people in Concord and the number who
are dependent ujion charity has always
been at a minimum. Tliere is something
in.the very atm<rsphere which seems to
breed a spirit which is the biggest asset
of a community—the interest which the
people take in making it a better city,
a more satisfactory place in -which to
ilive and rear families.
Concord has never had what might he
| called a boom; it has experienced little!
jof the temporary benefits from periods
jof inflation, and therefore has not suf
fered from depression which necessarily
follow. It is a stabilized, steady com
munity.
Ileal estate in desirable residential
sections lias always been on the market
at reasonable prices. The batiks have al
ways been willing to aid the worthy in
dividual in buying his own home, and
no man who has shown a desire to be
independent in this respect has ever fail
ed to secure encouragement and support
financially and morally.
The type of homes in Concord is par
ticularly striking, and many retain the
architectural designs of the last century,
