One thing that may be done to make
a town more prosperous is for every
one to get together and pull.
When we do this we have a com
m unity tha is prosperous thruout.
This means that the Chamber of
Commerce, or the Commercial Club, as
as the case may be, have to tell the
world what inducements they can
offer the investing public.
All towns and cities have one par

neighbor, and this one thing, if prop
erly presented may be the entering
wedge that will .bring no small amoun
of business to .the community.
When you think of New York you
think of the harbor. When you think
of Boston you think of baked beans,
and brown bread. When you think of
Los Angeles your mind jumps to the
climate, movies or her phenomenal
growth.
In 1888 this remarkable city had
a lot of fine climate; and a dwindling
population. Today she has a populat
ion of 770,000 and covers the largest
area of any city in the world ( 865 sq.
miles.) How could this remarkable feat
be accomplished, when by all laws o
ecnomics there should only be a small
town?
Press agenting the entire country
has bort this increased population

Thus the city has been put into~minds
of people, and when they travel they
include Los'Angeles in their itinerary

in the city. She forces people to recog
nize her, by keeping people reading of
her oppurtuities, sports, building pro
jects, movies and scandal.
Every town has a civic pride and a
desire to achieve the success that others
have gained, and if they would follow
the lead of these others, they too would
attain prominance,
We will never be a Los Angeles,
BUT, we can tell people of the oppor
tunities we do posess. Our ceneral lo
cation in the district, the possibilities
of the country, and business chances
should all have the publicity they de
serve. If we hammer long enough, and
1 iud enough we will get results.
