MUST FORGE AHEAD

The statement of the Board of
Directors of School District No.
6, which appeared in this paper
last week. shows very conclusive
ly the necessity of a. new High
School building, also that same
be built at once.
There is hardly one person in
a thousand but who, if they pro-
pose changing their residence,
first investigate the schools of
the new town. If the schools do
not measure up to a high stand
ard. then there is but small like
lihood that the proposed change
will be made.
Therefore it is absolutely nec-
essary that to forge ahead any
town must keep its schools up to
the highest standard. This can
not be done unless every advan-
tage is offered both teachers and
pupils.
The bonds must carry. The
growth of Holly will be retarded
many years if they fail so to do.
Only persons holding a tax re-
ceipt for the year 1913 will be
allowed to vote, and only the per-
son in whose name this receipt is
made. A wife cannot vote on q

Rapids is one of the new things that
will be added to the city's business
concerns in the near future.
A corporation has been formed and
a lease taken on the Baker building on
Oak street for this new institution.
This mail order shoe house will in
no way conflict with the local retail
shoe dealers, but will sell shoes to
outsiders only. Houses similar to
this have been established in other
centers and the coming of this con-
Germ to this city shows the importance
of Grand Rapids as distributing cen
ter. The city has already become the
distributing point for large catalog
house in the east, in as much as their
catalogues are sent here to be sent out
from the local post Office.
This new institution it is said will
bear the name Grand Rapids Shoe
company and will be a wholesalers
and manufacturers distributing con-
Germ making the sales exclusively thru
mail orders and delivering by parcel
post.
The catalogue houses are swapping
the country with their literature and
every retail shoe dealer has been try
ing to fight them. This Grand Rap
ids Shoe company will bring to this
city a great deal of trade that has
been going to the big city mail order
houses. 1t can not be denied that
there are great many people living
outside of cities who are what may
be called Catalogue buyers" and it
is the purpose of this new concern to
get this business in the shoe line.
The territory covered will include
several states. This Mail Order
House will increase the postal re-
ceipts of the local post office consider
ably and should help a lot in securing
the Federal building that every citi-
zen hopes to see here.
