How To KILL A TowN.-Buy of
peddIers as often and as much as
possible.
Denounce your merchants because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of the man
who has done much TO build up the
city.
Make your town out very bad
place and stab it every chance you
get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for
the betterment of the material inter-
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that. you can
buy goods good deal cheaper in
some other town, and charge them
with extortion.
Keep every cent you get and don't
do anything of a public nature un-
less you can make something out of
it directly.
When you have anything to say
of your town, say it in such a way
as to leave the impression that You
have no faith in it.
If a stranger comes to town tell
him that everything is overdone,
and predict a general crash of the
town in the near future.
Keep up a divided public scnti-
ment and knife every man who
disagrees with you on the best
method of increasing business.
Ifyou are merchant, don't adj
vertise in your home paper, buy a
rubber stamp and use it; it may
save you few dimes and make the
paper look like it was published in
a one horse town.
