Show offer us a million-a-year payroll. A Chamber of Commerce, with a full-time secretary drawing- a salary which will enable him to do nothing but promote Milford and work every day for the advancement of our city, will pay off in cash dollars to every business man, every individual, in the Mil-ford Mil-ford Valley area. Plan to attend the meeting, meet-ing, and express YOUR views. A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ? About half a hundred Milford citizens and business men, subscribing to the belief that Milford sorely needs a publicity and development develop-ment organization, have expressed their intention in-tention of helping form a Milford Chamber of Commerce. Plans call for an organizational meeting at an early date, probably next week.

A similar sim-ilar plant installed south of here might have been located at Milford, had we a representative representa-tive to contact the vegetable concern and offer inducements to locate in Milford. We need paved runways at our airport. We need a mill to process Milford Valley ores. We need a canning plant to preserve the Milford Mil-ford Valley fruits and vegetables raised here and a-potato chip factory -to 'commercialize the surplus spuds grown in the Valley. We need a laundry and dry cleaner to care for the many hundreds of dollars weekly business busi-ness that goes to Cedar City. We need many other enterprises here, but we aren't' going to get them by sitting on our bottoms and waiting for someone to come along and |
