But we can build Washburn now,
along the line of diversified indus
tries of various sorts, and forever be
Independent of any one big plant, of
wars, of outside conditions. We can
get the factories our Jealous
friends have been asking about, and
multiply them in due time along
conservative lines, until we have a
small army of men making different
things here products of everyday
use for which there is a constant
demand at good profit. But we will
not obtain these until we have
learned cooperation among the
citizens, faithfulness to the small
duties, to civic work, to attendance
at meetings where we are called to
perform task, There is no mystery
about this city-building as we said
once before. 1t is plain PROPOSE
ton. We must sacrifice some time
from our own business, bury our
animosities deep, get together, work
together, stop slandering each other
if we do that, and make our daily
motto: "All for Washburn and
Washburn tor All.

Washburn Commercial Club.

in form but was substantially the
same. Some person misled those
ambitious and worthy citizens and il
was not the Secretary of the Wash
burn Commercial club. They have
been led to expect that all that was
necessary to secure new industries
and factories in Washburn was to
employ an experienced secreta y and
set him to work. We wish those
men were closer to us. We wish
they would attend the meetings,
call at the office during the daytime
and talk over the situation with the
Secretary. We believe they would
make good workers which are Sc
badly needed just now. They have
been sufficiently interested to ask
these questions, and that counts for
something. We shall remember
them and make use of them later.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-29

This spending power as it exists
in Washburn today should be con-
served and the producers who earn
this money should be encouraged to
spend the money at home. This is
educational, home pride and sort
of patriotism. The Secretary has in
hand a comprehensive plan for a
campaign to foster this spirit OF
keeping the money at home. Ii
SIS, 900 a month earned in Washburn
is spent outside of Washburn, it re-
presents the loss of any industry
having a $4,000 monthly payroll.
Conversely, the saving of this amount
of money by spending it in Wash
burn, is equal to a NEW industry
of the same producing power. Will
you let that sink into your minds?
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-29

Just moment please. The secre.
tary has one man in view VINO owns
woodworking machinery worth
$40, 900, now operating in a field
where raw materials are scarce. He
wants to come to Washburn but will
need some capital to Offset his ex-
penses in getting launched. 1t is
not in competition with any plant now
operating here. The Secretary has
an experienced shoe man who knows
how tc make shoes by machinery
and he will put every dollar he has
in small factory to begin here. He
can raise about $4,000. What
would be nicer than to start nucleus
of the shoe-making business in
Washburn and build it up and then
get other shoe factories after we
have learned the game?
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-29

Several men have signi6ed will
ingness to put in a Touring mill.
Another man signifies his intention
Of 81 arting a cement products factory
here. There is a man with partner,
both having capital, who will go in
to the cOnStrn elton business and
build houses they ask a small
amount of capital to be subscribed
to show good faith. We have some
other enterprises in view and are
after others. But at present, the
community is not ready for any of
these things. Washburn is laboring
under the delusion that the United
States Steel corporation is going to
come here and build ten million
dollar plant like the Dupont people
did without even being asked.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-29

There is great competition
among cities in this factory getting
business and Washburn has no
cinch" over other cities, notwith-
standing some desirable natural ad-
vantages that are superior to many.
Men make cities, as the high salaried
expert of Superior told the people
there. But first, we must learn to
work together, and work and act
promptly and attend committe meet
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-29

So, it has not alone been these
men who asked how the factory
business is coming along, who have
been misguided. Many of the men
foremost in the plan of employing a
secretary and taking up this work in
earnest, have disclosed woeful
lack of knowledge of how cities are
developed permanently and how new
industries are secured. 1t is worth
something to find this out and to
learn how little the busy men of
Washburn who backed this move
ment are willing to study the facts
as learned by the secretary and to
get down to business with him and
do something.

it. If merely employing an ex-
perienced secretary would solve the
prob lem Of numerous factories, every

The work is three months old, so
far as the present administration is
concerned and the Secret ary has not
been idle. But the members of the
club and the special contributors
have been idle. They have been
indifferent, which is worse. We
have some prospects. in view, but
they are not the kind that the fore
most business leaders of Washburn
approve. 1t has taken just these
first three months to get tn TIL

members of the club and citizens
generally, with view of formulating
a definite program.

1t costs something to do civic
work successfully and it costs men
something to develop their city in
dustrially and commercially. This
has not yet become deeply rooted in
the minds of our people. This work
is business proposition and the
cost should be considered perma-
nent investment that will pay
dividends to the community. That
is why the NOV, ment must and does
develop slowly. Anything short OF
prudent preliminary work leading up
to beneficial results, means haste
