The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1909-11-26
get TOGETHER and BOOST
oWoSS0'S OPP0RlUNE time Is HERE
PROSPECTS NEVER so BRIGHT As
NOW FOR WONDERFUL AD.
VANCEMENT.

our dJIenJlOn mas recently Deeu
drawn to an advertisement which
appeared in the columns of Bir
mingham, Alabama, newspaper, paid
for by real live, wide awake, up
to-date business firm which believes
in the city in which it does business.
1t appealed to us so strongly that we
are re-printing it with the wish that
every reader will substitute the
then get so imbued with the senti-
ments expressed that it will soon be-
come second nature to Boost"
Owosso. And why shouldn't we do
just that? There's no better home
city in the state. True, there are
larger cities, cities with more priv
ileges and opportunities, but where
is there better place in which to
make your home and to enjoy life.
Then again Owosso will grow if we
"get together and boost" and we can
then have some of the things other
larger places have. There never
was-possibly never will be-a
brighter prospect for Owosso than
that which exists today. Our fac
tories are all running with full
forces, giving employment to a large
army of men-and many women
and several of them are formulating
plans for enlargement, which means
more employment, more men who
will come to the city to buy, build or
rent homes, whose earnings will be
spent with business firms of the city
which carry larger and better lines
of goods than can be found in many
cities which make more claims to
greatness than Owosso. Our schools,
churches, fraternal organizations
are the pride of every citizen. We
are shortly to have better railway
connection with points southland
possibly east-of us through the
electric road from Lansing, which
will enable the people in the south
ern part of the county to come to
Owosso on business without taking a
days time as at present. This
means more people will come to
Owosso and some of them will surely
patronize the business firms of the
city. Then there is more than a
prospect of new manufacturing en-
terprises which will ensure great
increase in population. Again, the
good old state of Michigan will soon
spend some of it's dollars to erect a
| fine new armory here to care for Co.
| II; there's a possibility of new Y
| NJ. c. A. building-perhaps not next
| year but before many more roll
around. Aren't these realities and
possibilities enough to encourage
the optimistic spirit in every Owos-
soite SO that we can all "get to-
gether and boost?" But-well, we
J just started to ask you to read what
the Birmingham firm said. Read il
- then boost
This is not an advertisement o
our business, but an Offering of oul
belief and hopes in. Birmingham.
Let's all get together and boos
Birmingham"
Thanks to the business men,
league for this good slogan, It's fine
It's what every business man anC
every well-wisher ought to use
Widows mites would help SO
Yes! Let's all get together and boos
Birmingham" And let everyone o
us say to all of the neighbors out il
the byways: Get the Birmingham
habit, trade in Birmingham
The time is good and ripe for it
The times and prospects and wha
we are doing today justifies every
one of us to Boost Birmingham.
The business mems league is point
ing the way to big things, bette
things, brighter things for Birming
ham, and we owe ii back to them t
support them. Let's get at it an
do it.
We are. We are going to Civ
faAVea -. I. u
is pleasure, and it will grow int
golden grain and come back to u
many fold. We are going to boost

than we have ever done before

know and hope that our boostin
will help you--if it helps Birmins
ham it will.
