COMMENTS ON THE
WEXATCAEEEE SPIRIT
BREWSTER HERALD SAYS IT'S
THE BEST TOWN IN THE IN
LAND EMPIRE-SAYS 1T MAY
BE DUPLICATED AT BREWSTER

Commenting upon the Wenatchee
spirit and it's result in the building
up of city at this place, D. L. Gill
lispie, in the Brewster Herald, sees
a possibility of duplication in the
town of Brewster. The article says:
''It is admitted on all sides that
our sister city, Wenatchee' is the
most alive and up to date city in
the Inland Empire. Those passing
through this bustling and progress
i've town, seeing the big red apple"
displayed everywhere and hear APP
pie talk on every hand, naturally con-
cludes that it must be the apple that
has worked such marvels.
''The apple is only a result Back
of the apple you will find first class
and well managed irrigation system,
and back of the irrigation system
marvelously rich soil and an ideal
climate perfectly adapted to the rails
ing of choice and high class fruit.
This is a remarkable combination,
we must admit and the true reasons
back of the wonderful results that
have been attained are very apparent
to those who will visit Wenatchee
and stay long enough to catch the
Wenatchee spirit
"Now what is back of this mar
velous Transformation from a sage
brush waste to the most productive
valley in the country, all accom-
| plished within the past ten years?
It's a united people fully alive to
their opportunities and working first,
last and all the time for the interests
of all the people. When water was
offered them, every man got out and
did his part to secure it, they were
all boosters After they were able
to demonstrate the superior quality
of the products they could raise,
every quarter where their fruit and
products would be admitted. They
captured first prizes right and left
and in order not to hide their light
under busheI' they spent large
sums of money advertising their
country to the end that today no sec
ton of the United States is as well
and favorably known as Wenatchee
valley.
"The accomplishment of such mar
velous success is due to co-opera-
ition wholly, to the spirit Of progress
Iiveness that meets the other fellow
half way and then goes him one bet
ter
Brewster, with duplicate OF
Wenatchee soil and climate, and
every other element at hand to pro-
fit by the success attained by her
sisted city, now has the opportunity
of falling into the wake of her sue
cess and forge ahead as no section
of our great state has ever advanced.
Brewster today, has offered her the
key which will open the seal now
holding back the embodiment of her
fondest hopes. The irrigation of our
arid lands. Here we are with the
majority of land holders on one side
who fully appreciate the full worth
of the opportunity offered and what
it will mean to them, to their neigh
bors and county, and on the other
side, a minority refusing to cooper
ate. Why not imbibe the Wenatchee
spirit and all pull together whenever
and wherever we can to advance our
interests. Surely, we can't ever eX-
pect a more favorable time to ac-
complish our well justified hopes.
Nature has endowed us with every
element that spells success, but every
man must do his part to carry for
ward the essential means by which
these elements must be combined in
order that each may enjoy his full
share of this success. Why not get
| together now"
