Every Citizen Must Help.

Keokuk as a city needs the backing
OF every Keokuk citizen, and the In
dustrial Association is the medium
through which all may work. Two

great change in the Industrial activ-
ity OF the city, and with the indus
trial campaign resting upon such a
thorough foundation as has been es-
tablished during the last two years,
the time is here for concerted effort.
Let everybody get behind Mr.. Towne
and the board of directors for a big
ger, better, buster Kaokuk. This
short resume OF the work up to the

trial Association has had a part. The
next two years will see the work
broaden out. Old ideas will be con-
tinusd where they have brought sue

teal The field is getting bigger. and
the work Is enlarging, not only by
its own forcs but because Mr.. Towns,
as manager, Is adding to 1t every day.
