ADVANTAGES

From the New Castle journal
The natural advantages that New
Castle possesses can be developed at
small cost, if properly managed.
To succeed in developing these advan-
tages, the figure of self must be elimi-
mated and a whole substituted.
I'm other Words the opinion of one
should not be the opinion of all Each
of MS should feel responsibility TO-
wards the ultimate result of a greater
New Castle.
Too many shirk commercial duty 10

tinued indifference of those towards a
larger city should not be q stumbling
block in the way of the town builder.
Every member IN New Castle should not
only be a member of the New Castle
Board of Trade but all members should
be present at each meeting. There will
never be a greater town here than there
Is today If we hide ourselves from pos
sible obligation for the good Of the town.
New Castle should he larger. New Cas-
tie can be larger. It's q question of how
much you will do towards advertising
the resources of your home city. There
should be enough town loyalty to assist

while. we hear some one say, that New
Castle can come 10 the front. but that
particular individual is miles from "the

Commercial industry and prosperity

Newark is in court again. We would

But in order for the question TO be

more publicity should attend these liti.

only right and fair that the taxpayers
who pay the bill should at least be
acquainted with questions at issue. Let

desire to bring this matter up for any
sensational presentation or discussion

question and Judge accordingly. With
