Greater Iowa is being celebrated
this week in all parts Of Iowa. In
every city and town merchants are
displaying Iowa made goods and meet
ings are being held in celebration of
Iowa's greatness.
A mass meeting was held at the
City Opera House Monday afternoon
at which addresses were delivered by
Hon. C. B. Santee, state representa-
tive from Cedar Falls and Am. Cloud
of this city. There was very good
crowd in attendance considering the
busy time for both farmers and mer-
chants. Both addresses were very in
teresting and emphasized those things
in which Iowa stands foremost and
calling attention to many industries
and resources of which we are little
aware. We all realize that Iowa Is
a great agricultural state and stands
foremost among the states with her
81 900, 900 100000 production of live
stock and farm crops. But few realize
that the. manufactured products Of
Iowa are worth more than half bill
lion dollars yearly. In Iowa is manu-
factured practically every article that
is needed for any purpose.
The object of Greater Iowa week is
to call attention to Iowa's resources
and make Iowa a greater state. We
can all help by buying Iowa made
goods. If we do that we help to make
some community of Iowa greater and
those communities buying our pro-
ducts build up our local industries
and every individual in the state is
benefited. Every citizen of Manches-
ter can do his share in the work OF
making Manchester greater by buying
Manchester-made products, and by in
sisting on Manchester goods when he
buys any one Of the articles which
are manufactured in Manchester.
There are many articles manufactur-
ed in Manchester and we are here
listing the various factories and busi-
nesses in Manchester which are put
ting out products over large terri
tory. Every citizen should have all
these in mind and buy their products
and help in the building of bigger
and buster Manchester, which is bound
to come 4.a .r.sr ..

tie Quaker" These goods are dis
tributed over large radius.
J. j. GOen
conducts busy cigar factory, employ
ing Is hands and manufacturing 6OO,-
900 Sam Parr" and Little Sam Parr"
yearly. Why should Manchester men
build up out of town cigar factories
when they have two factories at home
putting out a product that is equal
to any and superior to many? Think
it over men, when you buy cigars.
Help build up your own city, not some
one else's.

chester. Halls Bakery ships out an
average of 16 baskets per day to "a
customers in 10 surrounding cities,
where their goods come in competition
