THE SEATTLE STAR 1200 APPLAUD FLAYING OF LOCAL PESSIMISM Matthews and Croson in Vigorous Words Open “Smile and Live” Drive members of hin organtzation—bust news men from every walk of life, who came believing in Seattle's) greatness, Upon them Bickford urged as the first step in a change of front, the purchase of @ rubber stamp, stating Seattle's advantages and prepared | for sale at the meeting, for use on all | envelopes leaving the elty in the malla, The stamp, naming Seattle as “the | wonder city of the Northwest—the New York of the Pacific coast, the healthiest city, East or West, the elty with the greatest natural re sources in the world,” was eagerly bought by practically every person at the meeting. Dr, Matthews, the first speaker tn- troduced, launched Into an attack on persona who say “Business isn't am | wood as last year." He character- ined the statement as a lie, and add- ed that “the man who ts worrying about being busted ts busted now, “TOO MUCH COWARDICE; TOO MUCH WHINING” “There ts too much cowardice in the face of le» about Seattle,” he continued. “We must rise; up and nee to it that the potentiality of this city is told in the press, the maga zines and on the billboards. “We must realize the fact that we aren't dependent on anybody. Every tome a big project in suggested here, We go about whining that we can do it If only the East will help us. “I tell you we have everything the East has, and considerably more.

Come to know our strength, and then une it.” Carl BE. Croson made the potnt that the day had passed when the clergy- men directed the community and also the day when professional men and Intellectuals were leaders, and declar. ed that in @ very short time business men had become the prophets of the world. “Lt demané, therefore,” he cried, “that you business men lead aright— that you think constructive thoughts, speak constructive words and biaze the way for genuine achievement. In view of the responsibility you have neither the right to growl nor the facts to substantiate you tn growling. “Facta—that is the keyword to Se attle’s prosperity. Get them—they are all on the side of confidence and growth. Get them and be sure you tell them. And If anybody makes « peastmistic statement, demand that he bring facts to prove ft. The pessi- miam will dwindle to nothingness.” Croson insisted that the “dollar producer” should do more to acquaint the “dollar earner” with the facts concerning production, and closed with a convincing appeal for confi dence in everything that pertains to Seattle Knockers at Home Our Worst Drawback “All that Seattle needs is apprecia- tion.” That is the message brought here by Dr. W. E. Waldo, president of the American Osteopathic associa- tion, who has been in every state in the Union except Florida and found, he said, that Seattle's only drawback in ite knockers at home. Dr. Waldo spoke before the pub- Ucity bureau of the Chamber of Commerce at the Bon Marche tea rooms Monday afternoon. “I am convinced,” he said, “that some Seattle people themselves have been the largest contributors to er roneous beliefs held in other parts concerning Seattle's alleged depres. sion. “Other cities have thetr troubles and they keep them to themselves. Seattle has its advantages and it should tell them to the world.” eee Nothing Ahead Here Except Prosperity “Seattle has two-thirds of the world's population directly in front of her starving to be shown how to live and spend and consume.” Thus Hester FE. Hosford, speaking at the Press Club auditorium under the nuspices of the City Federation of Women's clubs Monday night, re- minded her audience that Seattle has nothing except prosperity ahead. “You need to understand Seattle |!" opportunities,” she urged, “and sell the city to yourselves instead of sell- | to ing {t out. will speak on “Internal Problems of “There is enough here to be confi. | th dent and optimistic about, God place Friday. rae FREDERICK & NELSON FIFTH AVENUE AND PINE STREET, 7,500 Cakes of “Sweetheart’’ Toilet Soap Special, the Cake DOWASTAIRS STOR 5c WEDNESDAY feature in the Downstairs Store—this delicatel: y-scented, free-lathering Soap for toilet, bath and nursery, at a special Convenient-size, oval each cake in carton, cakes, as pictured, , special 5¢ cake. —THE DOWNSTAIRS STORE Women’s Chiffon Wool Sweaters $4.95 IGHT weight and sheer enough to suggest the / lingerie blouse underneath, but warm enough for Spring, nevertheless.
