TWO WAYS TO RUN A TOWN
THIS IS ONE WAY

THIS is ONE WAY
Oppose improvements.
Mistrust its public men.
Run it down to strangers.
Go to some other town and trade.
Do not invest a cent-lay your money
out somewhere else.
Be particular to discredit the motives
Of public spirited men.
Lengthen yonr face when a stranger
speaks o. locating in your place
Refuse to see the merit in any scheme
that does not directly interest you.
fla man wants to buy your place ask
him two prices for it. 1t he wants any
body's elses interfere and discourage him.
TAIs IS THE OTHER WAY
Talk about it.
Write about it.
Advertise about it,
Beauty the place.
BE friendly with all.
Buy all you can at home.
Keep the streets and walks in shape.
If you are rich invest here and give
employment.
Be courteous to strangers that come
among You, SO that they will go away
with good impression.
Always cheer men who go i'll for en-
ployment your portion of the cost will
be nothing but which is right.
Don't kick on any proposed improve
ment because it is not at your door,
