For genuine and unadultsrated vim.
push and enterprise, the Commercial |
association Of Empire has the similar
organizations Of more prstentious cities
thoroughly outclassed, and the best
reason for this 10 the fact that there
is aa unity Of purpose up the
business and social interests Of the en-
tire community, eliminating petty diff
ferencee. Commercial associations,
like armies, are much more effectual
when we'll supported, and the live peo-
people of Empire believe in this true
ism>for practically every person in that
thriving little city takes = personal
pride in the commercial association.
Idaho Springs, with its more prstsn-
tious population and resources, was
given many valuable pointers of the
''get-toGether" spirit when . dozen
representative citizens visited Empire
last Sunday as guests of the Empire .
