Our Trade Territory
flo o r
be cheerful givers. They have built hotels, promot
ed industries, bought stock in community enterprises,
voted water bonds, contributed to worthy drives
and supported everything that came up that might
be of some benefit to the community. However in
thinking over some of the many, things that have
been accomplished, we eannot help but wonder if
the asthetic side of things has not been well looked
after and the practical side somewhat forgotten. We
wonder that if in our zeal to see to a successful
finish some of the many things that have been sup
p lie d so generously, if we have not rather for
gotten, the fact that a drive- for more business in
Ashland, an extension of our trade territory, for
example would not also be a fine thing to foster.
We believe that one side of the scales should
balance the other, and that the business interests are
worthy of some community cooperation in the de
velopment of more trade territory. We know there
are those who will scoff at this and say that there
is only so much business to be had and that we
are getting all of that. To those we can but point
to that modern store in little North Dakota town,
that by reaching out has built a business many
times larger than would be expected in a town of
that size.
We are of the opinion that should a concerted
effort be made to bring into Ashland, a fair portion
of those who live within our rightful trade territory’,
every business institution would be in a position
to increase the financial support given to the other
t\ [>e of project. We believe that there are m^ny
people in Ashland who spend more money in neigh
boring cities than they do hero. We farther be
lieve that one reason for this state of affairs is large
ly because we have made no particular unified
action 'to keep them at .home. Now with such a
splendid record of achievement behind ns why not
temper our activities long enough to work out a
feasible plan to increase ptir trade territory, to con
vince our residents that Ashland has just as good
stores, just as large stocks, and just as favorable
prices as <jan be found in any of our neighboring
cities. Let’s make a special effort to make local
cash register totals show an iucrease. Then when
this is done, and there is need for support from the
business institutions on some community project,
the response can be aad will be greater than we have
ever had before.
The Ideal Politician
That man who expects te be “ eminentfy so o
eeesfnl,” year after year, in politics must have
certain qnalifirations and attributes which will
bring him the adulation of the ipbb.
He must have no opinions on any public qnctr
ti(m; or if he don, sltould keep them to himself
religiously. Ho inns? never take an active inter
est m any commnnfty enterprise, the progress of
which to a successful conclusion is bound to alienate
erstwhile friends, no matter how meritorious the
project may be or how mach eventual benefit will
accrue to the community. He must never “ speak
oot in meeting” on any issue which is bound to
call for a division of belief. He must be as well-
lubricated as an eight-evlinder m n f o r o r in u« far
.ended fci a groan.
