TAKING AN INVENTORY

Every city likes to grow, and every town likes
to develop into city 1t is human nature to
desire progress, and it is the progress we make
which marks us from the lower animals. Of course
every city cannot develop into a metropolis,
and all towns cannot develop into great manufac-
turing cities. But in nearly every city and town
it is possible to get better year by year.
There are different ways of developing. The
commonest one of course is to bring new indus
tries into the community. Before this is under
taken the. community might well take survey
of its industries and its natural advantages. This
ought to be done every year or two so that any
work performed by the commercial club or civic
organization will not be done blindy but with
some definite plan in view Every enterprising
merchant takes inventory of his business once
or twice a year Why should not the city and
town take stock of what it has and what it ex-
poets to do in the succeeding twelve months?
Some cities and towns are ideally situated for
certain Kinds of industries, and other conmun-
tiles would naturally attract different industries
The thing for the enterprising community to do,
of course, is to find out the kind of business it
can get and then go after it.
If this be done there is little doubt that the
average community can do some developing
There are many industries anxious to leave the
congested centers of population for various rea-
sons. As a general thing small factories which
are apt to grow into big institutions do town
more good than the larger kind which are apt to
make its industrial life one sided. And as like
attracts like one or two industries of certain
kind are likely to bring similar or correlating
industries into the city,
