W e have found them good, and price equal or better to those shipped in to compete with our products for preference. “ It is from such concerted action that our in dustries, our farmers, our lumbering, civic and social groups, our schools, our merchants, and our people can work together in a coopera tive effort for an individual and collective growth. “ Let us make the ten days set aside to honor industry a great success.
