Location For Manufacturers
As an ideal location for manufacturing e%nterpris-
es, Pleasantville stands second to none in the country.
There is an abundance of vacant land for such pur-
poses, and an industry of almost any proportion can
be readily accommodated with the necessary land for
buildings and other purposes. Greater Pleasantville,
including Smiths Landing, Oakhurst and Blenheim,
all within the corporate limits, covers an area of APP.
proximately seven square miles, and as a business

dams Real Owners When
Pilgrims Came"

When the Pilgrims came to Amer
lea they found the Indians, who were
the real owners of America. At first
the Indians treated them well, giving
them land and showing them how to
plant corn. After the first harvest
the settlers wished to give thanks for
the mercies of the past year. So they
called the Indians together at Ply
mouth and they had large feast. The
Indian warriors went hunting and
killed lots Of game to eat. The PHI
grim women popped large panfuls Of
popcorn. They had their feast and
after dinner they played games, had
Indian war dances, wrestling and box
ing matches and target practice. Late
that night, after a pow-wow, the In
dams departed for their homes.
Then came other settlers who were
not so kind to the Indians and kept
pushing them back and getting their
hunting grounds until the Indians de-
clared war upon the settlers. Tho first

thing of the club:
The Courier Junior was the first
Stocking club in Iowa, or any OF the
nearby states. and was planned right
here in this Office December. 1906. It's
purpose is to make little children very
happy at Christmas time. Then again
if we wish to give presents at Christ
mas time and do not want our friends
to know from whom the gifts come,
Santa Claus will deliver them for us
if we ask him. You all know that
Santa Claus does not always give
useful presents, such as stockings and
mittens. However, Santa Claus will
be glad to distribute these useful and
warm gifts if the members of the
Christmas Stocking club give them.
All one has to do to become a mem
Der of the club is to give nice pair

The Pilgrims
Worked.

Dear Juniors:
This is the first time that / have
ever written to you. I thought / would
write about the first Thanksgiving day.
After Columbus found our country
many white people came here to live
Some Of these people were Pilgrims
Thew sailed across tho sea In the May
flower When tho ship came to the
shore it was cold and snow was on the
ground.
The men said we must bufld houses
soon as we can"
So thew cut down trees ana brdft log
houses; as soon as the houses were
made the women and children moved
into them.
They lived in the houses all the rest
Of the winter.
In the spring time the Indians came
to see them. They gave them some
corn to plant and told them to plant it
when the white oak was as big as =
mouse eat.
The men dld this and the corn grew
we'll.
When the corn was ripe the Pilgrims
said they must thank God for the
houses and food. They asked the Ind
ians to come and eat dinner with them.
1t was joyful time.
So the first Thanksgiving day was
kept.

spring some kind Indians gave the
Pilgrims some corn. They told the

The pilgrims landed in 1920 on Ply

such things from the Indians. The
