A BUSINESS INDICATOR

In looking over the list Of subscrib-
ers to the advertising fund / was inn
pressed with the fact that those as
rule who will profit most by the results
looked for. subscribed the least. / was
particularly struck with the inconsist-
ency OF the condition when l ran down
the list and observed the contributions
by hotel proprietors. Twenty-Five dol
lars represented the sum total Of the
contributions by the hotels-and who,
pray you. benefits more than they? Not
a single restaurant was on the list but
some may not have yet been given an
opportunity. The absence Of many Of
the real estate firms was particularly
striking, a few Of them having put
down however, in a way to indicate
their confidence in the city And the
grocers-weIl to run down the list one
would think that only two or three fo
them had any particular interest in the
proposition Of adding to their bust
ness.
Every enterprising citizen Of Chick
asha should from time to time watch
and study the subscription lists secur
ed for public advancement if he wish
es to really know who the town build
ers are. In fact It is an excellent
Indicator Of the business methods and
trustworthiness OF men in business.
The man who subscribes to city build
ing funds according to his means can
be put down every time as a good
man to deal with.
