to live in this town then stand up
for It; say all the good things you can
about II, and II you know no good,
then silence Is golden; do what you

engaged In legitimate business; don't
send away for everything you want
and expect the business firms to keep
them In stock to suit the within OF one
or two customers. The success Of
your fellow townsmen will be your
success. No man liveth to himself,
and no man does business independ-
ent of his fellow business men.
