The management should be experienced, ! well trained and highly capable. The | board of directors to be elected by the stockholders, should be composed | of conservative, successful business men of sound judgment who hold the confidence of the community. The Chronicle can’t see if all these essen- 1 tials are carefully and adequately met why such a hotel won’t have as : reasonable a chance to succeed as any other type of business. And while we are not stock brokers, and do not attempt to tell our readers to buy 1 stock in this or any other enterprise —we do have confidence in the pro posal and its possibilities to succeed as a sound investment. Certainly the ‘ prospectus should be studied and all ; information sought from the organi zation personnel before individuals make their decisions, i This is a hard community pull we : are engaged in. Putting the effort ! over successfully will be an impor- . tant contributing factor to building a Greater Clinton in the future. Its outcome will decide whether we are greatest blow we could receive, for to go forward or stand still at the it would strip us of our strength to j cross-roads while other similar sized preserve our way of life.” I towns forge ahead.

Travel today moves, from one good hotel to another. This is a community effort calling for the moral and financial support of ^ our people, especially property owners and business men.

Bus-j sought for the city. iness can’t do the job alone, and the public has no right to expect it. Seeking the Easy Way Bernard Baruch, a native South Carolinian, is one of America’s great est statesmen and outstanding busi ness men* In his thinking and rea soning he is sound, and when he opens his mouth, which is not often, he always has something to say. Recently in a public statement he said, “The world can get going only if men work,” and “If we accept the challenge to preserve civilization, it means’ greater’ effort than has been exerted during the war.” He pointed to the pressing need for maximum production, with no strikes and no layoffs in the future. And then he said, “Unless we work, we shall see a vast inflation. Unless we work, we shall not be able to maintain our claim of power.

To the contrary, it is a business proposition for the growth and betterment of the community. Will a modern hotel pay here?, many ask. We are not qualified to answer. But we believe that it will through a large patronage, and yield a reasonable rate of interest to stock holders. It is not a get-rich-quick in vestment, so let no one fool you. Where can you find an investment that will yield large dividend re turns? The U. S. government says your money is worth two per cent.
