Our busi, nese men are hustlers, to a man; in fact, Blyth is so busy and thrifty that it is not sighing for anything in particular. e It wants • a couple more factories, more • railway facilities, but is not in a flutter r about them. If you are a pretty good • person, and have money enough to buy k, a farm, or build a house in town, have e somewhat of an education, and the taste and habits of respectable society, ft - and in addition, if you are looking for 11 a good place to live and do your whole e duty as a citizen, then come to Blyth. w Come in the summer, when sunshine e gilds the dawn and glorifies the sunset; t- when forest and field pulsate with life, o and drown the eye with color; when field and stream, and hill and valley woo to rest and satisfy your soul. kCome in winter, when nature's rich r provision fortifies for cold, when hearth- stone glows with cheerfulness the soft- - est days of springtime ever brought. Be assured that you will be rewarded in every way. The men and women d about you will prove companions; the e health that fills the atmosphere will crown you with contentment; the busi- - nese appointments in country and o town will bring you an income, and a thoroughly live town, active in all good e works, will receive one of its kind.
