When we have our beautiful new
Methodist church completed and also
our fine new pavementS all over town
we will have every reason to be proud
of our beautiful little city. AS it is,
the town could not be more charmingly
located than it is. Certainly there is
no scenery anywhere finer than that
with which our valleyis blessed, and it
seems providential that such spot
should have been chosen for the site of
BoscoDel. But in this progressive age
city must have something more than
natural beauty. 1t must have all the
improvements of modern invention,
and our people, always awake to the
fact of needed advancement, have de-
cided to do as much as practicable in
his line. With the completion of the
M E. church we will have number of
as fine churches as one will find any
where. We have one of the very best
school buildings in this part of the
state, fit emblem of our excellent
school system. In addition to these we
have number of other enterprises of
which we are justly proud, one Of the
chief being the Ruka Manf'g. Co., which
is the largest corporation OF its kind in
Southwestern Wisconsin. It looks en-
couraging for the people of a place to
have enterprise and spirit to do what
they can for the advancement of
town.
