Show A Safe Guard to Business Good roads are a safe guard to business. There are many good roads in Sanpete Valley which greatly benefit the people peo-ple in a commercial way. Since the introduction of the automobile automo-bile in Sanpete and the many uses to which it is applied, we find that the buying public is brought into closer touch with the leading merchants and business bus-iness concerns. It is only a matter of a few minutes traveling travel-ing in a fine machine and a customer cus-tomer may be brought from one side of the valley to another. It is not only the necessary article ar-ticle which he desires, but it is a pleasure as well that causes him to take a joy ride to the neighboring town. He does not care which direction he goes just so there are plenty of good roads to travel. The merchants in Mount Pleasant are overlooking the fact that the road between Mt. Pleasant and the West side of the valley is much inferior to other roads in the county. There are more people who travel this road than any other one road and a little improvement improve-ment would aid materially. Many people of the West side, who are prone to go to the larger larg-er towns to do their shopping, sometimes ask their chauffeur where he thinks would be the best place to go. Invariably the answer will be that the roads down south are the best and off they go for the best route to do business in some of the southern towns, while their hearts desire is to come to Mount Pleasant. If the road to the West is kept up like it should be the people on the West side would not go so far South when they might as well trade closer at home. An effort for better j roads between the towns would help business in this end of the valley. |
