The organization of the City Improvement Company of Decatur means the speedy realization of the plans of the past two months to secure a modern tire department and apparatus and a place to house them. It means more, for it proves again that our people are alive, that they do things that keep us up to the times of the twentieth century. Such action is not based on mercenary motives, but shows the unselfish spirit and a desire to make this a better community. We are alive, the town is growing, is improving, is beautifying. If you live here you are fortunate, for the future is bright. If you don't live here, better move in at once. Compared with any town on the map we have them out-classed and we are just commencing to make headway, conservative, keep ever at it headway. EAST BUFFALO. East Buffalo. N.
