Boost Bureau
Issues Warning
According to the views of the
Big Boost Bureau, we'believe that
the following'is a very wise idea,
and would suggest that when one
turns m6ney loose to be sure that
it will do as intended.
Don't waste your money.
With the formation of com
mercial bodies and prospect of a
boom in sight, this district is sure
to be overrun by Joards of suave
gentlemen oferiug plausible publi
city schemes and bonus proposi
tions galore.
Some of them will, have of
greater or lesser merit but most of
them will have no other merit than
that of plausibility. Those with
the least chanr of efectiveness
