Greater Washington proclamation which
that firm, has sent broadcast. say among
other things:
Let us compete with other cities. Com
petition always has been and always will
be the life OF trade. There is not a mer-
Grant In the city who would not gladly
patronize local factories IL 1t was to his adj
vantage to do so. Keep up the enthuiasm.
keep up the aggressiveness for a Greater
Washington. Don't let the spirit of prog
ress die out.
Let US look to our western and to some
of our southern cities as example. Take
Atlanta as an illustration. See what prog
ress she has made since the civil war. Go
through the city, and what do you find?
Manufacturing industries of every sort-a
spirit of hustling and bustling energy. All
the stores doing thriving business: all
the wholesale houses shipping goods every
progress and growth everywhere.
And so let us whoop 1t up-it's con-
Gerted action we want-all for one-let us
spread the contagion of earnestness--let US
enlist a sympathetic spirit for a greater
trade movement from every citizen-such
action must force the municipal author
tiles as well as Congress into an attitude of
favor toward greater industry and CONNER
cial progress Let US all welcome and work
fer outside capital and industry-show
them and induce them to take advantage
of the favorable conditions that obtain here
for the establishment of mills and factories
and wholesale houses and the like.
