From this booklet has been taken the "Ten Tests of "A Town" which

These ten tests should have the attention Of every booster Of

associations of your town says Mr.. Flint, 'but if in other respects

the intelligent town-5uyer, get busy and help make it measure up.
The first big job Of a town salesman is TO see that his commodity is
right"
The Evening Herald is printing these ten tests in another col
umn. It asks the people of the city to read over these tests very care
fully and determine in what respect the city is measuring up to the
average. Ask yourself in what respect you can help in bringing
about improvement.

The people, who have made their mandate known in November,
