Reviewing 1917
On this, til3 last Saturday in
the old year, it is an excellent
time to review what, the past
ye ic his > *olgh
It has been a prosperous year
in our hnvn, with the building
of f-f ecu miles of Mother Lode
road, 0‘tsr new power plant.,
warehouse rad buildings: then
too, the new A. B. Hall, moving
picture show, post office and
many ? e ulences and business
houses The payrolls of our mines
were never larger, every indust
ry is woViviUg to capacity, there
is wo: everyone at a higher
rate of wag« ,. ud we were never
in i beth r condition to respond
to worta , tppeals than we are
at present.
We are now doubly safe as re
gards fire protection. Two chem
ical engines have been procured
and a nigno watchman stands
on guard.
Never in the history of our
town has there been a year
like this. Funds have been raised
for the Belgian relief fund, for
the building of the A. B. Hall,
and the floating of the mo ving
picture company. The Liberty
Bonds have been generously sub*
scribed to. We have assisted the
Kennecott Red Cross not a little
and also raised over $1000. for
our own chapter, all of which
has been somewhat of a tax on
peoples finances, but which is
% glorious reflection on our
(own and its people.
I
Now while it may seem that
McCarthy has done its part,
which it has, it is oertrin that
we will never fall down when
we are called upon to help any
of those who need our aid.
The year past has seen many
new properties opened up, and
manifested the rich mineral cen
ter which is ours.
Altogether,McCarthy is twice
the town it was a year npo and
s certain to continue to prow if
we all support it as we should
durinp the cominp year.

You surely wouldn’t go to a
blacksmith shop to have an
evening gown made?
Certainly not. Nor would
you go to a dressmaking parlor
t* have a horse shod. Thats
not a bit consistent.
Beware of the Jack of all
trades or unscrupulous person.
Yours for an up to the
minute town,
