Show THE TOWN IS THE CENTER ! The modern town is not only the trading center of the community, j but it is the social, educational and religious center as well. Just how far this town will advance or go : back in the scale of a town's growth : depends altogether upon the people' of that particular city or town. Each , town is a community center. If the people, of the center of things are alive to the possibilities of the com-: com-: munlty, it will advance; if not, there is nothing .under the sun. that will keep the town alive. Another and more progressive town will spring up and with more rapid methods of today's travel almost any distance is made short in comparison with that of yesterday. There is greater j need of civic pride and civic effort j today, than ever before. ' No town i however well entrenched, is Immune j to the constant reaching out of oth- er cities and towns after the trade : and the progressive spirit and ele-' ele-' ment. It is in keeping with the mod ; ern idea to be ever vigilant. -"Keep your lamps trimmed and burning." wot ror even a moment allow an opportunity op-portunity that will advance the welfare wel-fare of your home town to escape jyou. "If it's a good thing we have it," cannot, be beaten as a commun-j commun-j ity slo gan. This applies to the mer- chandising and the civic appeals of ' the town as well. The town that : draws and secures the trade of all j the people of the Community is assured as-sured success. |
