BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Board of Trade President
made Good With the People.

Systematic town boosting is q fea-
ture OF American business activity
which aims at the genera good Instead
Of personal profit. One western town
had a board of trade which had sleft
along for years without doing anythiI"

was an honor no longer sought for.

and the new people were made to feel
at home. When this personal atten,

stamped envelopes and made ready to

the newcomer. and he was asked to
address them to his friends "back

and the population doomed. OF that
idea many new ones were born. The
young man has been several times re-
elected president of the board of trade
and he can have anything the people
of that town can give him.
