PREDICT SMALL TOWN BOOM
Residential and Industrial Readjust
nent May Come During the
Next Twenty Years.

Is this country to see very soon o
"boom" of the smaller community as
contrasted with the great city? The
editor of the william Feather Magazine
of Cleveland suggests IL, as follows:
within the next twenty years II
seems certain that two movements
will take place that will enlarge the
small town.
Zone OF these will be the migration
OF business and professional men and
their families to towns Of 5000 TO
20, 900 located within fifty-mile radius
of cities in which they work during
the day.
THE other will be the decentraliza'
ton Of industry and the movement of
both factories and working forces from
the city to the small towns.
with improved living conditions.
factories will favor small town sites.
figuring that they will thus reduce their
labor turnover, and save enough In
| overhead, taxes and interest on ex'
pensive city sites, more than to com
pensate them for the disadvantage OF
| doing business in a small town,
'If this adjustment does take place

SO large that the law of diminishing
returns begins to operate. 1t is an
established principle that when a
business grows beyond certain point

THE same principle applies to cities
Big cities have such problems as trans
portation. housing, health, fire and
police protection, from which the
small town is largely free.
THE factors which are doing much
to hasten this decentralization are the
automobile. the motion picture and the
talking machine, all of them recent
inventions.
