Editor Grantsville Reflex, Grantsville, ' Utah: - v Dear Sir: I am a reader of your most valuable paper, "The Grantsville Reflex coming as It does, from home, and containing many Items of interest. Its arrival Is looked forward to with pleasure. It is Indeed pleasing to note the improvement of conditions, and the development of enterprise under the able leadership of men who are rei lly optimistic. Grantsville Is regressive If viewed from the Items contained In the Reflex, and the pap r Itself, coupled with the various, eni irprlses of which It speaks, reflects the hopefulness and determination i anifest in the people, and the uc ess that has crowned their efforts. In the. hope of making Grantsville one pf the most prominent country towns of the state. I loudly applaud the efforts of the Commercial Club, and thj other organisations that have taken in hand the task of boost Ing Grantsville. There Is no reason why Grantsville should not be one of the. most influential towns of Utah,' when the best facilities are at hand and can be used for the development of its resources. Let unity be the watchword, and "success" the aim, and I am sure success will crown your efforts. It takes the united force of the people to make boosting a success even in the more promising districts or in the most fertile countries. Of course opposition will eventually follow progress, but where there Is no opposition there Is no progression. The world has seen too many failures, attributed chiefly to quitting, when the thing sought is almost within the grasp of the seeker. One of our famous men said, Never get discouraged because you do not at once meet witA what you call success. Success often sees many discouragements before It makes itself manifest. The man who is worth while is the man who can smile in the face of adversity; and when appsirent defeat comes, smile and begin again. So let the citizens rejoice in the thought that they are boosting for Grantsville, and if obstacles are encountered and must be met, show that you are worth while by smiling in the face of adversity and begin again. Let every one boost for Grantsville, and Grantsville, the Reflex, and a thousand other things will boost.for you. Wishing you success, remain, yours respectfully, ' ... ELDER H.

' . r - . County the sum of The enterprising spirit shown by this progressive Institution Is to be commended, and we wish to call it to the attention of every farmer and owner of land in t he county. We believe It Is time for the people of Tooele and the surrounding country to wake up and take advantage of the opportunities which nature has bestowed on the people of this county. Thlc fact was strongly pointed out by the learned and distinguished men who conducted the Farmers Institute, which was held In Tooele last month. We believe that it is time for our Commercial Club to shake off its lethargy and get in line to help establish industries such as the Commercial Bank proposes to do if the proper support Is given. Our business menwant to get together and show a spirit of union for the development of the resources surrounding Tooele. We wonder if our Commercial Club considers it has done Its duty for an other year after haring had a banquet and a meeting with the members of tiie Salt Lake Commercial Club. We believed that was lust a starter for activity on the part of the local club, and have been looking" expectantly forward for calls to meet and discuss matters In the interests of Tooele and the county in general, but sad to relate up to the present time we have been disappointed. There Is nothing which so enthuses and promotes a spirit of optimism among the people of a community than getting together and discussing methods and means of how to best develop the resources which are lying right at our doors. .Let us hear from the officers of the club and that a meeting of members be held at least once a month for committees which have been appointed for specific purposes to report to and show that Tooele has a Commercial Club not in name only. MERCHANTS OF TOOELE ORGANIZE CREDIT ASSOCIATION. At q meeting held last Thursday evening in the City Hall, the merchants of the town organized the Tooele Credit Association, electing The John J. Glllett, following officers: president; Wm. H. Vowles, and R. J. Huntington, secretary and treasurer. The object of the association Is to enable the merchants to know the people who pay their bills and to whom It Is safe to extend credit Each merchant who Is a member of the association will furnish to the secretary once a month a list of all customers on his books with Information as to how they pay their bills. This Information may be had from the secretary at any time when a member of the association needs it An organization of this kind Is of great Importance, not only to the merchants, but to the people of the town. Every man who does not pay his bills makes the most of living Just so much higher for the man who does, any plan that helps the merchant to keep his books free from bad debts Is bound to work to the advantage of his customers. The Credit Association will make credit easy to get for the man who deserves It, and bard to get for the man who does not, The fallowing merchants are members of the association: Paker-Warne- r Lumber Co., Tooele Mercantile Co., Tooele Trading Co., Vowles A Evans, Square Deal Real Estate Co., L.
