LET ALL PULL TOGETHER.
Then Maybe That Prospective Fac
tory Will Come 10 the Town.

Nothing helps more 10 build up a
town commercially than the locating Of
a reputable, up to date manufacturing
concern "in our midst" This sort Of
establishment also helps 10 build up a
town socially, for 1t supplies employ
ment and wages to young people who
otherwise might not earn money
enough 10 take part IN local social af-
fairs. Every factory. large or small,
that any town can get adds to the VI
nlity Of the town and community. In
commenting on a proposition recently
received from q firm that wants a two
acre factory site In Cold Spring. \. Y,
with guarantee OF steady employ
ment for fifty men, the or OF the
Sentinel IN that town makes so-e re-
marks which are applicable ~ any
other town IN the United States.
There are only two things needed
unity on the part Of the citizens OF
Cold Spring and a cordial welcome TO
the new industry.
80 long as the citizens Of peekskill
were divided the village made no prog
ress When these divisions ended and
d spirit OF enterprise. construction and
progress was shown the recent marked
progress OF peekskill started.
Every city in the country has a
similar history. Industries do not come
unless they are solicited or at least
made welcome.
cold Spring has missed getting two
or three factories through lack OF a
united spirit on the part Of her citi-
zens. Why not get over all these petty
jealousies and unite 10 help each other
and 20 upbuild the c0mmunityf We
would all be the gamers from such
policy, gamers not only IN money and in
population, but gamers In good will. In
hope, IN public spirit and I'm all that
makes for communal improvement aud
FOR individual good flowing therefrom.
is It not high time 10 get rid OF
petty misunderstanding and factional-
ism and Join TO bring industries and
new residents TO the town. Let the
motto be:
"Unite FOR the common good"
