Show Do You Support Your Town? j Today thu Herald goes to its readers' with a group oi' editorial comments on Springville and Provo business men who use the columns of this paper as an advertising adver-tising medium. The personality oi these men and the quality of their merchandise is recommended recom-mended to our patrons. We have every assurance that those who deal with these firms or individuals will receive the most courteous treatment to be had, hence we bespeak be-speak for them your consideration. Springville Herald will from time to time touch on the merits of its advertisers, with a thought of inducing its patrons to g'.e them a greater percentage of their trade i than has been their custom in the past. There are, ot course, instances where the buyer is almost forced to leave his home town to get just what he wants, on the contrary, there are many who make a practice of leaving town for things they migiit just as well get from their neighbor who is in business. If every citizen ir Springville would buy such merchandise as he could right here at home, we doubt if there .would be a vacant building on our main street. Many of the young men and women who now have to leave their homes and loved ones to find employment elsewhere, would find em ployment right here. Landlords, and they sometimes show less of the home-town spirit than many others, would find their properties prop-erties in much greater demand. Certainly there is no more beautifully s 'tuated city anywhere than Springville. It has all the elements essential to peaceful, happy living. To appreciate this fact, one needs but to travel about a bit and make comparisons. Springville has an ideal scenic setting; it has a peace-loving citizenry where friendships friend-ships are formed from long acquaintance, and a sociability prevails that found its origin ori-gin in that sturdy band of pioneers headed by the matchless leader, Brigham Young. For the most part, Springville has a population of industrious people, a fact that is reflected in the beautiful home surroundings. Beautiful flowers and shrubbery adorn the homes of most of its people. These are surrounded by well kept farms. As an example one needs but to drive over the East Bench and view the landscape from that angle. This view presents a scsne that many cities would capitalize on. Surely Springville might well afford to photograph some of these views and issue literature lit-erature portraying them to the world. We wish we might exploit more of our resources and bring our people to the realization real-ization that contentment is not found in foreign lands. There is no greater satisfaction satisfac-tion than that found in building a foundation for life among friends. So, as a concluding con-cluding word, we wish to urge our readers, and especially the younger element of our citizenry, to try to establish themselves in business here at home.' Of course, this cannot always be done,' but we might well follow the precepts of some of the successful business men of our city. Take, for instance, those who have entered the contracting business, and Springville furnishes the state with a large percentage per-centage of road construction contractors. These men reach out and bring much I wealth and property to the city. They give many Springville men employment, so they have done, and are now doing, 'much for the city. j Other enterprises might be developed that would be equally helpful. The poultry j business is rapidly bringing handsome returns to investors in this field. There are equal opportunities in the dairy industry, a -id many other fields of endeavor that might j be mentioned; all of which are beneficial in the development of this city |
