Trade Drive Suggested To Make Sidney Colorado Center
The Sidney chamber of commerce should push Sidney as a trading center for Peetz Territory residents, says A J Jorgenson. He argues Sidney loses trade to Sterling and could gain hundreds of dollars weekly in retail sales with organized promotion and a No Sales Tax angle. Roy Greenlee notes a Colorado business outreach has had little measurable result, despite a potential retail field just south of the border. A public relations meeting with the Peetz community club was proposed. An attempt to spark discussion on pari mutuels at the county fair failed as attendees were unfamiliar with the plan. Continued on page 6, column 2.
