An Appreciation
A certain town in Michigan is
a satisfying place of residence
for tlie two editors of that place
Not long ago the people got to-
gether and decided the town
needed pushing As u preliminary
step the promoters agreed to
recognize the importance of the
two local weekly newspapers
It was realized that while every
man womtin and child in town
might write a letter to outsiders
concerning the advantages of
their community or that five or
ten men might be sent out to
travel and talk up the town its
newspapers it properly backed
would do fifty times us much
That town had two weekly
papers The meeting voted to
raise 100 apiece for them and
the editors pledged themselves
to get out “boom” issues They
STORE THAT SAVES YOU MONEY
Why
Albetross Flour
Is the Best
did so devoting three pages to
the history of the town its
growth its advantages and
needs Every item that might
prove of -use to manufacturers
or -business men was inserted
and all information that home-
seekers might desire wuh given
at length The editors more
than earned their money When
they had their mailer in hand
a second public meeting voted
to buy and send -out 5000
copies of euclt paper mailing
them to merchants mutnifac
turers and others in various
states In addition to this 500
families agreed to liny fiveoopies
each and mail them away The
result 1ms been just what was
looked for by the level-headed
men who started the movement
That wolverene town of 5000
inhabitants is being tulked
about today in a dozen states
find its postmaster mayor and
tin editors are being flooded
with letters of inquiry It has
been visited by men looking for
factory sites by men who wish
to establish some line of mer-
cantile business by people
searching for work and for
homes The results have come
quickly and are more than sat-
isfactory Had 100 men gone
east west north and south and
talked for weeks they could not
have created half the stir
