Show Progress, Just a Word A SERIES. NO. FIVE It Is the rule now-a-days that but one side of a sheet is used for correspondence. cor-respondence. It Is a little thing, but so far as Cache Valley correspondence corres-pondence Is concerned why should not the other side contain a great deal of matter descriptive of the valley? Thousands of letters go yearly from business men In Logan and the various settlements to manufacturing and wholesale llrms at a distance. It Is not beyond the possible, It Is even more than probable, that some of these concerns, con-cerns, always looking for an opening, somo place to Invest money profitably, prof-itably, may look with favor upon your representations of Cache Valley's Val-ley's possibilities. That's a very llttlo thing, Isn't It, and it wouldn't cost very much cither. Don't you think It worth the while? Llttlo things do a great work sometimes. Remember the small boy who put his arm in tho small hole In tho great dyke and thus saved a great washout, the loss of many lives and much property. That was a llttlo boy and tho act a little thing, but consider tho great good accomplished. Keal Dow, although a man of force, was apparently absolutely inslg-nlflcent inslg-nlflcent In comparison with the great liquor Interests ho undertook to put out In the State of Maine. That state was what might be called the most llquorlzcd stato In the Union In tho year Mi", and his efforts were laughed at. However, In six years, 1M1, Maine succumbed to Neal Dow and has been a prohibition state ever since. But few saloons sa-loons are open In that stato today. Neal Dow was but one man, but consider the work he did. The application may bo far fetched, but no honest, slncero ellort Is going to fall of reward. Advcrtlso Cache's rcsouices and Cacho will profit by It. Many llrms In enterprising towns now have printed at their own expense a two-page sheet containing Information of their locality, and ono of these they slip In every business letter. Docs It pay? Thousands of llrms and many cities will testify that It does. SupIi enterprise of this on tho p.irtof Individual (Urns attracts favorable fa-vorable attention to themselves, also. Tho big llrms note It, appreciate appreci-ate It, arid It places tho llrm In better standing. Dpn't you think you could alford 16 push iourself and the valley a llttlo'. Don't send out .,a business letter without something theroln descriptive of Cacho Valley's possibilities. Men of this city who arc engaged in H the monetary affairs of the country, M state that thousands of dollars have H been used In foreign Investments, and H In somo Instances men havo mortgaged their farms and homes for this pur- pose. The latter part of this pioposi- H lion Is wrong. If the enterprise In- H vested in falls, tho Investor docs not H only suffer a loss himself, but brings H trouble upon those who arc dependent H upon him for support. It is next to H Insanity for a man to mortgage the H home over tho heads of his little ones H to make Investments of this kind. We have nothing to say against legl- tlmato Investments where men can H spare means to so invest, as wo may make them ourselves and therefore dtslrc not to bo mlsundcrstoad on this ) point,but when men raise families each member thereof has a claim on his protection by way of a homo at least, and this suould not be jeopardized for purposes as above mentioned. o |
