How to Build q Tswn.

The following sensible advice is wor-
thy OF thought by every man who de-
sires to see his town grow:
The best way to build up a town
is to stand by every man in the place
who does right. All citizens are in
a large sense, partners, and should
not be opponents. No matter what
your calling the more business your
rival is doing, the more you will do.
Legitimate aggressiveness in bust
ness life means something quite diff
ferent tom slandering or otherwise
attempting to pull down the other
fellow Every business man who
treats his customers honestly and
courteously will get his share. In
other words, organization and a pull
ali together are what counts in build
ing = town a. they do in individual
business The concern where there is
not harmony of action among the
partners Will not prosper. The city
where there IL lack of organized ef-
tort, where individual citizens abuse
their town and exalt others, .creatipg
the impression that their own is q
bad one, VII not progress
