Those who read the Williamstown de-
partment of the @lassboro Enterprise
think it has been quite an incen-
tive to the building boom we have had
the last Summer and Fall, and help in
getting our midnight train and many
other things, but when it comes to the
Board of Trade, the writer may as well
stop, as the Board is perfectly able to take
care of itself 1t is open for anything that
it thinks will be a benefit to our flourish
ing little town, and it ought to be known
that it is not the Board of Trade that
talked and agitated the street lights. If it
had, they would not have fallen through
with so soon. We agree that the Directors
of the Board should be the leading business
men of the town, should be professional
men, broad-minded and far-seeing men,
men with the full confidence of the citi-
zens anywhere and everywhere, and such a
Board would cut lots Of ice, but it would
soon melt if the following idea in the
Enterprises department should be carried
out 1t says: More than once in this
world talk has sold man a thing he did
not want, and 1T can be done again Such
is not the motto of our Board of Trade.
We are for honest square dealing man with
man. Whatever inducements we offer
must be Just what they purport to be-
nothing else No film fam games will be
practiced in any of its dealings. The Board
proposes to live, Secretaries or no Secre-
taries; mahogany desks or no desks at all /;
bylaws, or no bylaws; but by honest
dealings Now, the Board of Trade is
ready to do anything to promote the inter
ests of the town. We claim that our town
is very prosperous, it is a er-failing
town, business is always good Winter and
summer; and should anyone propose
building a home, we think there is no
better place to locate than here. Land
can be bought at a very reasonable price,
employment can be easily obtained the
year around, at very good salaries; we
have good stores, good railroads, cheap
rate of freight, and great talk of the troll
Iys coming through our town soon, which
of course, will have a tendency to increase
the value of property. So persons desiring
cheap and comfortable homes should obtain
them now by buying lots and building
homes to suit themselves, and they no
doubt will soon fall heir to all the great
improvements that are so much talked of
IN the Williamstown news. So it will pay
auy RCAoOnc SUI 90 VI IDAACo away w SOA~
slider the above, and Join us in the bUildiDg
up of our town, enjoy the good fresh air,
our location is high and lis known to be
very healthy, and good health is better
than wealth.
