The Great City 10 the Comfy.

The old fashioned chamber of
commerce with its cash bonuses
and free factory sights, is rapidly
passing away. Instead Of grab
bing business from each other,
towns are beginning to look. to
the country, to growing corn and
wheat and hay. Here lies the
opportunity: for the great city,
strange as il may seem, is out in
the country, hidden in the fertil-
ffty of the soil.
A successfully hay campaign
will bring factories to the town.
Hay means beef and pork, which
beckon the packing-house and
storage plant.
More corn means cereal mills,
glucose factories, startch factor
les. Flour mills locate in wheat
neutrality-suspicious..
Creameries follow the dairy
COW and the truck patch calls for
the canning factory.
Towns are the natural evolu-
ton and growth of necessity
places to store and distribute the
worlds surplus products through
the channel of commerce. There
is but one road to permanent
city building-that road leads to
the farm. Business is so sympa-
thetic,so sensitive to crop produc
ng, that the forecast of poor
wheat or corn crop effects the
markets of the world.
When the harvest fields smile,
towns wax fat, and factories in
