st. Cloud as an Example of Prosperity.
Economists report that the large
cities are being overcrowded, the late
war having aggravated this condition.
We cannot speak for other states but
in Minnesota at least it behooves the
young man just entering his business
career to turn his eyes to some Of our
smaller towns and cities. We are just
ly proud of St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth. They are our cities and they
could not exist without us, but they
alone do not represcn Minnesota.
Many man in political life has, to his
sorrow, found that he reckoned without
his host when he failed to harken to
the voice of the country press repre-
senting the rural population.
Last Monday the writer spent q
most enjoyable day in St. Cloud. This
enterprising city of about 10000 in
habitants is a credit to Minnesota
and should be an inspiration to the
smaller neighboring towns. The de-
velopment of the city has been almost
phenomenal. AS one drives along the
paved streets, miles of this pavement
having been laid in the last five years,
he sees hundreds Of comfortable
homes, each with a wcll-kept lawn
and surrounded by fine old shade trees.
There are also several large, beautiful
homes which would grace the most OK
elusive suburb of any city in the
United States. The fine public build
ings which have recently been erected
such as the First Presbyterian church
and the Technical high school, testify
to the generosity ard the splendid
public spirit of the citizens of St.
Cloud. They are now eagerly await
| ing the completion of the large, mod
ern hotel which is at present under
construction.
The Journal-Press, so ably edited by
lAlvah Eastman, is now reaping the
fruits of active, faithful service. The
business has outgrown the present
equipment and a large new press thai
will print sixteen pages is being
installed. Six linotype machines
click merrily and the whole office
huns with business.
Just as one crosses the bridge enter
ing St. Cloud from the north he sees
a large brick building, the Securit!
Blank Book & Printing Co. This is
most attractive business building
spotless inside and outside, demon
strating that printing office cen b.
absolutely neat ard clean. The bust
ness was established in 1907 and, un
der the management Of J. R. Jerrard
has developed rapidly until now, wit
a pay roll Of about 100000 per an
nun it is one of the best bookbindins
and printing establishments in tn
northwest. Some of the largest bust
ness houses in Princeton have TO
years been patrons OF the Securit,
Blank Book end Printing Co., no
merely because it is home industry
but because they know chat this com
pany furnishes Only frst-class book
and office supplies.
Princeton will never be the size Q
St. Cloud, but we can show IS niue
business enterprise and be as progress
sivc as our neighbors in the Grant
City. Princeton is the product Of
rich agricultural district and TIE tow
will grow as the surrounding countr
develops. If there is anyone who ha
false illusions in regard to the amour
of business transacted here, we sug
gest that he drive down Main or Firs
street on busy afternoon or evenin
and attempt to find place to park hi
car. Princeton will be the same pros
porous village even though the cour
ty seat be removed to Milcca. Enter
prising, public-spirited business me
and frst-class professional men max
r the town, and in this respect we stoo
e to none of our neighbors. We can be
a ter afford to lose the county seat tina
