With Some Pertinent Ideas for Up.

Win some Pertinent IDEAS Tor up
building of Rocky Ford
In talking to Geo. D. Lee. who is man.
aging the Toggery Shop for Mr.. Mcmillan
and himself. it develops that Mr.. Lee is
natural born booster.
A Coloradoan by adoption. he is going
to make Rocky Ford his permanent home
and is filled with enthusiasm over the fut-
ure Of this city, and says he:
"Rocky Ford has all the natural advan-
tages that go to make good sized city
and with little concerted action on the
part ofits business men it would soon rank
such cities as Oklahoma City. Okla. Dallas
Fort Worth and Houston. Texas.
1t has better climate. better land. better
everything than other places which have
outstripped this in growth and while Rocky
Ford is maintaining splend;dly increas-
ing growth. much might be done to foster
this.
Judging from what other places have
done. it is apparent that the growth Of a
city debdnds on its joint enterprise. In
other words. its growth should be foster
ed by judicial advertising. just as. busi-
ness man encourages his business growth
by telling the public about what he has
which they need.
Now that winter is approaching and
the farmers Of the east and middle west
have garnered their crops and will brave
the billiards and storms Of the rigorous
eastpassing the time by reading of warm
er places where the sun shines all the
year and water faileth not; why not fore
stall the "wsnderlust" that is bound to
seize them before spring and inoculate the
health germs of Rocky Ford in their
think tanks. so that when they do get up
and go forth to newer fields, it will be with
one way ticket to Rocky Ford in the
Garden Of the Valley ready to meet and
verify the stories Of thousand dol
lars worth Of eantaloupes from three acres
and eight hundred dollars an acre from
apples.
