NEWTON FALLS.
BUSINESS MATTERS

EALLsY april ~, 1901.
Mr.. EDITOR IL promised YOU som,
time since, that 1 would furnish for pub.
LEGATION a business directory of Newton
Falls, as a contrast to Newton Falls &C
years ago" in order to show your numer.
Gus readers that we have neither all blown
away nor dried up, Notwithstanding the
rumors raised by some, who having come
in here within a few years, not overbur-
dened with stamps, and aided by others
who had business tact, have obtained a
competency sufficient to support themselves
in ease in the metropolitan towns, and are
in the habit of doing their little best in
abusing the community which has made
them what they are; which ''saw them
an hungered and fed them" No doubt
most of your readers are familiar with the
Fable Of the farmer who found a snake
almost frozen, and carried him home and
thawed him out, &c. 1 will not make the
application, only saying by way of apol.
ogy for the snake, that his outrageous car
ryIngs on, were only the Developments Of
the natural instinct of the beast, a guam
tity of which these other t'anlmals" seem
devoid. But now to the directory.

The above list is supposed to be correct,
although there may be some omissions
1 regret that 1 must add that the prospect
for a railroad is not so hattering as it was
years ago, although being only
and q half miles from the a. q g.
Railway, which we can reach by
means of a hack connecting with every
train, we are partially reconcled to our
backwoods condition, being compensated
for this little inconvenience, by u beau
.iful and healthy location, our splendid
water powers, OF light, sandy soil which
never becomes "four foot mud, !" and which
Tries out very soon after rains and snow
forms are over.
1 will also add that business has opened
put this spring better than usual n trade
$ fully as large as il has ever been IN past
Our citizens are fast learning that
t is for their benefit to support home bus
ness instead of carrying away trade 10
build up towns which have no interests
IDENTICAL with theirs; and they have also
'ound that good goods bought at home at a
air price, are much cheaper than poor
,oods sold at cost to draw their trade away
rom home, which would eventually de-
troy the business of this village entirely,
nd not only make themselves dependent
lpOn a distant market 10 which they must
q under all circumstances, but. also, de-
the value of their products, as
veil as that of the land which supplies
hem. The value of the time expended
n going ten or fifteen miles to q market,
OF only 10 buy but to sell, if devoted to
be cultivation of his land, by the farmer,
r the prosecution of his trade by the me-
haRic, and the other common expendi-
ares attending this foreign traffic, which
re often overlooked, make such q man
er of doing business much more expen-
i've, and renders these apparently cheap
goods much desrer than most peo- J
le at first sight would discover. But this
esult has atlsst been arrived at, by the
id of that well known schoolmaster, Ex-
and this as well as other villages
hitch would always have done a thriving
usiness had not its own citizens turned a
Did shoulder to is, as well as their own
est interests, begins to show signs of in
prosperity. ]
Yours truly. as"
