Deserves Public Support
Every Bismarck resident would do
well to give all possible support to
the program for the current year
adopted by the Association Of Com
merce. II carried out successfully it
means not only better city in which
to live and rear family but in
creased prosperity for all Of us.
Projects for the Identification Of
Bismarck merely emphasize tend
ency which already has been marked.
There is much room for improve
ment, to be sure, but on the whole
Bismarcks appearance compares IA
vorably with that Of any other city
anywhere. This, OF course, is no rea-
son why we should rest on our oars.
Under the leadership Of our local civic
organization every resident should
redouble his efforts to make his own
place attractive.
The movement to bring more man
ufacturing enterprises to this area Is
OF vast and far-reaching importance.
It affects the welfare Of every indi-
wdual in the city, no matter what hts
status.
One often hears It said that the
Association Of Commerce Is an or
ganization for the business man
alone. This is true only In that 1t
Is the business men who contribute
largely to its support. If it succeeds
in bringing new industries here, for
example, 1t viii broaden the oppor-
tunities for employment and benefit
persons who never conceived any
benefits flowing directly to them
from such an organization.
With repeal an established fact,
Bismarck could use brewery. There
may be technical reasons why such
an enterprise might find 1t little
difficult here, such as the lack Of
market In which to purchase barley,
but this would not seem insurmount-
able and we have other assets not
boosted by other North Dakota cities,
Among these Is our location almost
In the center Of large area In which
no enterprise of this kind now exists
and our inexhaustible supply Of pure
water.
"A brewery In Bismarck should
prove profitable enterprise. would
keep dollars at home which now are
going outside the state, and reduce
the cost Of this popular beverage.
Because they have failed in the
past. efforts to obtain . packing
plant for Bismarck should not be
abandoned. In addition to being a
major benefit to the city, 1t would
be . boon to many farmers who
would find it q superior marketing
place for livestock.
The importance Of the new capitol
building as . reason for bringing
conventions to Bismarck Is properly
emphasized. Statistics show that the
average convention draws Just little
bit better hero than In any other
North Dakota city because Of our
central location and ease Of access.
Our unsurpassed housing facilities
can accommodate any crowd and
those attending statewide gatherings
arc liable to be more comfortable
here than when they 60 elsewhere.
It Is not at all unfriendly for Bis
tuarck to point out its advantages
over other communities In this re-
spect. Neither Is It amiss for us to
mention that the attraction which
our magnificent new capitol build
ing affords enables many persons to
kill two birds with one stone. The
people paid for the structure and 1t
IS only natural that they should want
to see 1t. Convention managers
should keep this in mind in choosing
q place for meeting. Activity on the
part Of the Association Of Commerce
Is necessary to SEQ that they do 50.
Conventions mean moro money In
circulation here and, sooner o. later.
it gets spread around to the entire
populace.
The other items Ia tho program
are eminently sound and offer the
groundwork for activity BY every per-
son who wants to make Bismarck q
bigger and better city.
