the depot half an hour before the

when the first rumbling of the special

alighted from the train.
But so noisy were the greetings that
it was almost impossible TO hear even
a note of music, Notwithstanding the
fact that the bandsmen put every bit
OF wind possible into their instru-

ment of this nature will react as
benefit to every citizen in the COM

Therefore, every citizens of Mt.
Vernon should be interested in this
movement. The chamber of com
merce will furnish the citizens of the
community with the tools to make a
better city and increase the prosper
ity of all its people.
"But why should I be interested in
the chamber of commerce?" you may
ask.
Because the movement is for the
benefit of the citizens of Mt. Vernon.
The chamber of commerce will show
how to develop the community. Not
only show, but the cooperate effort
it will engender will result in doing
the things needful to our citys ad-
vancement. Money invested in the
chamber of commerce will draw larg-
er dividends than money invested in
any other proposition. Besides, not
only is the person putting in the
money in the chamber benefited, but
every citizen in the community is af-
fected either directly or indirectly.
Just so fast as Mt. Vernon grows
prosperous, just so fast will the
prosperity of each Of her citizens in
crease.
