The Chamber of Commerce
has succeeded in many of the
things it has undertaken. Why
cant it build an Auto Camping

is coming when the community
will f-ee the result of the lack of
one.
Enterprising men accomplish
big things, and don’t let tne
little things bother them. It
takes tact, schrewdness, money
and ability to build cities. A
progressive man is a big asset if
he i n’t afraid of petty stories
and untrue iusinuations from
