Either run town with vim or
just sell out and leave it, says an
exchange. Men who are all the
time trying to get out of town will
never build up a town-or their own
business. One of the two things
must be done-run the town for all
it is worth, get up steam and keep
it up, or quit the whole thing, slide
out and let nature take it's course.
Do you want trade? Advertise for
it. Do you want prosperous town
where people can come who are dis
posed to make homes? Then do
away with personal feeling, bury all
spite work; work no more for few
individuals, all work together for a
mutual benefit. Wake up, rub your
eyes, roll up your sleeves and go to
work. Don't work with fear and
trembling, but take it for granted
that blood will tell. Leave results
with themselves; borrow no
trouble, but all unite to make the
biggest kind of city.
