Leave for Panama Exposition

Among the first to leave the village
for the Panama Exposition, which was
historically opened recently, are Mr..
and Mrs. John F. Wirth, who left Tues
day night. The trip which they have
planned to make is not only considered
to be an excellent one because of its
scenic value, but also the purpose that
Mr.. and Mrs. Wirth have in mind in
making it. Before leaving for the west
many requests were made of him by
we'll known residents of the village to
visit their relatives and former Clio
residents who are scattered about the
western states. Knowing Mr.. Wirtfi
as we do, we are positive that he will
be able to take to the former Clioites a
message of good cheer as to the pros
perity and advancement of the village
during the last few years, which he is
as proud of as any of the other residents
of the village.

CLIO MILK COMPANY
STATES POSITION
NOT INTERESTED AT ALL IN VII
LACE ELECTION
Stands Neutral and Only Asks the
Support of All Glasses of
Citizens

To the Citizens of Clio:
We are informed that the Clio Con-
densed Milk Company is being dragged
into the discussion of the pavement
proposition. Let us say that the Milk
Company is engaged in the manufac-
tdre of food products and not in poll
tics in any way. The pavement con-
troversy is wholly matter between
individuals in which our corporation is
taking absolutely no Part. The writer
regrets that any Misunderstanding
should arise and wishes to state that
the milk company is not in politics and
does not wish to be. The company
erected plant which would be credit
to any city and is also valued ac-
QUESTION to the surrounding country.
1t has invested its money, hired home
labor rs far as possible and is an asset
to every property holder within the
radius of its activities. Ebert Hub
bard said, Don't kick the COW, be gen.
Tie. III U1ednS HlOTe Ulllk, anu the
same illustration, in sense, applies
to the factory. This is the age
of cooperation and the success of this
plant will certainly extend in a measure
to everyone in Clio and vicinity. Is it
not good business then, for everyone to
lend to the factory their moral support
and not drag it into a general discus
sion over the pavement or over some
intended law suit? Since the inception
of the factory, the market conditions
have been unfavorable but now with
the European war and no impoftations
of dry milk, the future looks better
and more favorable. The best inter-
ests of the city are our interests and
we do not wish to be drawn into local
politics at all. We are absolutely neu-
tral, wishing only to serve our patrons
by being able to manufacture and sell
milk products in such way as to be
able to pay the good price for milk and
thereby build up successful business.
So kindly leave us out of this discus
sion; and don't criticise the factory, for
our success will be shared by every
taxpayer.
Yours very truly,
The Clio Condensed Milk Company,
Per Charles Wolohan, Pres.
