son when asked to his opinion con-
corning the purchasing of city prop
erty in Flagstaff from an investment
standpoint replied: "I regard it as
a very good investment. The fact of
the matter is that now is the logical
time to buy property here We have
so many things surrounding this city
which will eventually be developed
(and some are in process of develop
ment now, that the future is abso-
lutely assured. Then too, everything
points to Flagstaff becoming one of
the educational centers in the South
west. We have one of the best school
systems here in the state, and Ariz-
ona is noted for prOgressiveness in
this matter, and all operated and
built along strictly modern lines.
This together with our civic achiev-
ment make Flagstaff one of the most
desirable home cities to be found any
where in this part of the United
States''

The business has shown a very sat

Dickinson wish to be quoted as
boosters. Mr.. Alf Dickinson said:
THE future of both the town of
Flagstaff and Coconino County looks
awfully good. We have everything
in our favor for future expansion,
such as climate, scenery, good pro-
ductive agriculture country and
good stock-raising country. l don't
think one can find a better class of
people anywhere than the residents
of Flagstaff. All of our people help
the newcomer and extend the we'll
known and typical western hospital
ity. Our greatest need is outside
capital for development purposes"
