nothing here in comparison with what
there is now.
When you tell me that your popu.
lation isn't quite $4,000, why, almost
feel like saying I don't believe you,

down your streets this morning
thought that you must have 10000 any

town every bit that large.

tracts me. Why, you have some OF
the best stores I have ever seen In a
town of this size and far ahead of
some in towns a lot larger than you
are. There is where you catch the
people. l would say that Ottumwa has
a wonderful drawing power from a
large tributary territory.
Inc last LlWe was here tAIoo
years ago and I can truthfully say that
I don't believe l have ever seen such
a wonderful change in place in my
life as there has been in Ottumwa IN
that time. The streets are so much
better, they are kept so much clean
err, the stores look better, more at
tractively dressed to attract people
and more effectively arranged in the
interior to hold them after they get
inside You have good many new
buildings, you have a great many
more going up. Ottumwa is certainly
on the boom. 1t looks good to me-"
