That because men have power of thought is why
so many cities have progressed so fast.
That thoughts properly directed possess the
ability of action.

That all citizens should act, and act together to
help business. Helping business is the one big
way to help a city.
That buildig a city is such a big, square-deal

That if they do, each one as well as the whole
city, WUI te JIlore prosperous.
That where citizens W rich with ability and
energy and the willingness to work,' nothing
can hold them back.
That success is always achieved when all work
and pull together.
