patients through.

HELP TO BUILD UP STROUD.
The “Stroud Immigration Sheets”
for the Commercial Club are now in
and ready for distribution. We are
interested in getting them sent back
to our old homes that others may
know of the country we live in.
Every man can get as many as he
needs to mail to his friends. And
it would be a good idea to write a
short letter to the friend you send
one to, asking that he post it up in
some public place. This occupies
but little time and trouble and helps
to accomplish the purpose for which
they were printed. It is the neatest
piece of work of an advertising nat-
ure ever sent out from the West.
The people of this county should
take some pride in seeing that the
hangers are well distributed in the
old states. It helps to build up our
country.
