Chasing Rainbows

During the past two weeks an ex-
pert promoter has made his headquar-
tiers in Pleasant Grove. and accord
ing to his own statement has secured
over $1,000 in cash and notes to build
an industry in one of the southern
counties Of this state. The writer
personally knows OF at least Ave
prominent local citizens who contri-
buted from 800 to $500 each Of their
hard earned savings toward the en-
terprise, paying par value for the
stock, which we are informed can be
purchased elsewhere for much less
than cost. At any rate the closer
one gets to the location where the
project is supposed to be getting
ready to start business, the more one
doubts II real value. In each
instance brought to our attention, the
sale OF stock was made without the
buyer even making any inquiry Of
Its real value from disinterested par
ties who could have given full in
formation. On the other hand there
Is project In Pleasant Grove which
Is being backed by the solid men Of
this community that needs a few
thousand dollars more, that would
have been glad TO have gotten the
money that these rainbow chasers
put In the project that is located far
away, and over which they will have
no real say as to It's management.
Had the Pleasant Grove money beef,

that is reported to have been put into
this concern that may never ma

opening Of a market for thousands Of
dollars OF our fruit, the employment
Of many Of our people and the keep

When will the people quit chasing the
things far away, and devote their
money and energies towards support

ADVERTISE YOUR

Don't imagine for moment that
advertising will not bring you re-
suits In your Immediate field That's
an error that many merchants make,
when they ASSURE themselves THAT
their store Is 80 we'll known that II
dosent require newspaper advertis-
ing-that the trade will naturally
drift his way, anyhow. There isn't
store anywhere In the world that
has SO secure footing as that--not
single stores--and you are not doing
business In field but that your sales
can be increased by careful news
paper advertising. n this IL not true.
why Is II that "a stream Of mail orders
is constantly going out Of your town
to catalogue houses? And arc not
these sales made by these catalogue
houses the result OF persistent ad-
vertising In the very field you feel
that you have cultivated to the limit?
Whenever you get such an idea fixed
In your mind. and really believe that
there's nothing moro to conquer, you
are simply turning over ready money
to the man that does possess the
broader visicn-you are ceding terri
tory and rights to others that careful
newspaper advertising would retain
| I'm your possession.

Local Canning Plant
Will Operate This Year
VIII Can Fruit Only, But Will Put
Up Superior Product That VIII De.
msnd Top Prices.

The Pleasant Grove Canning Com
pany will operate this summer and
will be prepared to take care of a
good part of the prospective fruit
crop the coming season.
Mr. Faiben, owner Of the Murray
canning plant, and Mr.. Miller, his
factory manager, Mr.. Dunn of the
Kahn Wholesale, Grocery Co., and Mr..
Wooley OF the z. C. NJ. l., came to
Provo In an auto Wednesday and
made an examination of the canning
plant, machinery and general local
conditions as to fruit prospects, pros
poets of securing help. etc. They ex-
pressed much satisfaction with what
they saw. and think that this city is
an ideal location for the establish
ment OF great canning industry. Mr.
Falben thinks that 100000 plant
would make good money here, and the
representatives Of the wholesale job.
bers said that they would give first
preference to Pleasant Grove pro-
ducts In their sales. providing tho
quality and price was equal to the
imported product They were equally
emphatic that the plant should re-
strict Its energies IL the canning Of
raspberry and strawberry jams. cher
ries, peaches, pears and other fruits.
but should not attempt tomatoes In
the same factory.
There are two different projects
for the operation OF the plant being
worked out, one for the addition OF
a lot OF outside capital, and the other
for the addition OF some more local
capital, but the operation of an out.
side experienced Gamer. In either
case It will mean the employment Of
the most efficient management OBJ
tainable and that the plant will be
operated this year.

Brother Warren of the Hinck-
ley Enterprise was evidently not
feeling very good when he wrote
the following article, but never
theless there is a lot of good
sense in it and we commend to
our readers. 1t reads as follows:
Said one of our business men to
us the other day: "You must do
SO and so, meaning the village
must. We replied, Don't say
you say we There have been
many changes in the ownership
of the business houses during the
past year or two and too many of
the new owners are forgetting
they are part of the village and
that it is up to them as much as
anyone to boost the town, to
fight for its welfare, to look out
for it's future. Not so very long
ago there was more loyalty to the
town to the square inch in Hinck-
ley than in any village for many
miles. The result of this loyalty
has been the building up in a
short time a good. live start
towards the top. Some of those
who were SO active in public
affairs a short time ago have be-
come tired of boosting but the
real reason there is less public
spirit now than ever before is be-
cause there are so many in town
who consider this your" town
and not "our" town. A town
must either grow or be forced
out by neighboring towns that do
grow and town grows or not
just as the men in it make it
grow or let it die. Hinckley is
not the only pebble on the beach
and unless we wake up and keep
it growing it will be buried.
