THAT SLOGAN IS SUGGESTED BY
ONE OF OUR READERS
BUY SOME OF IT YOURSELF
Opportunities For Wealth Lie at
the Feet of Every Citizen Of
This County

Reader, have you got the faith? Do
you really BELIEVE In Iron county?
You gentlemen who are preaching
Iron county opportunities, have you
arrived at that stage where you
speak OF your convictions or are you
simply. parrot-like, repeating some
thing you hear because you think IL
popular?
What we need to make Iron county
active is spirit OF conviction in its
people that we have here as good a
spot as there is in the world for a
man 20 live in, work in, grow In. and
attain comfort and happiness in.
That's what everybody is looking
for, comfort and happiness. So many
things enter into those conditions that
there can be no set rule laid down for
their acquisition. One OF the neces-
sary requisites for either is that the
individual must be so circumstanced
as TO be able to command living In
dependent OF any but natural agencies.
In talking on Iron county and it's
needs to one OF our readers during the
week he expressed himself on some
OF the factors that enter into the
question as follows:
We cannot give any formula for
getting rich. Many have tried IL. But
the men who know the formula are
so busy working them out that they do
not stop to bother telling others,
what Il is. Some things are evident
though. to him who runs. though he
be fool.
IL the community is growing, every
body gets rich. Population increases
real estate improves in value. The
most humble cottage becomes worth
more as well as the places OF business.
Then. all that is necessary 20 do
Is 20 buy real estate--buy for cash,
an time, any way--buy. Next year
your house and lot will be more yal-
liable. All the ability required is TO
sit tight.
Then, in the first place, II ought to
be every mans aim to see that his
community grows and is kept grow
ing There are hundreds OF ways In
which this can be done. Everybody
can help. One or two men can't do Il
alone Everybody, must help. Every
one should take thought. what can
] do to help my city and county to
grow?"
See the money that has been made
in Chicago simply because Il has In
creased Ia population. IL required
very little brains TO have made money
In Chicago Had Chicago stood still
rall che brains In the world could not !
have made money. That was the big
difference between Europe and Amer !
lea that impressed tho thinking men
who were over there. Europe is not
growing. Therefore. poor man
poor in money and brains--has nc
show. while In America II he has suf-
ficient brains TO buy piece Of land |
in ten or twenty years he will have
become rich. Our returned soldiers
know this. The civil war was fol-
lowed by u great craze for land. Men
rushed TO the West where there we're ,
millions OF free acres. There seems
now 10 be and should be another rush
for lands. But now II must be bought.
We still have lotsof cheap lands
In Iron county. This IL being bought !
up now faster than for many years.
After the cattle men have been IN
here lands will be bought stiil faster.
Advice to every man should be. buy
a piece OF land on the best terms YOU
can. Then boost for Iron county and
all you have 10 do IA wait
Think this over now and don't walt
until next year when your chances
will not be as good as they are now.
Then the next lesson you can read
in tho lives Of all rich men IL, work
with someone cise--someone who
knows more than you do. Rockefcl-
