prone to give their town a bad namep
Instead of pfaising Il to outsiders and
giving them a good impression Of the
place they call home and pointing out
its many attractions. its fine location,
its good schools and fine churches, its
lovely homes and excellent citizens and
its healthful climate, ETC., they direct

it is dull and there is actually no bust

a great mistake It is to give your town

man Of means visited a certain town In
this state with the intention Of locating

town and judged he should like the
people. He found just what he wanted
in the way Of a place that he could
purchase for SIS 900 without Gripping
himself. He was just the kind OF a
mar who could be welcomed into any
community and considered a valuable
addition, for he was progressive and
wide awake. and quick to see the many
natural advantages which the town and
vicinity offered. Unfortunately he
stepped into a bank to attend to some
business and received such a tale OF
woe from the cashier OF the blue
and dull times that enveloped the town
that he became afraid to invest and
lost no time In getting out of the place
and seeking a more desirable town to
locate in. Not over twenty miles away
he found a town with not half the life
and not as desirable, taking it all
around. as the one from which he had
so hastily shaken the dust from off his
feet, but the residents, young and old
spoke in glowing terms OF the place.

SIS 900 near the town. and has beer

mind and did not settle where he frs
