The best way TO build upa town is to stand
by every man in the place who is trying to
do right and shows public tendency to pro-
mote the business isterest of the town. When
ever man is doing well do not try to tear
him down il bis business is respectable and
legal. All residents should be partners for
the best interests Of the community and not
opponents. Every business man who treats
bis customers honestly, eourteousy and fair
" will get his share, and the more business
that can be secured by united effort the better
il will be for all. When town ceases to
grow it begins to die, and the more people
trv to kill each other in business the more
rapidly will utter ruin come to all Stand
together for the advancement of every deserv-
ing citizen. liza man shows ability to prosper
do not pull him back through Jealousy or
weigh him down through cold indifference
