MEN WHO ARE CITY BUILDERS
Leading Exponents of the Spirit of Progress Among the Business Men of
LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA
PIROGR0ESSIVE LAUlENS,
SOUTH. CAROLINA
Paragraphs With Polnts to Them,
From a Reporter's Note Book, While
in the City.
Progress Is a law which must be
respected and followed. It concerns
not only the character but the very
life of a town or community.
Unless there is progress In the
professions, the industires and busI
ness of a town or city it must retro
grade, there Is no middle position, for
when growth ceases decay begins.
Therefore it is necessary either to go
forward or turn to the rear. Lau
rens Is fighting steadily for the suc
cess which is now crowning her ef
forts, and the growth of the city for
the past few years has been morq
marked than at any period in its pre
vious history, cetrainly It -has shown
no signs of decay. Laurens has and
is looking forward and not backward,
toward the goal of still greater
achievements in the future. The old
(lays of Laurens have I)assed away,
the days when she revelled in the
indolent Southern sunshine and
fought her glorious battles over again,
a younger generation has come into
the arena and Is now fighting for su
pretmacy in the field of trade and
commerce. The battle has none of
the horrifying spectacles of the 60's
but is now for homes, education and
employment for all. The men of Lau
rens are of a race now who build
Cetics, make desert places bloom and
I? now not the meaning of the word de
tent, and they know that the slicess
of every htusiness ieatis a step for
vard to what the people are looking
to, a larger city. They all vie with
one another In this and a drone Is
trampled under foot In the march of
progress. The writer takes pride In
the fact that he Is permitted to call
attention to this page of cards, and
nake brief mention of what he has
seen here in Laurens through the
cclunns of The Advertiser, and would
call especial attention to the names
appearing o this page of cards as
be'ng indicative of some of the best
in their several lines of endeavor, for
th y all believe that what is worth
doing at all is worlth doing well, and
tl Is p rin Itciple is followed in all of
their daily transactions. Another
