factories. This fact no man can gain
say. We want to keep pace in our in
dussrial growth with our transportation
facilities 1t can be said, however, that
within the past five years the city has
taken wonderful leaps forward. | be-
lieve good policy to pursue is to pro-
vide means of remunerative work for
our growing young men. The only way
we can develope the best manufacturing
and mercantile spirit in the youth is to
have places for them to protitably EN-
ploy their faculties. Within this city
there are the making of many success
merchants and manufacturers.
