5c PER COPY ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AUGUST 20, 1928, AT THE POSTOFFICE AT TRYON, N. C'. UNDER THE ACT OF CONGRESS, MARCH 3, 1879 THE TRYON DAILY BULLETIN The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper, Seth M. Vining, Editor. Vol. 14. Est. 1-31-28 COMMUNICATIONS Nov 21st, 1941. To the Editor: The Chamber of Commerce is funds ■with which to ad- Jprtise this community and so stimulate its growth in population. I wish to say that a large propor tion of the people of Tryon and the vicinity oppose this program and believe it to be harmful to the best interests of all concerned. Tryon cannot claim that its cli mate and scenery are superior to that of many localities in this part of the country and its reputation is net primarily built upon such a claim. Some fifty years ago a few people of comfortable means and considerable knowledge of the world came here to spend their remaining years in peace and quiet. They did not wish to en gage in business, to make money or to “develop the country”; if “modern conveniences” had been the first importance they would gone to places where these *Kre immediately available.

We believe in giving both sides of every ques tion. Anyone willing to pay the expense can have his say in the Bulletin. In the first paragraph Major Sharp says: “The Chamber of (jymmerce is soliciting funds with which to advertise this community and so stimulate its growth in population.” For this free adver tising we thank him. He says a large proportion of the people of Trven and vicinity oppose this program and believe it to be harmful to the best interests of all concerned. I don’t believe that statement. A large propor tion of the people of Tryon and vicinity are trying to make a liv ing here. As hotel and innkeep ers they want more guests; as storekeepers, doctors, dentists, preachers, and other professional people they want more people, or they couldn’t stay here.
