those inac interests ests to the best of our ability NOT WORTH advertising A writer with a gift for phrasing once wrote if your store is not worth advertising advertise it for sale his phrase z runs trippingly but his hia logic halts to sell a store that is is not worth advertising would be to defraud the buyer so that advise is ethically unsound of course there are not many stores that are not worth advertising ver in this town perhaps none nt all the fact is no store ever gets to be worth very much beyond the mere open market value of stock and fixtures until it has been adequately advertised 14 until then it has exerted no influence as an organization equipped for useful service to the public it has bus simply been a place where certain things were kept for sale after it has had the breath of life put into it by advertising it becomes a store in the militant sense intent upon winning friends upon problems of growth the dullest store in this town can be rejuvenated in a month until it finds a place in the procession but only through advertising if however the store were not worth advertising it would lc ic more commendable to close up entirely than to try to sell to somebody else IN EVERYBODY REACH I 1 A fact which as we view it should strike every man in this section of utah with great force is that of all the counties count iea of the state U ite not one has been more generously favored by nature than Car bonWith carbon with this truth before us it is little less than amazing that so small advantage has been taken of natural conditions here at home atwould almost seem that some of us had made up pur minds that mediocrity were preferable to greatness that penury i were ere desired above affluence that mere hand to mouth existence were more fitting to our dispositions than real life with all its comforts and blessings his sings there is a century old story of an indolent shift shiftless legs boy who sat down in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up and be milked As far as tho the testimony is in he is sitting there yet and will so remain to the end of time some of us here in carbon county are occupying the same foolish position we are waiting for lind hind old nature after having furnis furnished bcd us with the best of opportunities ni ties to sow the seed reap the harvest and dump the golden reward into our laps look abo it you here with hundreds upon hundreds of squal e miles of fertile coil waiting only for the caress of plow and harrow where from five to tun ten acres properly tilled and cared for will make any man in depend depena nt you abandon your farm and go out to do arduous labor of the freighter or day laborer here with limitless li supplies of wood at your very door you go into debt for a ton of coal rather than make the insignificant physical effort necessary to supply yourself with free fuel think of importing potatoes onions and other vegetables ables into price when we could produce enough of them at our ont very doors to supply not only the homo home demand but that of the country for miles around mark this men of carbon county A community in order to be commercially healthy must produce more than it consumes it must sell more than it buys the same is true of the individual youve got to secure from your personal effort more than your actual needs demand if you would be numb numbered pred among tho the prosperous and unless you possess special abilities along some other line mother earth is the easiest place for you to secure it from A gentleman long resident in price a close observer of men aad conditions conditions informed a representative tho other jay tty that there is but a single individual within the radius of a dozen miles of town who produces vegetables for this market his ilis supply is of course f far ar short of the demand and as has been noted above importations of large quantities of the most used vegetables have to be made at great expense this means the sending of money out of our own section which bich should be retained here enste instead of going to provo and other points it should be jingling in your I 1 pocket mr farmer get in and raise vegetables get yourself a little farm build yourself a home start a bank account get married raise a family settle down for life in price and be happy |
