Growth Continues

Growth Continues. This has been a good year for growth in th< Walk- i ton and North Liberty ar-a. a.i. n that the ec uimny can t be too bad or it wouldn t continue. The continuing growth is realized by work now started and other work that will be undei way , shortly.

Whenever such a boom as this is seen, things can’t be too bad in the area. This area has be- n known to fluctuate greatly depending on the South Bend business. When Studebaker was the largest source of employment for this area, money was plentiful when they were working good, and scarce when the lay-offs were in effect. Studebaker pulled out of South Bend, certainly raising concern for this area, but South Bend and our local area has bounced back very well. In fact, finding good help is almost an impossibility as the men who want to work are working. Those that don't care still make up the very small percentage of the unemployment we have. Sucn growth and improvement will be a big help in this area if more industry is to show interest in locating here.” Additional industry adds jobs and this brings people to the area which in turn, .raises the economy of the area. The hope for continual growth is bright even though some expect to see equipment in putting up buildings every time it is mentioned. Our two towns are always on the lookout for additional business and you, the citizens of the area, can help by being justly proud of your home towns and talking them up. You are as much a part of this growth as the businesses who need your support to continue to grow.
