BUILDING A TOWN.

No town will become a good
business center, says q retired Gin
cinnati merchant, so long as its
business men rely on few mer-
chants to make the effort to bring
trade to town.
Too often the men in few lines
OF trade are about the only ones
that reach out after custom. Other
merchants wait until these men
induce the people to come to town
and content themselves with trade
that naturally drifts to their place.
A public-spirited man should
ask himself il lie is doing his part
to attract people to town to trade
ia helping the entire business COM
munity, and no town is a success
unless all lines are working to ex-
tend the trade as far as possible
aud trying to bring a larger terri
tory in the circles in which the
town is the business center.
