SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1SU4
While in Denver the first of this
week, the editor had the pleasure of
meeting Mr. C. if. Speers, general
passenger agent of the Colorado-Mid
land railroad, whom we found to be a
most agreeable, courteous gentleman
and one keenly interested in the town
of Marble and its industries.
When you have been away from
Marble have you ever had this exper
ience: You’re with a friend, say, who
wants to introduce you to everybody
you meet. Your friend will say, ''Mr.
Jones I want you to meet Mr. Smith.”
Mr. Jones has a bored, abstracted
air, as much as to say that he is get
ting an unpleasant duty over with as
soon as possible and will then seize
the first opportunity to get away. Then
your friend, in a casual way, adds:
“Mr. Smith, here, is from Marble.”
Have you ever noticed how Mr. Jones
drops that abstracted, bored air and
becomes keenly interested in you.
With a bright smile he will invariably
ask, ‘‘Why, is that so? From Marble,
eh? And how are things out there now
with the Colorado-Yule company?”
All of which goes to prove how our
own industry is making our town fa
mous.
The Booster is glad to welcome back
to its advertising columns the old, re
liable Denver & Rio Grande railway,
whose familiar face has not been seen
in these columns for more than a year.
Subscribers of The Booster must
have a little patience with us while we
are printing column after column of
what people have said about our spec
ial New Year’s edition. You must re
member, dear reader, that it isn’t ev
ery day that we get a chanee to feel a
bit puffed up. Life for the editor at
Marble is not entirely a bed of roses
and such letters and messages as these
we have been printing for the last cou
ple of weeks are as meat and drink
and bread and honey to us. So, bear
with us, please.
YOUR TOWN.
If you live in a town you should be
lieve in it. If you don’t believe your
own town or city is a little better in
most respects than any of its neigh
bors you should move out. Like other
places, it has advantages that others
have not. and your modesty should
not prevent you from making that fact
known whenever the opportunity pre
sents itself.
At home or abroad whether pursu
ing pleasure or engaged in business,
do not neglect to give those with whom
you come in contact to understand
that you live in a live town populated
by enterprising, wide-awake, go-ahead
people, and one that is advancing in
stead of retrograding.
If you can truthfully speak in com
mendation of the ability of your pro
fessional men, the square dealing
methods of your merchants, the ex
cellence of your mechanics, the super
iority of jrour churches, schools and
public institutions and industry, en
ergy and sobriety of your citizens, let
nothing prevent you from exercising
that privilege. You should learn to
believe, if you do not already, that
we have all these. If there are any
drawbacks it will not be necessary to
mention them. The people and news
papers of competing towns will relieve
you of that task by attending to that
part of it themselves.
StraDgers seeking locations are al
ways greatly influenced in iavor of
any town whose citizens are enthusi
astic in its praise. No city or town
expects to attain prominence over its
rivals unless its inhabitants appreci
ate the excellence and virtues of each
other and will collectively spread
abroad their faith in the present pros
perity and future greatness in their
locality. Talk Is a cheap commodity
but wheu rightly utilized it can be
made effective in many directions and
this is one of them.
A mean looking letterhead has lost
many a dollar for business men. If a
man is to be judged by the coat he
wears he is also to be judged by the
letterheads lie uses. An artistic and
business like letterhead has frequent
