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 It- wag a group of duck- wbooting doctors.
