Fills Definite Need.
For the territory in which it is
placed, Fullerton fills a definite need.
It is a close distributing point-a
nearby shipping point. Farmers ship
out their grain, stock and other ar
ticles produced on the farm, and buy
supplies at the stores. A certain few
business places exist for rhe necessary
users of the farmers and anything
that did not fill the test of usefulness,
would fail. So Fullerton, with it's few
residences and business houses, and
its small population, may be called a
fine little town, since it fills q necas-
sary role in the drama of American:
gricultural progress.
