HARLAND BROS., Hardware DEAD TONI VERY SEIpa RECOVERS Community That Is Not Prosper- ous Cannot Attract New Residents. IS LIKE BIC CORPORATION People Are Stocldtelders and When They Spend '!heir Money Away From Home They Deplete Its Capital. There .is no better bread made in ' Ontario than what you get right here in Clinton. The best of ma- • terials are used in the production Laof my bread and pastry. Demand nd get Home-made products. H. BARTLIFF, Baker (Copyright.) There is nothing deader than a dead town. Try' as hard as it may to conceal the facts, the truth is written all over it so that he who runs may read. No camouflage of bluff and bluster can conceal the true situa- tion from anyone who comes within the limits of the community. -,A dead town is dead and that's all there is to it. The worst of it is that once a town dies it stays dead. There have been exceptional cases in which dead towns have been revived, have taken on new life and prospered, but these are merely the exceptions that prove the rule. The fact that a town can seldom "come back" is easily explained. The growing and pr6sperous town to -day is the one that can attract new resi- dents and new capital. It is one that can offer attractive inducements for the location Of new industries. The dead town offers no attraction to out- side capital, A man looking for a place to launch a new business or a new location for an old industry, is not going to pick out a dead town, He is going to select a town in which money is plentiful, a town whose business men are progressive and whose residents, as a . whole, are prosperous and contented. There are too many live and thriving towns in the world for a man to risk his future in one that is dead. This is the rea- son that a town, once dead, almost always remains dead. Town Like Corporation. There is just one thing, ordinarily, that kills a town in the first place and that is a lack of money. A town is just like a corporation and the money possessed by its inhabitants is its capital, If this capital is depleted the town will fait just as the corpor- ation, whose capital is depleted through poor management or other A man never realizes how many causes, •fails.,•�Ancl just as the tor- faults he has until he gets married— s --.then his wife tells him. "'h1'at1on -new= e.wg a =.,.....a tee. so1dom retrieve its lost fortunes, the town which has failed cannot often "come back." The capital of a community is de- pleted when its honey is spent away from home in a way that brings no return benefit to. the community. It takes no groat amount of thought to he able to realize that the town, like the Individual, cannot last long if it is paying out more money than it takes in. That dons not mean that a prospbrous town is one in which the people do not spend any money. On the contrary, a prosperous town is one in which the people do spend money, but it is, one in which they spend the money at dome. As long as the money is spent at home the town gains by having it kept in cir- culation, but when it is spent away from home, either by being sent to the mall order houses or by shop- ping trips to other cities, the town's capital is impaired to that extent and if enough money is spent away from home In that way, the town collapses and virtually goes into bankruptcy just as does the corporation which dissipates its capital. The people of a community are apt to overlook the fact that they are stockholders in their town and that their fortunes are bound up with those of the community as a whole, They do not realize that if their town fails they will tail with it, They—or many of them at least—send their money away to the mail order houses in the great cities, without realizing that they are impairing the capital of their own corporation and that if enough of them pursue that course they will force their corporation into certain bankruptcy. Merchants Not Only Ones Hurt. Many customers of mall order houses say that they are under no obligation to trade with their home merchants and this may be true, They overlook the fact that the business men of a town do much for their community and are entitled, in re- turn for what they do, to the support of the people in the community, but leaving this out of consideration, they overlook the fact that they are bring- ing about their own downfall when they drain their town of its money— its capital. The home merchant will not he the only one that will be hurt when the town "goes broke," The mer- chant can reduce his stock and cut down his expenses, and get along some way or he eau sell -out and move to some ether town which' has not been so blind to its own welfare. It is the great body of the people of the community, including all those who have sent their money away to other cities instead of spending at at home, that suffers most when the hard times dome. The time for all the people to pull together for a live town is „while the town is still live and ,not after it is dead, for when a town dies it is a long time dead—if not forever. Learns His Faults.
