ARyADA STARTS
GOOD SCHEME

Arvada, Colorado, is an example
just now of what can he done when
people want to do.
In some manner the Impression was
spread abroad that the business in
terests of Aryada did not invite an
overly close relation with the com
munity at large. 1t injured the town.
When this impression reached the
ears of the business men they vast
ed no time in vain regrets. They
went to work like men and organic
ed a community clnh-it is called
The Arvada Community Club"
The object of the club is in the
main to unite the interests OF the
town and the surrounding trading ter
ritory by bringing all of the people
into closer touch with one another.
They will organize an exchange.
with competent man in charge. Far
mers, gardeners, any person in. coun-
try or town who has anything for sale
will be disposed of for them without
the charge of any commission. Once
a month a big public auction will be
held at which all articles not hereto
fore sold will be disposed of without
EXPENSE to the seller. The sale days
are to be widely advertised in the
local press and the most experienced
auctioneers obtainable will he enga 2
ed. The business men Aof the town
are to be urged to advertise their mer-
chandise heavily in the Arvada papers
and make special bargain days for the
auction sale days. and in this man
ner establish a close relationship be-
tween the town and surronndinr ter
ritory that will be of lasting fene@t
tc 10th. and that will cause the farm
er to FORGET that such thing as a
mail order house ever existed.
Any men with a particle OF grav
matter under his hat knows that If
the farmer could dispose of his crops
and his small stuff all in his town to
ADVANTAGE he would DO so And II
he did that he would also do his trad
ing there for he is Just as INTELLIGENT
and as much human-possibly more
so-as the rest of us He Knows when
his bread is huttered. and he invari-
ably takes the huttered piece.
