BUILDING TOWNS There Is a lot of truth in the following from the Columbia City Post, and it will apply to other cities than the capital of Whitley county: “Nothing is sure —except death and taxes. Thirty years ago there were a dozen towns in northern Indiana that ranked in size and importance with Columbia City. Today ten o" them have run away from Columbia City and the other two are poorer towns than Columbia City is. There's a reason. The towns that have moved forward had men in them who were) not afraid to risk a dollar or venture out of the beaten path. They may have lost in some of their ventures;! in fact we know that they did lose, > but they did not sit down and cry | about it again, and as a result thev “Never again!” They buckled up and wen at it again, and as a result they' are. some of them, four times as bis : as Columbia City; some of them three time* as big; some of them two times as big and some of them one and a : half times as big. There is a risk to run ih putting money into an enterprise or undertaking, but if nothing is ] ventured nothing is gained. A* a rule any well managed undertaking w’ll ■win. As a rule any factory will succeed. If the product can be turned out and sold at a profit. That is all there is to it. But it must be well managed to do this, and it is usually the fault of the stockholders if a business is not well managed. So when any enterprise comes along seeking aid, whv not give it encouragement, financial und personal. How would it do tor the business men of this city to make a shift in policy and see if they can not start something that will help io build up the town, give employment to those seeking it and offer inducements to others to come and live hen ?“ to keep up courage,” when we say that the dt'niot'Fiits will win in th to* coun y this year by Z.Oto. And this from the men who heard the progressive whistle, "Onward. Christian Soldier.” as they passed the “Vine Clad Cottage ” Some whiistlers. yourselves!
