Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1903-04-03
Truly,
LYLE c.. WATERBURY,,
Atlanta, Georgia,
Truly,

Now, my kind reader, be you
a business man or private citi-
zen, let US in all candor, at the
same time with all good humor,
give you a plain, business talk.
Placing ourselves, as an illus
tration, in the position of the
above gentleman who writes for
information about our town,
would we, by looking over this
paper think Canyon City a
thriving, progressive town?
Mind you, the only foreign rep
entative or advertisement for
town is her local paper, unless
that town has progressed to
the extent of having advertising
COMMITTEES or immigration bu.
reaus. A practical and success
full business man in seeking a
new location can determine at
one glance at the local paper if
that town is worthy of his atten-
ton and investm mt, and it is
invariably the case that this
fact is the deciding point in
making the selection of the
town. You ask how, and why:
Simply on this basis: a wide
awake, enthusiastic people is
not content with the knowledge
that everyone in town knows
you and when they want any
thing in your line they will call
without your solicitation
through the local paper, but
they will persistently keep the
fact before the public, not only
to your neighbors, but to those
abroad. A newspaper, to be oper-
ated successfully, must devote
a certain part o. its space to its
advertising readers, be the pa
per large or small, and if that
space is not used, the paper will
gradually sink into oblivion.
Why: From the very simple
fact that the newspaper bust
ness must be supported to thrive
as any other business. Do not
consider this article an old time
harangue for the advertisers
ear. 1t is not. The matter de-
wolves to this point: The News
management has the capital and
experience to make of your
home paper a credit and an ad-
vertisement to the town. 1t is
Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1903-04-03

at worst it had erred only IN
clinging too long to an oyer
wise, prudential policy. .
Persons thoroughly FAMILIAR
with inside history and condi-
tons do not by any means adj
NIT the Justice of the charges OF
over caution, but assert that
prudence and foresight have on
ly served to prevent mistakes
and to concentrate our energy
and strength in substantial pro-
cesses and full, normal d develop
ment.
Whatever the spirit of the
past has been, new spirit
must replace it. We must not
wholly abandon the cOnserva-
tiSm inherent in our institutions,
but must add energy and enthu-
siasm, born of conviction. Con-
tident in the strength of unsur.
passed natural advantages,
Canyon City must build and en-
courage others to locate, with a
new assurance. Progression,
enterprise, well-knowing its
compass and free within wise
and proven limitations, must be
the spirit rife in Canyon City
today. Evidences of its NOV
ing force will daily multiply and
beget faith and enthusiasm.
Visual demonstrations inspire.
Take for an instance, the town
of Hereford. There seems to be
no end to its growth, and why?
Simyly because a prospector is
apt to govern his investments
in a town by the visible and un-
mista kable signs of progression.
IT is by no means an induce
mept to prospective citizen to
locate in town where the apa
thetic atmosphere has pervaded
and is holding undisputed do
minion. Draw your own com
parison and the pearl of truth
and sound logic will not be diff
cult to see.
