FOR GREATER
ALEXANDRIA
B. We'll Says We Must Boost
and Work Hard.
Thinks School Building and Houses
Should be Built-"We Must
HUSTLE" He Says

B. We'll, of We'll Brothers, tells
the Gazette reporter that in order to
bring about Greater Alexandria, We
all must do our part OF. the hustllng
and boosting and must not be too
much depressed at the thought OF
hard times-for times are not hard.
81 think that we need everything
that is good to make the city as it
should be, but we are asked how are
we going to get the money. We must
work and hustle and make every min.
ute count in the building up of a
business and the same rule will hold
true with the building of city.
"We must boost our city to the
sky. We cannot afford for our own
interests to 60 out of the city when
asked about our home, hang our head
as if ashamed to admit our abiding
place and tell that is anything except
the very best. We should throw our
shoulders back squarely and with our
head up answer yes, ann from
Alexandria and am proud of it, for
there is not better city in the coun-
try. That would not be untrue for
is there real Alexandrian who does
not love his city? If he does not then
he is not an Alexandrian.
"School buildings are among the
most important questions now. 10
erect a building would require a deal
of money, but if we want it we VIII
get it. So why should we not go to
work for the thing that would do US
good and get it.
"A road to Fairfax has been pro-:
posed and is being worked for, and II
gotten will bring to our city tourists
and trade from all sections of the
country.
"You hear everywhere about hard
times. but times are not hard-just
little slow. Wait until the mattress
in the foreign countries are settled
and our exporters can grant credit to
the foreign merchants and then our
country will boom.
eve need better housing condi>
tions-that is, we need more houses,
AS another proof that times are not
hard, look at the property values
now, they have not gone down, and
that is one of the best signs of
prosperity. !.
~ hold to that old opinion that if
we want anything and are willing to
work without rest for it we will pet
it. We must boom our city outside
of it and inside try to see what we
need, and get it. No one has ever
been known to succeed in any line of
business if he tells his customers
that his goods are not good. He must
tell them that his goods are good and
prove that they are. This same prin-
ciple may be applied to building a
citv. I think
Y $50 you see we mnst get before US
what We want and let NOTHING check
US as we journey toward it. We will
not reach the ideal. to be sure. but
every step closer will that much and
in time we will pet long wav. Work
and boost and hustle and we shall
have a Greater Alexandria and all
that it means.

Increase In Weight

MILLIONS of people all over the United
I'VE States and Canada have not only been re-
lieyed of the most obstinate forms of dyspepsia
and indigestion by the Tanlac Treatment after
other remedies have failed, but many of them
have reported remarkable and rapid increase
in weight and return to normal health ana
strength by its use.
Although Tanlac's claims for supremacy are
abundantly supported by the worlds leading
authorities, it is the people themselves who have
really made Tanlac what it is. Millions upon mil
lions have used it with the most gratifying re-
suits and have told other millions what it has
done for them.
That is THE REASON WHY Tanlac
has become the real sensation of the drug
trade in the United States and Canada, and
that is also THE REASON WHY it is hav-
