Show THE TOWN BAND We've been in lots of small towns that H supported brass bands, and we've been in H towns that had tried to and failed. And fl we havd invariably noticed that the town m. with the band is the one in which a great jA sjjjrit of cooperation exists, and whert-JHkeverything whert-JHkeverything in the way of business and so-$!al so-$!al life moves along more pleasantly. !"' Next to a good weekly paper and good tM schools there is no better advertisement ,;or the small town than a good band. By that we mean one in which the citizens are interested to the point that they not only boast of thejband but they willingly contribute a fewdollars each year to its support. For be it known that brass bands, like everything else worth any-(thing, any-(thing, cost money to maintain. The men who are 'willing to sacrifice- their time in eeting in rehearsals, and who are glad to lend a hand in helping out such an organization, or-ganization, should not be expected to also al-so dig in their jeans for money to buy instruments and music and pay a director We, believe if citizens of Logan will think it over a little they will share our opinion that a good band, one that hangs together, and has the support of the whole town, is about as good an ad as they could wish for. We also believe that they will agree that a few dollars from each person throughout the year would be money wisely invested if spent for this purpose. If you are going to spend itanyhow, why not spend it where all your neighbors can get some pleasureout of it, and where the town can come in for a goodly share of outside advertising. |
