there are upwards Of a-half dozen
strangers in the city soliciting stock
subscriptions for as many different
building associations, not to say any
thing Of our home people engaged in
the work. This IS certainly detrimen-
tai TO the interests Of our community,
and very injurious TO business gener-
ally. Yet we have lots Of cold stogies''
who viii readily .'jine,n and agreeably
allow their names to be used in con-
nection with them--all, perhaps, be
cause they get one cent more on every
hundred or thousand dollars invested
This Is the class Of interested citi
zens who have the success Of the com
munity at heart, Unfortunatel,
they carry their hearts at the bottom
Of their pockets. The very names con
nected with some Of them are enough
to keep an enterprising person from

never contributed Ave dollars in a lif'
time toward public enterprise, d
anything that benefited the communi
ty or their fellowsme
