and it is now up to you residents OF
Little Falls ana Morrison county to
build up one of the best manufacture
ing towns and the best and wealthiest
farming communities in the state.
To do this you must all-Yes Every
Man., Woman and Child-believe IN
your town and county and talk ana
think it at every opportunity. Do not
allow anyone to make false state
ments about your town and county,
and its wonderful possibilities keep
fully informed on every matter OF
importance AMI especially of the
lines of goods manufactured and the
crops and products of the county.
The amount of wages paid out
monthly by the different manufactur'
ing industries, the amount of money
paid either monthly or annually by
the different creamerles in the county,
the amount realized by farmers from
the sale Of stock, also the amount re-
ceived from the sale of grain and
other crops each year. in short get
familiar with what your city and
such way that you can and will
talk it intelllgenly on every occasion.
This is a matter that I believe the
school children of the entire county
should be drilled in. They should
be taught to believe IN their own town
and county. It makes them better
citizens.
Be broad enough to help build up
every town in the county. If Royal
ton, Pierz, Randall, Swanville or any
other town or village in the county
wants anything turn out and work
Just as hard for it as though you were
trying to secure it for Little Falls.
Then when you want something you
are in position to not only expect but
will get their support.
BE BOOSTERS and work for your
own town and county. If there are
any Knockers get after them and
convert them. IF you cannot get them
to see things in the right way, invite
them to move cut and make room for
someone who is willing to work for
the best interests of the whole COM
munlty. You can build up one Of the
best ana richest districts in the North
west, if you will All Work Together:
Now jump IN, the water Is fine. get
busy and talk, think, dream and pray
for your town and county and you
cannot fail to succeed. fully believe
that Minnesota is now on the eve of
the most prosperous period the state
has ever known, and there is no Sec
ton of the state or the Northwest
where so many undeveloped resources
awaits the man with energy and
capital seeking location for almost
any line Of manufacturing as does
Little Falls and Morrison county.
You have a fully developed water
power, second to none in the United
States, an abundance of timber of
nearly every variety, Its granite
deposits, which for monumental, orna-
mental and building purposes is
equal, if not superior to anything
found in America and with it's lately
discovered iron ore possibilities you
are certainly in the front rank, and
last but not least is the large area OF
as fine farming lands as are to be
found II any part of the world, which
can be purchased at prices away
below what the same quality of
land sells for in other districts not
nearly as favorably located.
And now a word to the real estate
men and land agent. Don't act the
part Of pirates and try to steal your
competitors prospective purchasers.
You will never succeed in building up
a prosperous and permanent business
by such tactics, get out and find your
own purchasers, and if you meet with
a purchaser that you are unable to
satisfy, turn him over to some other
agent who has what he wants and get
division of the commission, but do
not let purchaser get away without
buying. Never Knock your com
pettor g business, in doing so you are
injuring your own and IN the
majority of cases the buyer will
get disguised and leave the county
without investing, while If he hears
nothing but favorable reports from
every one he meets he will soon fill
with enthusiasm and decide that he
wants to live in a community where
everyone is 20 optimistic. :.
I have had the privilege of living in
two towns (now both good live cities),
Sioux City, Iowa, and Winnipeg,
Canada where the opportunities no
where equalled what you have to
build up city from, but both places
have become noted for. their rapid
and substantial growth and 1t is all
owing to the fact that they are both
made up OF q people who fully believe
in their own town and district, and
who never lose an opportunity to let
the world know it. There is neither
room Or time for knockers IN
Winnipeg and it you will all get
together. I mean the people Of the
whole county, and boost for Morrison
county and Little Falls, you will be
surprised at the amount Of good each
one OF You can do and how soon you
