ization of the great improvement in
business conditions be brought to the
man in the ordinary walks of life, in
order that gloom" may vanish from

which will accrue to every line of
business activity from the immediate
establishment in the minds of every
citizen of this county of the fact that

ance in this movement. Every man
can aid in at once bringing the fruits
of these improved conditions to Wau-
sau, by talking Prosperity to every
one.

months with the same months of a
year ago, and you will find a steady
growth in your business. This, to-
