The joint advertising committee of
the various commercial bodies is almost
at standstill in It's work on account of
a lack. of funds. The sum of S1,7Ol has
already been expended in the work, of
which $1,000 was contributed by the
Jobbers' union, $500 by the CONNER
clal club and $500 by the real estate ex-
change. There is now pending in the
assembly a resolution appropriating
500 for the use of the advertising com
mittee, and the prospects of its passage
are not very promising. The committee
at first asked the city fathers to give
$4,000, but is now quite willing to accept
500. 1t will require a tWo-thirds vote
to pass the appropriation, and as
numbered the assemblymen are opposed
to 1t, the chances are that it will be de-
feated.
The work of the advertising commit
tee has-so far been confined to publish
Ing and circulating cards and pamphlets
descriptive and illustrative of the re-
sources and beauties of the city, setting
forth the inducements st. Paul offers
Tor the investment of capital in all
lines. The cards and pamphlets have
nearly all been circulated without postal
expense, having bee sent out by bust
ness firms i'll their letters. The commit
tee has nearly exhausted its supply of
advertising matter, and is now quite
anxious for an appro priation from the
city with which to secure more.
There never was better time for
advertising the city," said H. S. Fair
child, chairman OF the committee. to a
GLOBE reporter yesterday. 1.-The tinan-
clal string ency will most probably be
alleviated within very short time, and
then an immense amount of money that
Is now resting in safety deposit vaults
and other places will seek investment
in real estate and industrial enterprises.
Inere isn't city in this country that
offers better inducements for the in
vestment of capital than st. Paul. This
city is naturally
The Distributing Point
for the trade of the entire great North
west. the development OF which has
just fairly begun. The territory pene-
trated by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Is Immensely rich in every
thlng-eSpeeiaHy in minerals, timber,
and agricultural products-and its de-
veiopment will. necessarily cause it to
become thickly populated. Industries.

of immigrants. There is no reason why.
st. Pau! should not grow and prosper
with the development of the new North
west, of which it is the natural metrop-.
oils. -
1T seems plain enough to me and to
nearly all st. Paul men that this city
has very promising future before it.,
and that there is profitable field here
for all kinds of industrial enterprises.
Investments in St. Paul real estate and.
st. Paul business concerns cannot fail
to return handsome profits within a
very few years. But these inducements
that st. Paul holds out for the invest
ment of capital are not near so apparent
to outside capitalists as they are to our
own citizens. We must advertise them.
We must let the outside world know
what we have here now and what we
have coming in the future. We need
more people, we need more industries
and we need more money. If we let the
world know what we have to offer in ex-
change for all these things. our wants
will be filled. Therefore this advertis-
ing is of the greatest Importance to the
future development and growth of our
