FARMERS ELEVA.
TOR PROGRESSING

The committee who has been
soliciting stock for Farmers
Elevator for Julesburg are meet
ing with good success. and such
an institution is practically as
sured for our city. We are
pleased to note the success in
which the committee is lneeting
in pushing this matter, as we feel
that a Farmers Elevator will be
IA big benefit to our farmers and
to our city.
In the event that the stock is
all disposed Of within Il short
time, and indications point vely
strong that way, building opera.
tions will soon be commenced.
The city of Julcsburg will vel
come this enterprise with open
arms, rs will also the farmers in
this territory. The day has passed
when conditions are not going to
be dealt with in IL progressive
way to bring about more bene-
fetal results. There is large
amount of grain grown tributary
to Julcsburg, and it is nothing
but right that all of this product
should be taken care of right
here, and if We are any judge
we believe that these conditions
will exist in the future. The
farmer rightfully wants the high
est market price for his products
which he has worked hard to
produce. and 1t is the intention
of the Farmers Elevator to be
established here, to meet this
condition squarely and fairly at
all times. Watch Julesburg and
community grow, and a Farm
ers' Elevator in this city will
boost things along considerably.
We are for Farmers Elevator
strong and hope to see this insti-
tuition established here WITHIN a
short time. There is no doubt
but what an enterprise of this
kind will reap large Mutual"
benefits to all of us. 1t will
create better 'Pull-Together'
spirit amongst our enterprising
people in Il number of ways.
The Grit Advocate is sure that it
voices the sentiment of the larger
majority of the people in this
matter. We say, let the good
work 90 on.
