The end that ls hoped to be reached

, must either lend toward success or
failure, win permit OF no sorrow on
the part of those bending every effor.
To make Tulsa the city which she Is
Ientitled to be, one of supmere Import

. The realization that a time for ac-
lion has arisen is well understood by
leach citizen. And Industrial Day, as
j 1t is To be- observed m Tulsa. together
with the purpose of the day, Is one
(which is Big enough and broad
enough and so vital to the welfare
llOf the citN that the help of each
person viii be- felt. the help Of one
