HOW TO HELP TULSA BECOME \
BETTER CITY.

The existence OF cities of many
thousands in localities that are not
so favored in scores of respects as isl
that in which Tulsa Is located, is an
indication Of what can be accomplish
ed here. Add to the natural resources
the enterprises that are already here,
and we have an array OF features that
assures the future of the city. With
out much effort 1t will naturally ad-
vance until commanding greatness II
achieved, but there is no use In wait
ing for this Indeed a slow growth is
but little ahead of standing still. and
standing stll is but another way of
speaking of retrogression.
II is the bustling. enterprising town
that is attracting attention nowadays,
and this sprt exhibited in Tulsa in a
greater degree than now exists, will
not only accomplish the desires of the
Commercial club and other organlza-
tions founded and maintained for the
good of the city, but will insure per-
petual progress. 1t is "A scriptural
truth that ''city set on hill cannot
be hid" and the same authority ad-
monishes against the practice of hid
ing a light under a bushel." 1t is ad-
vertising the truth that turns the
wheels of prosperity, and 1t is as es-
sential to advertise n city along the
lines IL merits as II is to advertise an
enterprise of any kind. Make known
the many excellent things to be found
in a life in Tulsa, tell the foreigner
the truth, place it before his eyes,
and investments and Industrial enter
prises will seek expansion here.
If a manufacturing establishment
seeks a new location, or wishes TO es
tablsh but a branch as many are
now doing, it is necessary to show
why Tulsa should be the place select
ed. II is fact, too, that such inst
tutions are a chief element in the
progress of the city. Those that give
employment to many and particularly
those which utilize products of the
surrounding country, are the most
desirable here the same as any other
place. The time is rapidly coming
when II will not be necessary to send
live stock to the different points OF
the compass. The packing industry
is already well founded in Tulsa, and
Il Tulsans will stand by the industrial
concerns which have taken up their
homes here, they can and viii grow;
but they can't work If local persons
won't hestow patronage upon them,
There is no reason why Tulsa cannot
become a center for dozens Of indus
tries. Gas, coal, water, climate, pop
Misunderstanding is favorable.
The year 1912 is yet young. Let us
go out and get some of these indus
trial and manufacturing plants. 1t
takes lots of things to make a good
city-grit, vim, push snap. energy,
schools morality. churches. II takes
harmony OF action, cordiality, adver-
tising. Talk about 1t, write about II;
speak well of It; healthy place, but
seek to improve it; advertise its pa
pers; patronze Its merchants; elect
good men to office. Do all you can.
How to hurt a city is told aptly by
. rambling STRAY CLEANED from an
sxchange. as follows:
Kick; keep kicking; and don't quit
licking; one pull one way and one
.'other; 20 to other towns and buy
