saying when he said that trade ter
ritory of town is not depended
upon the distance to neighboring
trading points but upon the enter.
prise Of the merchants and resi-
dents Of a town. If a town does
not reach out after the trade it will
only come as it has to and the
town will only grow as it is forced
to. But if the merchants go after
the business in the surrounding
country, advertise in every way
and make good every word of ad-
vertising, the trade would come
from every increasing radius and
the town gain reputation for be-
ing wide awake and will forge TO
