eat no time have had more faith in
he future Of Douglas than / have at
this time, with 1927 at hand. | believe
we go into the new year with better
prospects for permanent growth than
at any time in our history.
I'VE have turned the corner, our peo-
pie generally have regained full con-
fidence, and we are now telling our
selves and neighbors that Douglas has
many things worth while and have
now come into the realization that we
are so much better off than many
other communities that we are glad
our homes and interests are in Doug
las
Il am expecting Douglas Immediately
to take on growth and development
that should carry us we'll over the
10000 population mark by 1880. Every
citizen of this community should be
glad and willing to declare: L am for
Douglas the most pleasant city in the
whole southwest"

1T takes no prophet to see that
Douglas will enjoy more prosperity
war; 1926 showed a gain in all lines
of more than 25 per cent. and l expect
the new year to show a still greater
increase.
i During the early part of 1925 the
I people of this city decided to test the
proposition Of advancing our city by
means of national advertising. We
raised the funds for this, and then the
greatest advertiser of all appeared
among us. That incident, regardless
of what others may think, has done
more to help us advertise Douglas than
anything else. 1t called the attention
of the world to Douglas, and made our
advertising program doubly effective.
"A people, offering united front,
can accomplish almost anything, and
l, for one, accept our latest civic slo-
gan, Permanent Progressive Prosper
ity, at face value, beginning now

Manager, Copper Queen Branch
Phelps Dodge Corporation
Everything with the Copper Queen
branch at Douglas and Bisbee points
to the year 1927 being a very busy
one. Our new copper smelling furnace
at Douglas Will be started early in the
year, and later in the summer, the new
lead furnace will be blown in At Bis
bee the new Warren shaft. which is
Opening up an entirely new prospect
. ing area, will be pushed as rapidly as
/ possible.
THE prospects for a satisfactory
price on copper and silver are not as
good as they were at the first of 1926
and on the price we receive for the
metal we sell naturally depends the
degree of material prosperity that we
\ may hope to expect. SO far as the
i communities of Bisbee and Douglas
H are concerned. it would seem to me
that there is justification for their en-
\ tering the new year in spirit of sat
isfaction and confidence"
