Horace Greeley once, when asked
how best to secure the prosperity of a
town, replied: The only way to secure
a healthy and permanent prosperity, is
for all to work together and let the
world at large know just what you are
doing. To make your town appear
prosperous is to make it prosperous in
reality. The same philosopher adds:
If you want to keep a town from thriv-
ing don't erect more buildings than
you can conveniently occupy yourself.
Ifyou should accidentally have an empty
building, and any one should want to
rent it, ask three times the value of it,
demand a Shylock price for every foot
of ground God has given you steward
ship over. Turn a cold shoulder on
every machine and business who seeks
to make a home with you. Look at
every new conner with scowl. Run
down the work of new workmen. Go
abroad for wares rather than seek f0s
do business ir your midst. Fail to adj
vertise, so that people abroad may not
know whether business is going on in
your town or not. Wrap yourself with
q coat Of inperyious selfshness." There
is no more etfectual way TO retard the
growth of a town than actions like these
enumerated.
