tv enhanced by increased population.
In this connection we desire to call
| the work that is being done by the
real estate firm of Cameron & Began
dealers in farm properties. 49, I'm. fas1sssSS
This firm has at the present time
six people steadily employed, four
outside statesmen and two stenograph-
ers and these with two members of
the firm make eight. all of
whom are devoting their entire time
to writing talking and showing up the
many advantages of Mesa county to
homeseekers. Unlike many other
real estate dealers they do more
than merely try to induce people who
come here of their own accord to To-
cate in the Grand Valley, ON the con.
advertising thev have secured half
rates for homeseekers from the princi-
pal railroads of the country privi-
lege not generally extended by rail
road officials to real estae dealers, en-
cept in recognition of judicious,
extensive and effective advertising
Cameron & Began have undoubtedly
expended more money in advertising
Mesa county during the past eight
months than any other real estate firm
that has ever been established in
Grand Junction. Up to date they
have sent out over 40, 900 pamphlets
the weight of which was over one ton
most of which hae been sent through
the mails. The postage alone on this
amount of literature already sent out
amounts to about $3.50.
In addition to this printed matter
they have sent out over 10, 600 mimeo-
graphed letters and more than 5000
dictated letters, making postage on
letters alone over $500. This lit
erature and correspondence has been
sent to every city and town having
over 1000 inhabitants in seventeen
states and territories of the Union
The results they have already obtain
ed is ample proof of the sound bus
mess policy of judicious advertising
Up to the present time they have sold
over $1,000 worth of property and
are now in communication with more
| than 1000 bona tide homseekers.
Their advertising has been the di-
rect means of inducing nearly 100 peo-
pie to visit the Grand Valley during
the season to investigate the agricul-
tural, horticultural and climatic ad-
vantages of the Grand Valley and
most of those who have not already
located expressed their intention of
doing so in the near future.
They now have 10, 900 more pamph-
lets on the press and additional matter
is being daily compiled.
At the end of the year they will
have out not less than 100, 900 pamph-
lets and it goes without saying that
the firm, of Cameron & Began will be
known from the Atlantic to the Paci
tic by the time they are one year il
business,
The ten large sign boards that they
have eretced in Grand Junction anC
ON the principal roads of the valley
are superior to any thing of the kline
ever put up here and it is safe to say
they are equal to the best real estate
signs in the most metropolitan cite:
of the country Their artistic hall
tone letter heads showing three differ
ent kinds of farms, fruit farms ant
hay and grain farms and stocl
ranches and their up to date litera
ture are commented upon by every
person that has seen them.
If we had a few more such enter
prising reale state firms the Crane
Valley would be the best advertised
section of the West, and the benefit.
that would inure to Mesa county
would be incalculable. Such com
endable enterprises should and viii
be encouraged by the intelligent citi
zens of this valley and will serve tt
stimulate our other dealers to great
er activity to bring in homeseeker
by judicious advertising to the Gar
den spot of Colorado.
