Commenting on this the Opinion says
The best and most permanent enterprise, are
those started by home capital and brains. often
| manufacturers who are hired to set up in town
skim the cream and go of, leaving the town in the
| urch. The hest way TO help a town To flourish l.
| to encourage the towns young and capable bust
| ness men Will, financial advances instead of send
ing the money West to be used in the same way
| out there.
There is lots of tr.ith in what the Opinion says
While foreign capital is always welcome, and
| while towns should offer liberal inducements IL
attract it, the better policy is to induce the young
men of your town to remain and engage in home
enterprises II help is to he given, help your own
people first The Belfast shoe factory is operated
