Stop! Look! Listen!

Had YOU ever thought what ii means to your
city TO have another large Motor Truck plant
your borders? Had YOU ever thought of the
advantages it affords when large enterprises
locating in such places? II is not the city nor
town that makes the enterprises, but the reverse,
the enterprises do make the ely. This has been
fully demonstrated to you in the past. Chicago.
New York. Detroit and many other cities have
been made through their vast enterprises.
Another large Motor Truck plant is To-
eating nearly your east border, although the
plant will be located across the line in st. Louis,
il will be nearly close to Alma The Alma
people will get equal benefits thereby.
II seems there was time when there
spirit of rivalry between the two cities. This con-
diton is ceasing to exist more and more every
year. The people of st. Louis more have that
feeling of jealousy. This is shown by the fact
that ST. Louis citizens do not hesitate to paronize
Alma stores and business houses. We do not feel
that there remains the feeling of jealousy on the
part of Alma citizens that existed. We feel
like the time Is close when the dividing line will
almost disappear and the two cities will seem
one large family, each ore interested IN the well
fare of the other.
TO STUDY THE SITUATION. In the first
place, certain kinds of enterprises create demand
and market for other lines. To demonstrate this,
take the automobile industry, what lines of trade
are dependent upon IL! If there were no auto
mobiles, where would there be a market for rub
Der tires. wheels, magnetos, engines radiators.
caIburetors bearings axles, etc., all of which per.
tain to the automobile.
How about the great oil industry Would
there be the incentive for the development of the
great oil fields If the automobile industry could
drop out of existence tomorrow. What would the
accessory people do! Can you not see the advis-
ability Of investing in and encouraging that part
af ind rh h. AAur nd for h.
ether products, Can you not see that without
the creative end of the industry your investment
in the line of accessories would be futile.
With the wonderful advantages of having
such large industry that has proven its value
TO your city, can you not see where other large in
dustries of like nature would greatly increase
your labor conditions, business opportunities and
real estate values? Without these industries can
you not see how easily and how readily CONNER
cial and financial condition in your community
would have tendency to wane?
It's up to you. Think it over Encourage any
enterprise that wishes to locate in your midst
not only encourage by boosting with your voice.
but boost with your dollars by investing in the
coming greatest industry in the world today
namely, the Motor Truck industry. We are offer
ing you just such opportunities once Of
fered by other successful companies. A few hun
dred dollars invested in il would mean your in
dependence for the rest of your days, but il is

the same old story, II afraid and did not in

Several of the citizens of Alma have become
greatly interested and have placed very nice sub
seriptions for stock in the BOLLSTROM
