PEEK at the Week: August 27

PEEK into the PAST: Pictured is a Dover Bulletin (published monthly) from April of 1923 in which the Dover Chamber of Commerce is planning to bring in more members. Click on the image to enlarge.

"With entirely an unselfish motive, the Directors and members have attempted to carry out its tasks and in most instances have succeeded. There yet remains, however, much which can and should be done. These tasks are not for the individual but are those which must be assumed by many working together. The more to work, the greater the possibility of accomplishment."

For more historical content, check out the Chamber's Instagram and Facebook. Peek into the Past is a special section running in PEEK this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Chamber.
