traffic conditions, and as a result OF
his work we find that Wausau il
grossly Disseminated against on many
items OF both inbound and outbound
freight. Most class and commodity
rates from points east of Chicago tt
Wausau are as nigh as to Minneapolis
while on some important comnaodi-
ties shipped from the West, Wausau
pays Milwaukee rates. We are caught
both coming aud going, and we hope
soon to be able to present to you a
concise statement of just what this
discrimination costs Wausau shippers
and consumers each year. We are al
ready convinced that more favorable
rates can be secured and maintained
through an efficient traffic depart
menu of the association and we antic-
ipate that the necessary support for
such department will be given.
INDUSTRIES.
Many people seem to think that an
advancement association or Cham
Der of Commerce has some magic
power to secure new industries for a
town and that these industries should
arrive the minute such an organiza-
ton is formed. Such, however, is
not the case. Most of Wausau's pres
ent industries have been the result of
a slew, steady growth of investments
made by Wausau citizens, and most
of its future industries will develop
in the same way. During the past
six months, we have been asked to
endorse and promote the sale of stock
in Wausau in amounts of from $4,000
to 100000 each for numerous schemes
and untried inventions. There are
many opportunities to provide free
buildings and big bonuses, or to put
up large amounts of real money
against some one else's experience
that do not appeal to us as good bust
ness for either a citizen or a COM
munity, and in heading off schemes
OF this sort we believe that we are
doing as useful service to Wausau
as we will when we secure new in
duS5rieS.
On the other hand, there do occur
instances in which little encourage
ment at the right time will go far
toward getting wholly useful and
legitimate enterprises on their feet.
and we have reason to believe that
negotiations now in progress along
this line will soon result favorably.
Naturally, until such negotiations
are completed, nothing best be said
as to their character.
Our experience so far convinces us
OF this Occasionally we will be able
to bring in some good-sized enterprise
from distance because of our natur-
al resources of materials and power;
but, generally, new industries will
grow up amongst us under the guild
ance of our own citizens with appro-
pirate help from the Advancement
Association and this means steady
progress for Wausau.
Plans which we are now working on
for making the many natural advant-
ages of Wausau and Marathon county
better known will soon be submitted
to you for approval. In the mean
time, remember that every member
of the Advancement Association has
voice in its proceedings and that
we ask for and desire every sugges-
tion and criticism which will help
make Wausau bigger and better
