# Milford has two financially stron

= icy, zone for all and all for one"mus
;, be applied to bring success for bus
! mess and community spirit, through
observance of moral laws and elm
} hation of petty jealousy.
Milford has two hospitals and boil
working in perfect harmony, anC
each growing rapidly in great value
and help to the town and State oi
2 Delaware.
Milford has two ship yards, each
. helpful to the other and using the
most modern equipment; which, in
years past would have been regarded
as impractical. The spirit of COM
petition has revolutionized the ship
building business and even in this
depressed period of ship building,
these yards are finding business and
keep in operation.
Milford has great dental labOra-
tories with wide touch in dental re-
search work, which employs several
hundreds of men and women, who
are working under the best sanitary
conditions, and the wage and salary
scale paid out each week in Milford,
is a marvellous sum in money, to
those who employed labor in the re-
cent years of just before the great
war.
Milford has also a unique manu-
featuring business, which consumes
much gum and poplar timber, to
make plaques, spoons and fancy
wood dishes, that go into all parts
of North America and other coun-
tries.
Milford has one of the largest
commercial printing plants on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula and the third
largest circulating weekly newspa-
per in the United States in the Mil
ford Chronicle.
Milford has two Building and Loan
Associations and both have grown to
proportions greater than the origi- .
nal association and at times even
they jointly find it difficult to supply
the demand for their service.
Milford shops and stores now em-
ploy double the number of salespeO-
pie they did in just a few years
past; which shows ever increasing
amount of business.
Milford's theatre and amusement
places are thronged with people
amusement, and at times the
crowds equal gala events of years
gone by, without notice Of comment
now.
Milford's streets are congested
with automobiles evenings and dur
ing the weekly shopping days; the
people are wearing better clothes
and spend money freely
Lest we forget, it is well to say
hat there is a cause for all of this,
md it may be found in the fact, that
here has been general education and
IN awakening of all the people; that l
)etter wages have prevailed and the {
people realize that money boarded I
nd not working, will not bring pros '
,erity. That it is only by paying L
wing wages and adopting a policy a
Frightening surroundings and S
that in their own case that a
city jealousy never has and never n
ill build up any business, town or a
tate. Jealousy saps brain vitality a
nd leads into paths that end in fail p
re and unhappiness; it never C
rought success to anything and it n
ever will. ii
Milford has more workers now, p
ian was ever known in the past; il
nd, so long as the spirit of pro- g
ress prevails Milford will continue b
, attract others to make their home ii
ith us.
Welcome to the live-wires and
leir broad ideas and helpful spirit;
lese are real citizens. Those who
,me to Milford or any other town -,
die, are of no value as an asset M
Id never will be to the town as ct
are liabilities.
