N THE AMERICAN VOCABULARY, a "gadget" is
somethinganything--which performs a. useful func-
tion. Almost every home possesses at least several
gadgets- almost every office, every business house,
every factory. It might be a trick can opener, a sales-
producing advertising item, a striking kind of display
fixture, a labor-saving switch. It might be manufac-
tured of wood, of metal, of paper, or of plastic.
The fact that Americans are a gadget-loving people can
mean a great deal to the, future prosperity of Mason
County. There is no reason why.this area could not
derelop a sizable "gadget industry" an industry which would,provide new
: :einpl0yment opportunities, new purchasing power, new avenues of .trade. For
MiS0n county possesses skilled woodworkers. Certainly
• lason County men and women are as inventive as any
others. The area possesses the raw materials for wooden,
paper and plastic gadgets -- and since so many Mason
County citizens,were employed in airplane plants and ship-
yards during the war, there are now many with skills as
aluminum and sheet metal workers.
The development of a prosperous "gadget industry" would
be a good thing for these men and women in prticular
and a fine thing for the community as a whole.
Of course an idea,for a new sales-worthy gadget is necessary
---biit the idea is only the first step. Someone some
Mason County--and all America--was .founded and built on
the fundamental principle that any man or woman should have
the right to work--should have the rl.ht to start a businessof
his own and to enjoy the fruitp of hl labor. As a result, no
other nation in the whole wold can approach the industrial
might of America. In no other,nation has the standard of living
risen so high for the individual willing to work for St. This
results fro, the American Way. of, Life, and is the pathway to
an even gieater America. Why change it? ....
The sponsors of this series of advertisements devoted to com-
munity betterment are citizens'of this-community. They own
homes here. Their children go to scItool here. They have a deep
sense of responsibility to the individual citizens and to changes
which will affect the community. They are interested in devel-
oping a healthy community ollowing the American Way of
Life, and thus keeping Anerica and Mason County 'strg for
the generations to come.
'indiVidual or group of individuals .must have the initiative andthe perseverance
to buildthis Idea into a going industry. There are investments to be madeinvest-
mentsin time and money. There are risks to be taken, just as there always are
when any business venture is established or expanded.
W , , * ,, ' ,, •
he mdmdual gadgeteer must therefore have something in addition to an idea,
something in addition to ' initiative and ambitiorl and enterprise, He--or she
must have the basic, fundamental freedom which the American way of life has
alwaysassured. Eor if,an individual is to risk time and money andwork to create
a new enterprise, the individual must also have the freedom to build that enter-
'prise I'to make it grow and prosper- and to enjoy the fruits of his efforts if
the venture succeeds.
That freedom is•a part of America's heritage, it is the strong, driving incentive
which made men build our first pioneer indUstries--our railroids, shipping lines,
factories, stores. Because men were given this freedom of
enterprise America became the strongest, most prosperous,
most successful nation in the world.
Yes -- the American w.ay-of doing things has made possiblo
. a better life for every man, woman and child. It has built
beautiful churches, fine schools, great libraries, thriving
cities. And in the future -- with this American ideal of
individual initiative as a guide -- even greater things can
be accomplished. There can be new industries, new factories,
,, , ,,
new communities -- even new gadgets to make a fuller,
more comfortable, more enjoyable life for every citizen in
Mason County'... to add immeasurably to the opportunities
which everyone seeks.
