DEAD TOWN IS
ALWAYS STUNNED
Community With Such a Reputa-
ton Suffers as From a
Pestilence.

"Stay away from that town. It's a
dead one.'
do you want that TO be said of
your town? OF course you don't, for
you with, as matter of local pride, if
for no other reason, to have your
town stand high in the estimation of
the world. But are you sure that you
are doing everything in your power
to place your town in the position
which you wish to occupy? That is the
question that every person should ask
himself or herself at frequent inter-
walls.
When things are running smoothly,
when times are good, and when it is
fairly easy to make a good living for
the wife and Riddles, i. is so easy for
a man to forget that these things do
not come to a town as a matter of
course but are the result of the
right kind of effort ON the part of the
citizens of the community. 1t is so
easy for man to grow careless and
think that because this condition ex-
listed it will continue to exist without
any effort on his part or that of the
other residents of the community.
That Is why it is important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
in while about what it would mean
to him if the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live in a dead town.
No one even likes to visit dead town.
That is why you sometimes hear that
warning, "Stay away from that town.
It's dead one." The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from a pestilence. Bust
ness men seeking new locations will
have none of it. The live travelling
salesman, even, will give it wide
berth. Those who live in it will get
away if they can.
When town is live and prosperous,
local business is good, real estate val
ues are high and stable,' labor is in
demand and wages are good, the
streets are well lighted, the residents
and their property are protected from

MARATHON GRANITE co.
SECOND LARGEST IN
UNITED STATES

Timuer mas long been the greatest
of the natural resources of Marathon
county. but timbe. is passing, one
might say, has passed. and the wood
working industry of Wausau draws
on other wooded regions for its raw
materials. But there is another in
dustry in Wausau also based on nat
uraT resources the supply OF raw ma
terials for which is no danger OF ex-
haustion. This is the quarrying and
working of granite.
No End
Unlike the forests, the end OF the
granite supply is not in sight and ex-
perts are confident that the market
able quality of rock is practically in
exhaustible During the thirty years
in which the industry has gradually
increased in Importance, Wisconsin
has reached third place in the list OF
states producing granite products.
The quarries in Vermont head the list
in size of output with Minnesota in
second place.
The Quarries of Minnesota, in the
ST. Cloud region produce greater
quantity than the Marathon county
quarries but the rock is inferior in
quality. Marathon county granite IS
superior to most grades on the mar
ket; it is harder, more durable and
takes a higher polish. The red gran
lite from the quarries in the town OF
Texas, nine miles east Of the city, is
the only red granite in the United
States and Is also the highest priced
in the country. 1t is used extensive
ly for monumental work, which is the
chief output of the local plants, but
is also used in building, for polished
columns and ornamental work. The
rotunda of the state capitol at Madi-
son is perhaps the best example Of
ornamental granite, and was produced
in the Wausau plants. In the city the
court house, the ID. l.. Plumer resi-
cence, the First National bank, the
Marathon County bank, the city hall,
the post office, as well as other
buildings are built in part of Mara
thon county granite.

town of Texas and the Parcher green.
