The community, like the individual,
wants all the new and modem things

is money return while for others
our reward 'comes indirectly, but
none the less surely. Shelton people
desired a suitable grounds to add to
desird a suitable grounds o add to
the many attractions Of the Olympic
Highway and to induce the passing
tourists to tarry here overnight, and
mayhap, supply their, immediate
needs from our merchants. At any
rate they are welcome to tarry awhile
and pass on with a good word for
