Greater Flint is a monument to the loyalty and public spirit of its citi- zens. There is a unity of purpose and a co-operation existing which has given Flint an almost nation-wide reputation for "team work." The motto, "Each for all and all for each," is typified in the city and county in every- thing pertaining to the advancement of the best interests of the individual and the public.
A more generous, public spirited and loyal citizenship does not obtain in any community anywhere.
Here is a hint : We stand for Flint, From discord ever free. Its people are loyal, good and true, It's the land for me, the home for you. Old Genesee! . Old Genesee!
