All Together, Gentlemen.

No town will become a business
center so long as its business men rely
on a few merchants to make the effort
to bring the trade to the town. Too
often the men in few lines Of trade
are about the only ones that reach out
after customers Other merchants
wait until these men induce the people
to come to town and content themselves
with the trade that naturally drifts to
their place. A public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing his
best to attract people to come to
town to trade in helping the entire
community, and no town is a success
unless all lines are working together
to extend the trade as far as possible
and trying to bring larger territory
in the circle in which the town is the
business center.
