The railroads are exercising them-
selves in the way of advertising itot
Springs, and their sforts should be APP.
preciated by the people. To be sure
they are seeking business for them
selves, but they ara doius ,mare than
is customary toward advertising towns
along railroads. They seem to have
taken u deep interest iii liot Springs
and are determined that it shall 10 be
outdone by any other resort if adver-
Using its attract,ons and health-g,ving
virtues wills accomplish tn. purpose.
Aside from the many very beaut'ini
and expensive souvenirs, ILLUSTRATED
pamphlets, guides, and various ingsn-
ious printed matter that is catching
and that railroads know so well how
to get before the people, they have now
commenced running reading notices
concerning the Springs in the ne@s
papers along their lines. they pro
| pose to run a series of excursions to
the Springs. and tie following notice.
taken from an Iowa exchange, is thu
pleasing I'M in which they call al
tention TO their first:
"ExcuRs1oN TO THE BLACK Hills
1.-The first excursion to Hot Springs,
Dakota, and the Black Hills country
will take place in the first week in
June. For $25 a round trip ticket
will be sold from Mo. Valley, good for
sixty days. Persons DESTROYS either of
a holiday trip, or to visit friends, or
for restoration of health, should note
this date and make preparations"
Then in another local item in an
other column of the same paper is
found the following:
"Mr. j. I'll. Gable will attend the ain
nual u. A. r.. reunion at Keokuk. H.
is ALWAYS wide awake in The intere>i
of the Fremont, Elkhorn g. Mo. Valley
road which leads To the Hot Springs
and the Black Hills"
The b. & NJ. is doing the same effect
i've style of advertising, and Mr.. Fran
els. the general passenger agent of
that line, alludcs 10 the Springs in the
elegant literature that he is distribut
ing as "The Only Carlsbad of Ameri
ca" Their work is already bringing
about good results as our hotel regis
tiers show. SO it will be seen that Hot
Springs is receiving favors from the
railroads that not one place in a thous-
and is receiving. They are this yea,
paying out more money to let the
world know of Hot Springs, its attrac'
tions aud its wonderful healing waters
than the entire amount that has beer
paid out by the city. While they arr
5 doing this for their own financial gair
the people of this city are grateful t,
know that The railroads have beer
aroused to the situation, and from thi
time forward will not let Hot Spring
drop below any other resort in pein
of business il their enterprising adver
tising agents can prevent it. In th
meantime every citizen should put hi
shoulder to the wheel and do his share
Mr.. Evans alone has employed a mai
S to be at Chicago during the World
fair to talk for Hot Springs. LIE
r others unite and do something, accord
" ing TO their financial interests, and ge
out advertising matter to be distrib
uted. 1t is a great year to let til
: world know of Hot Springs, whore j
is, and what it is here for.
Aid and encourage the railroad com
panies in their valued, persistent an
successful work.
