The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1910-01-28
VOW IS NE mn.

Nun Is IN I'M.
Looking them all over, we doubt
# there : any among the interior
cities Of the South that have been
builded by the present generation
that can exhibit more points Of ex-
cellence in many respects than
Greenwood. Her phenomenal
growth has become steady. If
measured by every standard that
counts in estimating the worth of a
city, ours ranks among the best.
Her citizens are the best on the top
of the earth and are overenthusias-
tic in and have great faith in her
future. They do not lag in exert
ing every effort toward the full de-
lveopment OF the city which owns
them.
Greenwood shows a most excel
lent municipal equipment, and its
tax rate, taking into consideration
its progress in building, is low; no
purer water can be found; insurance
rates are exceedingly low. and its
educational equipment is of the
first order, with abundant facilities
and under admirable direction; it's
social standards have a secure foun-
dalton in the moral law; its com
mercial strength is evinced in the
big volume of business that is trans
acted; and its industrial opportunity
is readily recognized by anyone
who will take the trouble to look
into the advantages it presents.
We who live here know all these
facts to be true. What we must do
is to convince those elsewhere. Our
excellent Business League is doing
its part in imparting these facts to
the outer world, and needs your
full cooperation. We accept the
above facts as a matter Of course,
and really, most of us have no ad.
equate appreciation of them; but
the thing to be done is to acquaint
the outer world with these facts and
to do it now. We have an excel
lent foundation upon which to build
a splendid city, and the next ten
years will be a period of unprece-
denied growth and development for
the South. It's eco South" instead
of eco West" That is absolutely
assured in the eagerness with which
money and enterprise are today
seeking investment and opportun-
ity in this section; and those local.
tiles will reap the best of this har.
vest whose merits and advantages
are most widely known. That is
, the common sense of the matter and
most of the progressive cities o.
this State and the South realize il
and are accordingly engaged in
campaign of publicity.
It behooves Greenwood to do tn.
same thing. Already widely known
all over the South and parts of thu
North, which recognition is the re
suit of the splendid work. of GU:
business league, we will experience
small difficulty in effecting a cam
/ paign of publicity. The main issu
, is to start it now and catch the frs
train that heads southwark with it
loads of money and enterprise anx
: ious for investment. Once acquaint
ed with the many advantages am
merits of this commercial metrop
r oils and the fertile country tina
8 backs it, a great volume will b
lured into our section. W. shout
= enter that competition for prefer
9 ence, because Greenwood is capabl
of verifying every claim that
makes.
Let US shove Greenwood a fe,
more shades into the limelight an
attract the capitalist and investor
Our future is partially dcpende1
: upon this. Visit the Bushes
League and. show your interest
our city future and rol up you
sleeves for this can paign of pull
licity Now is the time.
