HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.
Ir. urging the importance of loyalty to one's out. town and commu-
nity. and the need of using all available means for its upbuilding, ar. ex-
change grows satirical, ar.d gets off the following on "How to Kill Your
Town."
Buy from peddlers as much and as often as possible; they make a
profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of a man who has done much to build up your
town.
Make your town out as bad a place as you can.
Refuse to unite in any scheme for the betterment of the material in-
terests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you can buy goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge them with extortion.
If a stranger comes to your town, tell him everything is overdone, and
predict a genera: crash in the near future.
Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your own, and then
denounce yours for not being as large and as cheap as the city papers.
If you are a merchant, don't advertise in the home paper, but compel
the editor to go elsewhere for advertisements: then howl like a sore-head
because he does so. Buy a rubber stamp and use it It may save you a
few dimes and make letterheads and wrappers look as though you were
doing business in a one-horse tcfwr..
If you are a farmer, curse the place where you trade as the meanest
on earth. Talk this over to your neighbors and tell them the men are
robbers and thieves. It will make your property much less valuable; but
you don't care.
