In avoiding the experiences of a
number of neighboring towns, wherein
enormous enterprises were promoted,
partially completed and then collapsed, the Clare Chamber of Commerce is displaying much wisdom. A
dozen "infant" industries, modestly
capitalized but backed by merit and
honest ownership are worth far more
to the community than one monster
enterprise which starts with a mahogany finished office and a vault full of
unsold stock. Tall smokestacks are
imposing to look upon, but smokeless
they are of no value to the bread winners.
