sired to express himself as favoring ex-

Theo. Menges was the next speaker.
In illustration of the results of advertising
he cited the wide popularity of a couple
of patented nostrums that, perhaps, have
no great worth themselves, but are
universally used because persistently ad-
vertise1. Than a successful excursion
there is no better advertisement. He
knew OF people who had been brought
here by reduced rates who now owned
$50, 900 worth of Cheyenne realty and
whose Instructions to their agents we're to
contribute 1000 to any suitable local en-
terprise. In the hall we're two men who
came TO Cheyenne as excursionists and
who were to advise heir companies to in

in this work, and are satisfied"

During his trip he was affordel.many op-
%portunities to talk Cheyenne and told in

advantages and of the territory's great
natural wealth. The town had been
literally advertised and monied men were
looking this way. They had ash ed about
the boom and he told them it was only a
rapid growth, without initiation of values.
He vas arranging TO send by request sam
pies of native marble TO men who would
establish extensive yards if the stone was
slightly in their eyes Manufacturing
plants are most needed here and these
can be secured by proper effort. Mr..

Auditorium hotel in Chicago equipped
with blotters carrying a terse advertise
ment of Cheyenne, and suggested that
this work be extended.
