j Praise It.
Improve it.
Talk about It.
Write about it.
Be public spirted
Tell of its business resources.
Tell • f its natural advantages.
Trade and induce others to
trade there.
When strangers come to town
treat them well.
Don’t call your best friends
frauds and imposters.
Support the local institutions
that support your town.
Look ahead vi yourself when
all of the town is to be considered.
Don't forget that you live off
the people here and you should
help ns they help you.
Don't advertise in the local
paper merely to help the editor,
but to help yourself.
Join all in getting together and j
keeping things moving. Hustle
j all the time and keep a stiff upper
lip, talking for the town.
Occasionally you will hear
j some man say that he doesn’t
| like some paper he is taking be-
cause it contains too much adver
tising. If he would take a rea-
sonable view of the matter he
would at once see the great ad-
vantage offered by the advertis-
ing columns This same man will
often say. “Well I want to buy
so and so, but do not know where
to get it.” If he would watch the
advertising columns of his paper
he would, without doubt, see
where some enterprising and
hustling dealer has it for sale,
and that at a less price than it
usually sells for.
