Keokuk is a city of homes. The
statement is time worn but 1t is as
true as it is old. When we deny the
occupants of these homes the privilege
of knowing what Is made in Keokuk
we destroy their loyalty to our city.
We should help every cause that will
keep them in close touch with the
things that are actually made here.
