COOPER AND CURD PUKEKOHE. Stagnation Prosperity Which ? 1 Pukekohe's prosperity and progress depends upon the farming community, absolutely. f We have no manufactures, no industries. Therefore we are entirely dependent upon our Commerce. r As a commercial community it is our duty to most carefully consider the convenience of those upon whom our Commercial prosperity depends. c It has been the custom from time immemorablo for the farming community to do their shopping on Saturday for the reason that this day is the most convenient for them and is least likely to disorganise their own farming pursuits. *[ As a commercial centre—dependent almost entirely upon the farming community—it would naturally be supposed, that we, as ke en business men here for the purpose of doing business, would be only to ready to consider the customs and convenience of the farming community by catering in a reasonable manner for that class on whom we are dependent to a verv great extent for our own prosperity and of course incidentally for the prosperity of Pukekohe and every person that has any interest in the town. * What do we find ? Instead of consulting the convenience of our farmer friends, business people turn round and say—in effect—we don't want your business; we are busy having a holiday. You farmers are here for our convenience. You will have to come round and spend your oash when it is convenient to us. c We assert that this autocratio stand is doing harm to the Commerce of Pukekohe and is likely to seriously prejudice our commercial interests. Perhaps some business folk are rolling in wealth and can afford to bo independent. If they want to mark time it is not reasonable to penalise the progress of this town nor is it fair to expect the many to conform to the extraordinary views of tbe few. * Electors 1 Carefully consider this haf-holiday quest on on its merits and vote as your oommonsense dictates. Remember that the aim of ev. ryone should be Progress and Prosperity, a better and brighter Pukekohe that we may be justly proud of, and finally realise that we must give reasonable consideration to those people on whom Pukekohe's prosperity depends—the farming community.
