OPEN LETTER TO THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION AND TOTHE CITIZENS OF NARBERTH

Do you know that Merion will have a new STATION andPOST OFFICE, which were secured through the efforts of t heMerion Civic Association? They a re get ti ng the ir improvements because they have done more t han t al k about them.They have worked for t hem, and worked hard.What will the Narberth Civic Association, and others whoare interested in the much-needed improvements, do to helpth e good work along in getting us a new STATION and POSTOFFICE?There is no doubt bu t that we can ge t both o f the se improvements. Look how we secured the EXPRESS SERVICE.Now we are going to get t he new STATION and the POSTOFFICE, bu t not w ithout working for them.Who said that th e Civic Association was dead, and thatth e citizens of t he "YEAR 'ROUND HOME TOWN" were indifferent?Altogether! Do we want th e new STATION and thePOST OFFICE? Yes! Now the first thing i n o rder is theNarberth Civic Association to get busy, fol lowed up by th esupport of its citizens.
