The Comrade. (Winnfield, La.) 1890-1914, 1910-08-05

We are all fully confident that
these things can be accomplished:
but how9 |
That Is the primary question not
only in an organization OF this sort
but is equally so with regard 70
the dividend paying qualities of
any business undertaking. For
instance, man has some idle
capital which is not earning one
cent. He knows full we'll that this
money Is capable OF earning re-
turns, but how? The instant that
he believes that he sees how, out
goes the capital. We believe that
the Winfield Commercial Club
can become an important factor in
the development of Winfield and
Vim Parish. How? BY hearty,
earnest and enthusiastic support
Of the citizens of Winfield. With
our four competing lines of rail.
road, with our unlimited water
supply, our vast forests at our
door. our climate, our unopened
lands which are literally dirt
cheap, our churches, our schools,
our industries already in operation,
our idle Winfield capital and last
but not least a population made
up from class OF people who are
much above the average socially
and morally found in towns of
equal size. form combination Of
attractions to the man from the
crowded Eastern districts which
only demands publicity in order to
accomplish our development. In
order to do this, advertising in au
extensive, systematic manner is
necessary. This costs money. The
organization is running an adyer-
tisement in the Manufacturers
Record, which costs about twenty
five dollars per month. This will
reach a class Of investors whom we
wish to interest, but there are
hundreds Of other places where
small amounts on money we'll spent
will bring big results. Our mem.
bership dues are only Sl.O0 per
month and you can readily see
that with a membership of only
twenty five, it will be practically
impossible to accomplish anything
along this line. Every citizen Of
Winfield should be a member,
whether you are a capitalist, mer-
chant, business, professional or
laboring man. If a strong effort
is made by our citizens, and the
efforts put forth in systematic
way, within twelve months time,
YOU will have more than received
your twelve collars back in the

other commodities we have to offer

Of your property and the growth
OF your town. We believe that
/ the Winfield Commercial Club
has fully demonstrated its ability,
and as the necessity for some such
organization is made only more
