Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Commercial Organizations: Their Function, Operation and Service
The literature devoted to organized community promotion along economic and civic lines, as exemplified through local commercial bodies in the urban centers of the United States, has been found to be extremely meagre and unsatisfactory. For the most part it has been fragmentary in form and has provided nothing in the way of a comprehensive and helpful treatment of the subject.
With the growing tendency on the part of communities towards material and social progress through collective effort this dearth of instructive literature has become increasingly manifest. The theorist, it is true, has spoken variously and voluminously on the subject, but the man who has travelled the road of experience in this domain has thus far remained silent. At least his voice has not gone beyond a limited range to that larger constituency which stands ready to listen and profit by his counsels.
