HAVE YOU MADE GOOO"7

/. To the farmers and citizens of
Elko county we want to have just
a little heart to heart" talk.
In the work of starting and
successfully conducting the
Industrial Development enterprise
VIII ch will be permanent part of
this paper. and a most worthy plan
for advertising all Elko county,
there is no more effectual feature
than that of publishing the letters
written and signed by those of you
who have accomplished some good
in your respective pursuits.
Such letters when read by people
back east"who arc contemplating
coming tn Elko county to buy a
farm or make their home, had far
rather learn from the man who
has made good" or who is on
the way toward such coveted goal
than read so much purely advertIs-
ing literature. Will you write
this letter for the Independent, to
be published for the benefit of a
good cause? You will do Elko
county a favor by telling what
YOU have found good by living
here; write from your own view
point, your experience, and in
your WI good way. Don't say
that you have neven written for
publication. Give us the material
based upon what you have done
on a ranch, or farm in Elko
county, and your letter will be
arranged if required and be
published in a manner which will
GO far toward telling the outside
world what are the possibilities
for obtainging an independence in
Elko county.
No one is charged any thing for
publishing these Industrial letters
and there is no better method to
give much dependable publicity 10
this county. Will you start in
right now, don't put off the letter,
you will help engender the COM
munity interest along this pnOd
line.
The Independent will start mail
ing these Industrial Issues within
a short time to many prospective
investors and farm buye : in other
states, so hurry along your letters
