other cities have through their various civic or
tan.zations held out offers Of aid. of bonuses. Of
lonne-cal br.6es Of some sort or another in order
to enlarge their populations and add to their
wealth.
Other cities have tried in various and varied man
hers to attract capital that would invest in great
factories that would provide means of employment
{ To south Bend the same wealth comes through
the great DEVELOPMENT Of industries which had their
birth here and which now reach unprecedented
bror ortions through their own superiority in their
separate fields of endeavor.
South Bend obtains freely and natural de-
Selopmeut the very thing which other ambitious
rltiee have searched for and for which they were
ready TO trade with very material benefits
{ The spoataniety with which all citizens have
grasped The significance Of this situation and the
feaduesz TO support tho movement forbids even the
