VIII printers ink bring IN the
Yanks2
In your issue of the 18th "Texan'' says
it will. And there is no question but it
has been and will be a very important
factor, but the source from whence 1t
comes, by whom and where distributed
will have very important influence on
results. Newspapers published in Texas
do not reach the masses in the North.
Pamphlets can only reach the few, eX-
cept as the desire is created for informa-
ton by printers ink, which does reach
them through Northern papers. This
desire leads to inquiry of Texas people
and to the reading of Texas papers and
pamphlets and the seed reaches the proper
soil, terminates and produces fruit.
Put your advertisements in proper form
in the st. Louis Republican and Globe
Democrat for the people in Missouri, IL
linois, Arkansas, Kansas and part of
Iowa; the Des Moines Register and
Leader for Iowa; the Chicago Tribune for
Illinois, Michigan Wisconsin, Mime
sofa; some one or more of the leading
journals at Indianapolis, Cincinnati,
Pittsburg, New York and Boston. Ar
ticles appearing in these journals will be
read by the masses-win be copied INTO
the country papers and thus spread
through the country the wealth offered
to those who cast their lot with Texas
people.
But would go farther. Send an ac-
tive advocate to the state fairs
in the Northern states, not
seedy, blatant fanatic, that will be
taken for patent right peddler or patent
medicine vender. Neither would l send
the emigration agent of railroads; the
railroads will send him; but men who
can engage the attention of that class of
people who attend these fairs, and who
are capable of presenting the advantages
of our state. Supply these men with
such printed matter as will engage the
attention of the wide-awake, progressive
agricultural, stock growing, fruit raising
and manufacturing people who attend
these fairs.
The attention of 100 900 people can be
called to the state of Texas by such an
attendant at the Iowa state fair, more
than twice that number at the
Missouri state fair at st. Louis,
and a very large number at the
Illinois and Indiana state fairs.
7 he attendance these fairs is of that
class of people that we want to interest.
They will be interested if we present our
advantages. These parties carry the in
formation home with them and whole
neighborhoods hear through them of our
advantages. Next during these fairs the
daily journals published at the cities
where the fairs are held issue very large
editions, which are read and carried
through the state and often into other
states The state fair Of Missouri, held
at ST. LOUIS, has very large attendance
from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky,
| Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas and Ne
braska. and opens up very wide field.
The plan present demands the man or
men to represent us, the printers ink
| furnished him or that he shall furnish,
| and the money to pay him and his ex-
penses. l know whereof 1 speak, and if
| this plan is adopted there Is no question
about the result. 1t will bring the wide
awake farmer, fruit and vegetable
| grower, the stockmau with his short
| horns, white-faces and other improved
classes of cattle, good horses, hogs and
sheep, the cannery, the evaporation, the
manufacturer. n. B. MOORE.
