This committee is
made up of the men who
sit around an excava
tion for a new building,
whittle pine sticks, spit
tobacco juice on the
fresh dirt and watch the
other fellows work.
It’s ail right to show
interest in new build
ings, in town develop
ment and progress, but
there’s a better way.
You can do more
good for yourself and
the community by re
signing from “The Citi
zens’ Committee” and
getting into the General
Progress Committee.
This committee is
the one that PUTS UP
THE NEW BUILDINGS,
brings new business into
town to occupy them,
paints the old houses, keeps the sidewalks in good repair,
beautifies the front yards, cleans up the back yards and
otherwise makes this town a better town to live in.
The General Progress Committee is the Unofficial
Town Booming Committee. It really ought to be organ
ized and made official. Let all of us work together for
the advancement of the town we live in, and there will be
more room around new excavations for the fellows at
work to throw out the dirt.
Eternal industry is the price of progress.
Let’s all fall in line for the General Progress Commit
tee—and then
