Show f "RECORD" HAS 'EM ,j ALL BEAT SAYS DR. A. N. LEONARD t "For Up-to-the-Minute News, Class and Style" Cedar's Paper Has t No Peer, Dr. States. In publishing the following splendid splen-did compliment from Dr. A. N. Leonard, Leon-ard, a former resident of this city, who is now specializing in eye, car, nose and throat diseases at Salt Lake City, being a business partner of Dr. Stookey, another well-known specialist, special-ist, the publisher feels that we are perhaps laying ourself liable to a charge of egotism. Of course, the claim is not justified, but we appreciate appre-ciate the Doctor's words of appreciation apprecia-tion and encouragement just the same. And he ought to be in a fair position to know what he is talking about. But ' his judgment 13 nodoubt biased, to some extent. f We are publishing the" letter in or- ik der that some of our local business ' ' men, who arc inclined to look upon The Record as a matter of course t a sort? of necessary evil or a trouble some parasite may note that people V with a broader insight into human af- l fairs and conditions elsewhere, recog- I nize that in The Record the people ; have something worth while and not f ' fully appreciated. jf It is merely another example of the, old Scriptural nddagc that "A proph-; proph-; et is not without honor save in his I v ' own country," etc. . k- Here is Dr. Leonard's appreciation: " - , ,' f Salt Lake City, Utah, April 1, 1920. t C. S. Wilkinson, Cedar City, Utah, r Salt Lake City. Please stop that , splendid little newsy paper from go-i ing longer to New York and have it1 come to Salt Lake City again, 4th " Floor Templeton Bldg. I J" Now, Charley, you know I am not given to handing out bouquets where t they nrc not deserved. And I am go-( ing to say to you, that you are put-, ting out the best country papor in the west, or east or any other place., I had a chance- to compare the Iron i County Record with dozens of other sheets coming into the Post Graduate School to the doctors and it was gen-, -- erally conceded that Leonard's homo f paper had them all beat for up-to-thc-, minute news, class and style. Some-' times you know wo have to get away i from home to learn to appreciate' I what we have right at our own door- f ' steps. Please do not consider this as' I a pjece of "Bachelor of Science" for you arc entitled to it all and more, t If I were asked to name one single f thing that was doing the most for the development of Cedar City and South-, j em Utah, my answer would be The . Iron County Record. Will settle the damage bill for the paper being sent to New York when I reach Cedar. t I feel that I had a very successful r trip. Besides completing somo ex-' 1 ' cellent courses in my special line, I ,. had a chance to study the eastern people at close range and find out just what their characteristics are. For , instance. Boston measures you up by what college degree you can produce, i Philndelphin, "Who are your ancestors?" ances-tors?" New York, "How much money have you?" and in the West. "Arc you I honest, will you go 50-GO?" Me for the West. Old Broadway, when lit up seems like "Paradise regained" and soon holds you in a "spell" and has a "puU" that is hard to throw off. But when I you finally regain your equalibrum, vou begin asking "Where does the West begin?" Hope to see you about the middle of April. Will send announcement to the Record later, t4E, Your friend, . p" DR. LEONARD. |
