Show " "" . The TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) , Says NEXT WEEK IS CHRISTMAS. ' I For the sake of those who have stood behind the counter from eariy j morning till late at night trying to pleas you, satisfy and serve you well, I hope you did your shopping early. I hope there isn't a toy left ia all of your stores I hope every boy and every girl will find their stockings full to overflowing that you will see to it that every boy and girl does have a Christmas. May everybody in Gunnison be happy and merry this Christmas, and when the family circle gathers 'round the dinner table, may every heart be glad. No doubt there will be those with you this year who haven't been back to the old home town for months perhaps years. There may be, too, those among you who have never been in Gunnison before. While they are '"home," light of heart and gay, meeting old acquaintances and making new, show them Gunnison as it is today. Tell them what hopes you have for future growth and ask them, when occasion arises, to say a good word for Gunnison. "Sell them" on the place where you live, work, play and make your money, so that wherever they go they will be emmisaries creating prestige, good will, and who can tell, perhaps a new industry, new people, may come of it. "Sell them," yes; but do not overdo it. Avoid dangerous optimism and superlatives. Remember there is no such thing as a "best" town. When a town is worst, it's bound to become better, hut the community that is best could be no better, and there, and there ia no habitat that could not be improved, im-proved, upon. Again, I S3y, may Gunnison have a most joyful Christmas. Copyright, 192P, Dyckston, Inc. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part. |
