GREENWOOD.

.rt,e General belief that big fire is the
- of starting a great booin and an
hleaf af better business in most cities and
ela ,e has proven to be true of Green
lod lo"I- Sussex County, Delaware. Begin
W. W. ,cith the great explosion of dyna-
ms ne If a dozen or more years ago, Green
M MI started to be known in the business
Wa Then came the closing of the
W. W., saloon which caused better condi-
oPs for most of the poorer citizens who
tleJ nj bsen accustomed to the intemperate,
ne,1 j eren the moderate use of alcoholic
ua~ages anu and that was helpful of the
Oe,rs-d movement in business affairs
brt the great fire, which at the time was
.,.e,,o1t to be terrible blow to Green
rood and its future prosperity, came
.t,rse wears ago. and since then the town
hos arisen out of the ruins a new, pros
nerous and hustling town. The large
~, school house costing Sl2, ,O00 the
,-,orv brick stores built after modern
architectural designs, and the handsome
5,rellings with the modern couveniences
of water. electric light and bath re oms.
Iare made Greenwood not only known
az on the map, but it is real town, with
tbe comforts and hustling enterprise that
many other older places would be proud
~ possess. Where is there another
HBooster store" that is keeping before
tbe people, as that of R. Emory Wiley
in Greenwood The people of Green
,rood are alive to the real cash value of
modern improvements bring to a town. /
and this spirit has been growing there for
several years. Greenwood is a railroad
;unction, it is true, but that does not ac-
count for her progress; it's the real live
neople that Greenwood is responding to.
let the town grow and prosper according
10 the deserts of her business people.
This is recognized by the advertisers of =,
staple things, such as paints, oils, ETC.
and the Sherwin- Williams Paint Com
panv in another column of the Milford
Chronicle, calls attention to their accred-
tied agent at Greenwood by their large
displayed advertisement.
The farming and fruit growing lands
around Greenwood are some of the best
in upper Sussex county, and the farm
houses along the main highways are
above the average in size, in pretentious
comfort and in their surroundings. Green
wood has the largest catsup manufactur-
ing plant on the Delaware peninsula, and
there are indications that even it will be
enlarged.
Good roads, well managed railroad
facilities, good schools, liberal churches
and population that reads the news
papers, will make any country prosper-l
1us, and Greenwood has all of these. Let
1thers worry, and not Greenwood. V
