Prosperity Town

Description: E-11
Prosperity Town In war or peace, local or national pride should cause every good citizen to work for industrial harmony. The factories and stores of your community are as much community enterprises as its churches and schools. Let a factory close down through foolish agitation, or strife, and many of your fellow citizens are thrown out of jobs. The loss in production of the commodities made in your neighborhood will likewise affect the welfare, comfort or convenience of other fellow Americans in remote or nearby districts. Every time the wage-earners of your town are thrown out of work, the grocer, butcher, shoe dealer, clothier, church and lodge suffer, as well as the immediate dependents of the unemployed. Surely your community faces a serious responsibility in dealing with its factories - a responsibility that goes into the home every day in the year. See to it that your home town industries are not overburdened by unfair laws, political horseplay, unjust or excessive taxation, or wasteful friction. THIS IS THE REAL KEYNOTE OF PROSPERITY TOWN.
