acquainted with each other, have learned some of each other's problems, ambitions and aspirations and you have, no doubt, found many good qualities in your competitor who, heretofore, in your own imagination, wore horns behind his ears. How much better it is to work together toward a common good; and who can say that the Chamber of Commerce has not brought the business men together in a way which no other organization could have done? "Last winter in a certain city in Kansas was a man who owned a large floral business. During a spell of zero weather he suddenly found himself without competent help. Within thirty minutes his competitor, on hear- ing of his plight, sent over several experienced men to care for the flow- ers, which would have been frozen and damaged to the extent of several thou- (Continued on page 14)
