Our Country
and History

The accusation is often
thrown at US by visitors
from across the sea that
we are a country without
a history, without tradi-
tons, and we Americans,
absorbed in business,
complacently let such ac-
cusa att on S go unchal-
lenged.
Yet our country teens
with history of the most
poignant, romantic and
constructive kind. Our
history is short but vi
brant and decisive - our
early struggles with the
Indians; our Revolution
airy War that made US a
Nation; the migration
West; Gettysburg = and
every step in our history
has made9 for progress.
The history of our
Stores has also been rap
id, but like that of our
Nation, it has been sue
cessful and constructive.
