To See This City Grow.
If you want to see this town
grow, remember that you are a
part of it and its growth depends
as much upon you as on your
neighbors. Don’t get the idea
that the future prosperity of this
town rests with a few, for it is
the business of the many. Above
all, don’t criticise those who are
trying to upbuild the community
and do nothing yourself. They
at least have the proper spirit,
and, just as long as you deny
them your support, just that
much harder their work will be.
Be a booster for the town and
lend your co-operation to those
who had the nerve to start first.

it is never to late to begin.—Ex.
