CONFIDENCE RESTORED.
PROSPERITY ASSURED

Results of the election have had an
immediate and most wholesome ef-
feet upon the business of the country
Wall street stocks have already ad-
vanced, many New England mills are
reSuming operations with a full force
of employees, and wages are advancing
in several manufactures employing a
large working force.
Taft's election certainly prevented
StagnatiOn and perhaps panic de-
spite all declarations to the contrary
preceding the battle of ballots. The
industrial world breathes easier than
it would have done had Bryan been
elected, fact that cannot he dis
puted. We can find ample proof of
this right here in our own city of
Grand Rapids from the expressions of
business men without regard to party
affiliations. All over Wisconsin as in
almost every other state of tie Union
many new enterprises and increased
activity in established ones were held
in abeyance pending the outcome
with the certainty that there would
be nothing new doing should Bryan
win. The east is rapidly taking on
new industrial life, and a complete
recovery from the lurryo f 1907 will
soon be evident in every section of
our blessed land.
The coming year is certainly aglow
with fruitful promise TO the whole
nation and to no portion more than to
Wisconsin and to no section of the
state more than to Grand Rapids and
all of Wood County.

FIRST BAND CONCERT
NOVEMBER "a

Members of the city band are pre-
pairing for the first concert to be given
on Tuesday evening, November 24th.
This will be the first,one of the series
to be given this winter, 1t will be
remembered how popular these con-
cerJs were last winter and we under
stand that they will be even better
this year. furthermore the band
needs financial help to aid them in
paying for new instruments recently
purchased, therefore we hope the
business men and others. will secure
season tickets to help the band boys
accomplish excellent results in this
undertaking. A good band is credit
to the community in which it exists
and therefore should be well patron
lied and supported, that it may be
second to none in cities of this size
and population. Have you a seasons
ticket? If not, why not? Place your
order now. Any of the band boys
will sell you a season ticket. They
want to know how much money they
can count on from the sale of season
tickets.
