HOLDING PUBLIC INTEREST
is WRIGLEY'S RECIPE

How can we write down 1923 as a
prosperous year in business history
"The greatest cure for hard times"
says William Wrigley, Jr., "is to stop
talking about hard times, get to work
and keep money and goods in circu-
lation. The year 1922" declares Mr..
Wngley. twas regarded as a pretty
bad period for lots of concerns in he
East and Middle West. For our
chewing gum business it was the best
year in the thirty years of my his
tory as business man. We are
spending $1,000 day this year to
push Wrigley's chewing gums, and
already we have every reason to be-
lieve it will be bigger year for us
than last. The judicious use of print
er's ink is the greatest selling force
in the world. If you do business on
worldwide basis, or even in the To-
cality encompassed within few
blocks, you've got to keep the people
interested or you won't sell them your
goods"
What has been good for Mr.. Wrig-
ley, and made him Independently rich,
ought to be good for a man doing
business in Julesburg. That's why
we invite our business men to read
the above lines carefully.

The following humorous sketch of
California is published for the bene-
fit of those contemplating adding one
more to the California Colony, and
will be appreciated by all true lovers
of Colorado:
"Along about 1910 California real.
ly began to advance. A couple of fell
lows by the name of Lewis and
Clark began running cheap excur-
sions out over the Union Pacific rail
road.
"The Barbary Coast was made an
open port.
Joaquin Miller and Bret Harte
began writing poetry about the eli.
mate.
"But the state did Anot really gel
its start until fellow by the name
of Marshall started a gold cure up
near Sacramento. Inside of a yea,
there were 100000 of gold diggers
of both sexes-working there.
"Thus we see that California was
discovered by the Spanish, fought fol
by the Irish, settled by the Yankees
built by the Chinese-owned by the
Jews-and rup by the native sons.
With the Spanish in the south, the
Yankees in the north and tourists all
over it, California had a marvellous
growth. In fact, it grew so fast that
they had to divide it into two parts
Northern and Southern California
and had to place two deserts and q
mountain range in between to keen
the two parts from fighting.
"The capital of the northern part
was called San Francisco. That of
the southern portion was called Los
Angeles.
"'San' means Saint - Angeles
means Angels But that was quite
long time ago.

and the San Francisco City hall are

world.
"San Francisco has more restau-
rants named for dogs than any city
in the world.

hotel are renowned for the number
of sealskins to be seen there on any
afternoon.
