Ability to exist and thrive upon its own
resources is the best insurance COM
munity may have against hardship and
unhappiness. Cities dependent on general
conditions or conditions in any particu-
lar field of endeavor for their prosperity
are subject to disheartening fluctuations
between good times and bad.
Indianapolis was a center Of CONNER
cial Importance long before its outstaDd
ing industry-autOmobile manufacture
was ever considered. Situated in the
geographical center of a rich agricultural
region, over which it maintained uncon-
tested commercial sway, the city's whole
sale business was important fifty years
ago. Today it does an annual jobbing
business of S175,0O0000.
The immemorial function of cities has
been the distribution of merchandise, in
coming and outgoing. Before the days of
steam transportation a city could grow
and prosper only in direct ratio to the
growth and prosperity of its productive
territory. seaports excepted. The great
bulk of produce was disposed Of within
a comparatively small territory.
The rich productivity of Indiana soil
stood the State capital in good stead in
those DAYS and the foundation was laid
for the greatest inland metropolis in the
world
ASPIRIT OF PIONEERS
ANOTHER GREAT ASSET.
The spirit of the hardy HoOsiers who
broke the virgin prairie soil proved
another great asset. 1t is notable fact
that the lesser towns and cities of the
indianapolis territory have grown apace
with the metropolis, not alone as rural
markets, but as manufacturing centers
as well. The city today is within twenty
four hours travel Of more towns of $4,000
population and more than any other city
IN America.
Excellent and economical railroad
TRANSFORMATION has played an important
part in the development of jobbing here.
From the earliest days of steam line
building Indianapolis has been a favored
CITY. The rapid growth of electric line
TRANSPORTATION found HoOsierdom well in
the lead. Almost over night the State
became webbed with interurban lines,
unexcelled for serving short haul retail
points.
More recently the overland motor
trucking business has centered here.
Shipment of perishable goods and of
merchandise needed in haste can be made
by truck economically.
Two hundred and fifty Wholesale
houses serve the Indianapolis territory
with its 100000 souls. More than J, 100
travelling statesmen are engaged constant
IL in heralding the city's merchandising
capacity throughout the country. All
Of Indiana, western Ohio, northern
Kentucky and eastern Illinois fall
naturally into Indianapolis territory, be-
cause OF railroad connections.
TERRITORY CONTACT
EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
Other cities may command more ex-
tensive jobbing districts than that Of IN
dianapolis, but few have more compact
and easily accessible territories. From
sthis viewpoint the citys jobbing trade
appears absolutely unassailable since 1t
is impossible for city to be nearer all
points Of such a populous region.
The ~city's trump card, diversity, is

GOV. BAXTER APPROVES PLAN OF
THE LINCOLN WORoTED CO.
Extract from Governor Baxter's Speech
made at Houlton, Maine, "Wednesday,
October 10Th, 1921, as taken from
The Aroostook Daily News

"There is no one in the State of Maine
who believes more in private initiative
than l do. AS l came up from Bangor
and saw the pulp mills all along the way
and the great Worsted mill which is being
built at Lincoln | was impressed with the
vision of a man who is building that mill.
Any men who put their money into these
great enterprises are doing the public a
tremendous service and deserves the sup
port of.every citizen of the State. If it
were not for these people who are willing
to invest their money in these enter
prises, there woul be no prosperous viii
lages and towns. We want to encourage
every man in the State to invest his
money in the building up of Names in
dustries, and to make it possible for more
people to live here and contribute to the
prosperity of this State" Governor Bax~
ter at Houlton mass meeting.

Hon. Blaine S. Viles a Candidate
for Congress.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Oct. 20, 1872

To The REPUBLICAN JOURNAL:
1t is generally understood that Con-
gresham John A. Peters will presently
resign his seat to accept the position of
Judge of the United States District Court
about to be vacated by Judge Hale. This
will deprive our district of the very ex-
cellent services of our present Congress-
man, and will, believe, necessitate
special election. In this event shall be
a candidate for the position, 1t has been
nv ambition, and l think this fact has
been generally known over the district,
to succeed Congressman Peters at Wash
inRton, and if elected | pledge myself to
represent the district to the very best of
my ability. Many leading Republicans
of the district have been kind enough to
express friendlinesS to my candidacy
and | trust that the same will be looked
upon with favor throughout the district.

tested against this when they found
that in the reorganization some Of

was passed on first reading this week
after Harry n. Johnson, chief Of the
Liberty Company, had told The Coun-
cilmen that he and his men would
quit at once II the reorganization
plan was put through.
