The people Of Nazareth and Bath are
generally regarded as being "slow and
sleepy" yet the former town has a
successful knitting mill in operation
and Is building another TO employ two
hundred additional hands. One day
last week the citizens ofBath subscribed
$4,000 towards establishing a candy
factory in that town.
Those people realize that the only
way to make town thrive and prosper
