To Boom New England

The success of the Scenery Exhibit of the
| State of New Hampshire at the Worlds
! Fair, in attracting attention to that States
| Summer Resorts, suggested the idea that
| the establishment of similar exhibit in
New York City, covering all New England
states, would be most et1icacious method
of advertising to the best advantage the
Summer Resort Industry of this section,
and, if coupled to 1t, there is comprehen.
Sive Bureau OF Information, the whole will
be most powerful agency for influencing
summer resorts. The plan of this Office, as
discussed, provides for the sale of railroad
tickets to any point in New England, and
the dissemination of all kinds respecting
Summer Resorts. Railroad Folders, Time
Tables, Excursion Books, and advertising
matter of all description is to be kept there
for distribution. Hotel circulars, diagrams
and any other advertising matter will also
be distributed, and each hotel or boarding
house, becoming a subscriber will be enti-
tied to publish on all its advertising matter
"Member of the New England Summer
Resort Association" with the address of
the New York Office Besides the novelty
of the proposed Scenery Exhibit, which is
expected to draw the attention OF th0uS-
andS daily, it is also intended to advertise
the Office literally in the newspapers,
through the various advertising channels
of the railroads, and by other methods.
Within the Office there will be for dStribu-
ton general list of all the subscribing hO-
tells and boarding houses, and these will be
furnished by the Association. In addition
provision will probably be made so that
each hotel or boarding house may have dis
played, in good position, a photograph,
furnished by 1t, of the house or some
picturesque locality near it. Other Oppor-
tunitieS for picturesque displays Will De
afforded the railroad companies, hotels,
boarding houses and cities, towns and VII
lagos.
1t is intended that in this Office every ia
cility possible shall be afforded those who
want information concerning New Eng
land Summer Resorts, and every means
practicable taken to attract the attention OF
people to this section. No fayOritlSm Will
be shown any particular locality, and no
one connected with the office will be per
mitted to conduct any part of the business
other than with the utmost Importantly.
Courteous attention will be extended to all,
and the seeker for information respecting
small boarding places will be shown as
much attention as the one inqulrlng about
the largest establishments. The aim, pur-
pose and whole object of this Association is
to "BOOm New England" and in the CON
temptation of the promoters and those who |
are associated with them, that means the
extension of the Summer Resort industry |
in every direction with its accompanying |
benefits to all other business interests; TO |
Agriculture, and to the value OF Real
Estate.
