again the words of Horace Greeley ring true:
GO WEST, YOUNG MAN. GO WEST!
sNot even in the promising days of Horace Greeley did the
West have as much to offer young men, young industry and
old industry imbued with the spirit of youth. For make no mis-
take, the West of today is not the West of yesterday. 1t still is,
and always will be, an empire of vast agricultural and mineral
resources and production. But it is acquiring a new role
that of an industrial empire.
During the pastf few wartime years, scores ofindustries have
built, equipped or manned new plants throughout the West.
Like the early settlers of Horace Greeley's days, they have
liked what the West has to ofer-its vast natural resources its
accessibility, its transportation, its friendliness, the alert spirit
gifts towns and cities, the eagerness ofits people to work and
go places. These are the things which have wrought industrial
miracles in the West during crucial wartime. They wW stand
industry in equally good stead in The peaceful years ahead. That
is why the West offers a real opportunity to expanding indus
