BOOMING HIS TOWN.
Now a Young Board os Trade President Made Good" With the People.


 Systematic town boosting is fea- ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instead of personal profit. One western town had board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anythln. in particular, except eating some food once 8 year at q banquet and listening to some spread eagle oratory. says the Plttsburg Dispatch. The organizatio became morihund. aud Its presidency was an honor DO longer sought tor. The directors met and gave the place to young 'lan Of the type i've like to encourage. The young man took his ioh.serious.;.< and went to work. It 1trdy long before he grew an idea of lJown
 Every family that moved to town he spotted Employment was provided for the brcadwinners where necessary. and the new people were made to feel at home. When this personal atten ton had got in It's work, representa- tive of the board of trade 1ntervleweS the head Of the new family. This itl terview WAS Incorporated into letter mimeograpll copies were made. put ta,i stamped envelopes and made ready +n mall. Then the letters were taken te the newcomer. and he was asked tc address them to his friends "bacb east" The schefn> worked like magic and the population boonned. Of thar idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times r> elected president of the board of trade and he can have anything the people of that town can give him.
