The development and general
advancement of any town depends eutirely upon tbe degree ot
co-operation which the citizens
show. It takes a great deal of
boosting to put a town and its
industries on a higher level white
on the other band it takes but a
few knockers to level it to the
dust and end tbat progress in a
very short time which took years
to reach. Bellwood has been
comparatively free of knockers
bet not entirely free of them.
On whioh side are you? Are yon
doing everything you can to
make the town a better place in
whioh to live? Are you helping
your aome industries and bosines
houses? Are you aiding the
town io its forward movement er
are you impeding it progress?
Co-operation on the part of everyone is absolutely neceaaaiy in a
town if it is to continue to grow
and become better no luke warm
or halfway feelings can be entertained. Within tbe past years
Bellwood has been making more
progress than at any other period
in its existence—but is ha* been
accomplished through better co
operation. Wi h complete cooperation we can accomplish
much mors aad that will some
wbea the business places end industries of tbe town sre given
tbe honest recognition tbey deserve. Lets boost tbo town along
at every opportunity.
