A Stranger's Impressions (Taken From the First Issue of j the Roosevelt Standard, Vol. 1 No. 1, August 29, 1914) J The writer is very favorably i impressed by the -unstinted sup-J port given The Standard. Within three days after arriving to take up the work of assembling the advertising matter, to arrange the shop with its multitude or ueiaua, and to gather the news and commentary com-mentary and discriptive matter for the first issue, nearly every business busi-ness man in town, and many from contiguous territory, had been in the office to say hello and wish the paper success. We deeply appreciate ap-preciate this spirit, and our desire , is that we shall be worthy of it. ; It needs no argument to con- j vince anyone that Roosevelt has a great future. There is too much I rich country around it to admit of any other conclusion. Fortunately the town seems to be absolutely united on pushing to the front. We have heard, during our short residence, resi-dence, no "knocking," no manifestation mani-festation of distrust, but, on the contrary, we are convinced that every citizen wants the town to grow and he is willing to do his part We trust that the same unanimity un-animity of purpose will thrive and grow because that is what makes towns grow into cities. A unified town, with a set purpose, will overcome ov-ercome all obstacles.
