houses that carry anything from /

from a pair of pillow gears to the
finest set of surrey harness, from {
cart to the finest surrey or buggy
one electrical or supply house
splendid railroad facilities for the
travelling public or for shipping
purposes; as lovely park as any
city of its size anywhere. In fact,
we have as many advantages and
as few disadvantages as any place
ever knew of for a good, live,
prosperous, clean city.
Now then, my reader, do we
appreciate what we have as we
should? Do we heed the injunc
ton to provide first for our own
hou Sc oldg | take it that we
should do this, not in selfish way,
but in business way. What is to
the interest of Union City is indi-
vidually to the interest of every
one within her reach when you
patronize her business industries
and enrich its corporations you
open up greater demand for new
enterprises that call for more of
what you produce, that add to the
growth and wealth not only of the
city but to all the surrounding
country. There fore, all things
equal, we are under obligations to
patronize and protect the inter-
ests of Union City.
For example, take the milling
interests of our city. They handle
more grain every year than is
raised in a radius of five miles of
the city, grind ten tim IS more
flour, meal, bran, &C., than is con-
sumed by its people, thereby
bringing much more money into
our county than would come other
wise. They run day and night,
giving employment to hundreds of
men who in turn spend their earn
ings in our midst, helping all to a
share. Now is it not our duty to
patronize these mills, all things
equal, in preference to other mills
away from here that do not pro-
duce one hour of labor for us9
What applies to the mill will APP
ply to all other interests.
When our city was as first de-
scribed in this article you could
not dispose of everything you had
to sell as now. Why is it that
you can sell every pound of pork,
every head of beef, every pound
Of butter, every chicken, all the
eggs-in fact, everything that Is
marketable-in Union City at the
present time! 1t is because of her
enterprising men finding markets.
Take for instance a few years back,
when it looked as if we were not |
going to find a market for our
wheat, when one of our enterpris-
ing citizens, Herman Dietzel, |
stepped to the front, opened
market, and everyone was the
beneficiary. want to say right
mere that there has never been a
better friend to Union City and
The surrounding country than Her
nan Dietzel; and in appreciation of
t, | am glad the people have made
him a wealthy man.
Now, my readers, let's stand by
,ur own Union City; work to her
pest interests; assist our splendid
Board of Mayor and Aldermen
n building her up.
Our two splendid newspapers
deserve no little credit for the
prosperity of our city. Their edi-
ors are ever awake, fearless and
in her interests; always
eady to protect her best interests
nd keep her clean, prosperous
ity.
With very best wishes for her
future w.
