The casual observer is apt to
conclude - that all towns situated
in similar .territory are so much
alike that a description of one will
serve as a description of all, with,
the change :,, of. .names and a few
statistics as to; high school, the

local interest, etc. But such Is
not the case. Towns differ In In
dividuality as distinctly as persons.
In 'Other words; each town has its

plainly marked as ' are those . of
