SKOWHEGAN FACES
PROSPEROUS YEAR

The New Year finds the citizens of
Skowhegan filled with more civic en-
thusiasm than has been evidenced be-
fore for years. There is every indi-
cation of an era of prosperity In all
lines of business that will place this
town in the class in which she be-
longs. Important plans are already
being made by business men to en-
large their field Of operations and
render better service to their increas-
ing patronage. A study of agricul-
tural conditions shows that the far
mers are getting ready for big sea-
son and will crop their land to the
extent of their ability to handle the
acreage. With Skowhegan the center
of one OF the largest and richest
farming sectionsin Maine this fact Is
of great local Importance.
Lakewood, Skowhegan's famous
summer resort will have the biggest
season in its history and extensive
arrangements are now under way to
care for and entertain the increase in
patronage.
There is also reliable rumors Of
several new industries to locate here
during the year which will add SUBJ
stantially to the weekly pay rolls.
With this fairly reliable forecast of
prosperity for Skowhegan for the
year 1926, there Is every reason for a
happy New Year for its citizens.
