Stagnation Prosperity Which ? 1 Pukekohe's prosperity and progress depends upon the farming community, absolutely. m « We have no manufactures, no industries. Therefore we are entirely dependent upon our Commerce. * As a commercial community it is our duty to most carefully consider the convenience of those upon whom our Commercial prosperity depends. 1 It has been the custom from time immemorablo for the farming community to do their shopping on Baturday for the reason that this day is the most convenient for them and ia 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 askeen 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. n 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 y.>ur business; we are busy having a holiday. You farmers are here for our convenience. You will have to come round and spend your cash when it is convenient to us. * We assert that this autocratic 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 be 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 the few. « Electors! Carefully consider this half-holiday question on its merits and vote as your commonsense dictates. Remember that the aim of everyone should be ™o«w« 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.
