MT, Fielding has not been appreciated here and l want to say now that l will go as strong as any one in any way to keep Fielding here and to secure any other reliable motion picture corporation. It means outside capital and as an advertising medium its value can not be measured
 in dollars and cents. It is good
 thing for the city and for the state and that is what | am for first, last and all the time

 we have n great start in man like Fielding, who is thoroughly square in l all his business dealings"
