OF the large number of tourists who
have visited Canon City during the
last six weeks it is safe to say that the
majority of them have commented We
ry favorably upon the air of prosper
ity and contentment which they have
observed in their drives about the
community. Everywhere they have
seen evidences of thrift and progress,
than which there are no better assur-
ances of material growth and of a
happy, satisfied people.
The neat, well kept homes of the
people of Canon City and its environs
are eloquent in praise of the thrift
and industry of those who occupy
them, and, in most cases, suggest an
increasing bank account from year to
year. New homes are being built in
every part of the city and its sur
roundings and nowhere is there to be
found any of that enforced idleness
which means hunger and suffering
for the few and depression for all. 1t is
such a condition as we have here that
makes the community desirable one
