"Stay nwuy from that town. It's a
^lend one."
Do you want that to be said ot
your town? Of course you don't, for
you wish, as a matter of local pride, If
jlfor no other reason, to have your
l town stand high In the estimation of
I the world. But are you sure that you
[are doing everything In your power
'rto place your town In the position
'which you wish to occupy? That Is the
jquestlon that every,person should ask
thimself or herself at frequent inter-
■vals.
When things are running smoothly,
• when times are good, and when It la
{fairly easy to make a good living for
'.the wife and kiddles, It Is so easy for
ia man to forget that these things do
mot come to a town as a matter of
[course, but are the result of the
[right kind of effort on the part of the
(citizens of the community. It Is so
'easy for a man to grow careless and
ithink that because this condition ex-
isted it will continue to exist without
lany effort on his part or that of the
;other residents of the community.
That is why It Is Important for every
one to stop and think seriously once
in a while about what It would mean
to him If the prosperity that makes
life worth living for him should take
wings and fly away.
Nobody Loves a Dead Town.
Nobody likes to live In a dead town.
No one even likes to visit a dead town.
That Is why you sometimes hear that
Warning, "Stay away from that town,
jt's a dead one." The town which has
the reputation of being a dead one suf-
fers as if from a pestilence. Busi-
ness men seeking new locations will
jiave none of It. The live traveling
i-inlesman, even, will give It a wide
berth. Those who live in It will get
away If they can.
When a town Is live and prosperous,
local business is good, real estate val-
ues are high and stable, labor is in
.demand and wages are good, the
.streets are well lighted, the residents,
and their property are protected from'
robbery and flre and good schools are
maintained for the education of the
children. When a town Is dead, there
is little money in circulation, store
buildings stand empty with "For Sale"
islgn hanging on the front door, there
;is little employment for the laboring
man, the streets are dark, the schools
are crippled.
What sort of town do you want to
'live in? There is only one answer to
•that question. You want to live in the
live town and enjoy all the good things
'that come to the residents of such a
> community.
Answer Easily Found.
• The only question then is as to how
; these prosperous conditions can bu
; created or maintained and It Is the
'easiest thing in the world to find the
! answer to that question.
, If the people of .a community will
keep their money at home and keep it
,in circulation among themselves, they
need have no fear of ever being com-.
pelled to live in a dead town. If the
people will patronize their own busi-
ness men Instead of sending their dol-
lars to the mail order houses, the
prosperity of the community will take
care of Itself.
The local stores, to a very large ex-
tent, make every town. The taxes
'paid by the business men of the com-
munity are the principal support of
!tl e schools and public Institutions. It
'.is the taxes paid by the storekeepers,
to a large extent, that make possible
the public improvements, the flre pro-
tection, the street lighting and the
many other things which make a town
■worth living in. The mail order house
■does not pay any taxes in the town
from which it gets its money. It does
not help to support the schools or
the churches. It does not help light
the streets or maintain the fire de-
partment. It Is the aim of the mail i
.order houses to drive small town mer-1
chants out of business, so that the '
people will be compiled to send to j
/the cities for their merchandise and |
they are spending thousands of dol-!
lars every month t .accomplish this
purpose. If they should succeed, who
would pay the taxes that are now
paid by the local merchants? It's a
certainty that the mail order house
•would not pay them.
Issue Is Clear Cut
Every dollar spent at home helps
to make the town a live one.
Every dollar sent away from home
to the mail order house helps to make
the town a dead one.
The issue Is a clear-cut one and is
squarely up to every resident of the
community, whether a resident of the!
town itself or of the country surround-
ing it. The man who does not care
whether he lives In a live or a dead
town, if there is such a man, need
waste no thought on the subject, but
the man who wants to live in a live
town cannot get away from it. It is.
up to him to make his town a live one
or a dead one.
