Fully Appreciates the Biggest
Holiday Number Ever
Published Here

There are times when one engaged
IN the pursuit Of their chosen vocation
in life becomes discouraged, and it
seems that everything goes dead
wrong. Especially is this so with the
newspaper man. and he often wonders
if his efforts are appreciated by the
public, whom. in his humble way, tries
to serve to the best Of his ability. Out
in California there is a man for whom
We have the highest regard. he being
a former prominent citizen of this
community. The gentleman we have
in mind is our friend and former
townsman, John Mellen, who recently
moved with his estimable family to
Los Angles from here, and is now en-
gagged in the practice of law Mr.
Mellen is never so busy with the daily
trend Of life. but what he is always
ready to extend words of encourage
ment and cheer to his friends, and
words cannot express our appreciation
to him for the following communica-
ton which we received few days
ago, the same being self explanatory
and we have no doubt of its SINGER

II public welfare, whereby mutual
benefits have been obtained.
The merchants of Julesburg joined
haads at the beginning Of the year
1917 il = big trade campaign for
Julesburg. and the results were very
successful. The idea was not merely
to bring trade to any individual mer-
csntile establishment. but instead =
concentrated effort was made to bring
q larger volume Of trade to Julesburg
whereby all lines would receive bene-
fit, and the result was that our city
became . much larger trade center.
The merchant or business man who
will not do his share to help build up
our city, is not worthy Of receiving
the patronage from the people of this
community. With the upbuilding Of
Julssburg and community, mutual
benefits are received by its citizens.
4 Julesbure Is . better trade center
than is was in years gone by, the citi-
zens Of this community at large are
benefitted, no matter Whist vocation
Of life you are engaged in. We have
an interest in the upbuilding Of this
community, and we wish to state
frankly that the man who will not lend
his assistance to accomplish this end
is not doing his part as citizen Of
the community, and is not deserving Of
any consideration or support Of our
people in any manner whatsoever.
During the year just passed the
business men Of Julesburg have devel-
eped "live" commercial organiza-
ton, and each week monday luncheons
are held, at which gatherings our pro-
eressive business men sit around the
festive table and discuss matters per-
tanning to the welfare of Julesburg
and community Every business man
in Julesburg, if he desires to become
affiliated with the affairs of this COM
munity, should be 4 regular attendant
at the monday @uncheons. held each
Wednesday noon at the Brown Hotel
Cafe. BY so doing he will be taking
an active interest in working for big
ger and better Julesburg. It ID the
duty of every business man in Jules
burg to cooperate with his fellow men
in the upbuilding of our city.
It is pleasing to note that during
the year 1917 our citizens have created
the "Trade- at Home" habit more than
during previous years, and we believe
it is becoming more and more real
ization that being loyal to home inter-
ests is by far the best policy. As this
paper has repeatedly stated, there is
nothing more detrimental to COM
munity than the practice Of its citi-
zens sending their dollars away to the
mail-order shark, instead of keeping
their money at home and thus build
up home enterprises, thereby reaping
mutual benefits. We hope to see the
year 1918 bring about the elimination
of the mail-order practice more than
ever in this community, and in that
