NEMGYl
The Seed of Prosperity.
Supposing every man in a community was slovenly and un
tidy, what kind of a city would grow up there?
It may be the very natural desire to be in the lead that
prompts the more progressive element to forge ahead.
Is it not a laudable ambition , "
For tSmith to Say:--
"I Built the Finest House in Oregon, Here"
For Jones to Say:
"I Raise the Finest Stock in Oregon, Here"
For Brown toSay:
"We have the Loveliest Women in Oregon,
Here.
My Ambition
Is to have the "Most Up-to-date" Clothing
Establishment in Oregon, here in Astoria
