Waterfowl Booming.

The editors Of WATERFOWL Public
Opinion issued a boom edition OF 46
pages from their New Duplex press
on December 10, which indicates that
the Way brothers, proprietors, know
how to run a newspaper as we'll as
build up a town. This big edition
was printed for the purpose Of show
ing Watertown's growth and telling
In a condensed way how the public
spirited men Of that town spent one
million and a half dollars in improve
ments this year. Watertown has the
best location in the state for a big
city. Nature has provided every
thing and the citizens Of that city
will do the rest.
1t was fortunate for Watertown
when the Way brothers decided to
make that city their headquarters, be-
cause they represent progressive bust
ness policies OF the highest order, and
have the courage OF their convictions.
They believed in the future of Water
town and decided to help make it one
Of the most beautiful cities in the
state. They plan and work and push,
and have the assistance Of men of
men of means who believe that Water
town should become a city of the
first class.
One Of the most beautiful lakes in
the entire country lies at her door,
and Is already furnishing the city
with pure water. 1t will become a
great summer resort and is already
noted for its excellent boating and
fishing, and has a hundred cottages
or more for the convenience Of sum-
mer residents.
We congratulate the Way brothers
and the public spirited men Of that
city over the splendid results Of their
enterprise for 1910.
