Building a Home the Big hing in Life.
We are living in the greatest age in the world's history. More
gre at discoveries in science add invention have been brought to light
witiidn the past one hundred years than all down the centuries, as
far as we have any record.
People have watched acorns fall to the ground for ages, but it
took a Sir Isaac Newtton in the sixteenth century to discover the
Law of Gravitation, which not only accounts for the acorns falling,
but this same law keeps the galaxy of worlds and planets in their
respective orbits aid is the invisible chord that holds the whole
univers etogether.
Electricity has been manifest In the world since the first thunder
storm in the Garden of Eden, but It took a Franklin, a Morse, a
Belt and an Edison to discover the law governing electricity and
harness this great power and mak3 it indispensible to modern
civilization.
The birds and fowls of the air have been flitting hither and
thl .her for all time, yet it took the Wirght brothers to perfect a
machine to enable man to rival the birds in the air flights and to
have dominion over the limitless dome which swings in spa:e
above us.
Marconi comes along and 'dlscovecs the law that makes wireless
telegraphy possible and so perfected this great achievement where
by a message can be flung into space and the same caught up by
all stations In tune with the sending sttaion. Thorugh the growth
of the telephone we can talk across the continent and Edison has
not oonly given the world the electric light and power but the talk.
ing machine whereby the human voice can be preserved and re
produced indefinitely.
But with all these marvelous inventions and discoveries which
have proven a blessing to the world, the building of a home is the
greatest achievement yet. There is a great deal of' difference be
t ween a HOUSE axd a HOME. Yea, as much difference as there
is between a prosperous town and a "dead" place in which people
exist. You can buy a house but you cannot buy a home--there are
to many elements of character that go in the making of a real home. _
No one desires to reside in a cemetery; no one wants to locate in
a place where the merchants are always in financial straits. It
takes all tdm people working in harmony for the growth of a town
to make it ALIVE. You can't rob a child of part of its nourish
ment and expect a robust youngster; you can't drain your com
munity of much of its cash by sending it away to foreign concerns
and expect a prosperous body of merchants, the life of any town.
Spend your cash at home for everything possible to purchase at
home, and your merchants will prosper, your town will grow and
with the growth of the town your lands will enhance in value and
everylody will be prosperous.
Many of the great inventions at first were beyond the reach of
the average fellow, but ahve now become household necessities.
Large mercantile establishments at one time were impossible m
the smaller toinms, but have become a fixture now by the incresseml
patt onage by the home people, for as the 'demands of the people
increase tlh live merchant will expand to meet this demand. in
this way tlhe pullic is bene.itted because with hte increased volume
of tsincess naturally comes the snmaier profit, and you are not only
ca.hxled to get wihat you want when you want it from your home
merchant but at a price that is reasonable.
T; ce "iluy-at-Home Policy" is the wise policy.
