For this reason special value at

from your face.
4. Never read in the twilight, in
moving car, or in reclining
position.

VISITORS SEE il.

Very frequently one hears from
the casual visitor to our city a
statement of surprise at finding no
large mercantile establishments or
business houses owned and controll-
ed by us who live in the most pro-
gressive city of the whole Southwest
Though such statements may cause
us much chagrln and embarrassment
we must admit that they are true
In too large a measure. Even though
we do operate some places of bus
mess which are credit to our city
and ourselves, we are found sadly
lacking when our possibilities for
achievement are compared with our
actual accomplishment.
We need better organizations for
business. We need more confidence
in cash other. We need less men
who believe in double crossing" their
associates for temporary benefit to
themselves, for they are only less
ening their chances for lasting good
Whether or not the truth comes
