| A number of people have expressed q
willingness to take stock in the enterprise, and
some have put their names on subscriptions

action. Every man in business in the town
should lend his aid. and if all would do a little

| necessary amount. Should the American
! Signal Company works he brought here,
other enterprises will follow, and in few
wears Westminster could double its business
and population. Every enterprise started
adds to the general business and prosperity Of
the town. Unity of action upon the part OF
the people Is all that is needed putting into
enterprises little money by each person en-
gagged in business.
