What California Business Men Say Of
the Republican.

The merchants of southern California
have learned in the course of the last
five years the best way to reach the
Arizona trade. 1t was five years ago
that The Republican called the atten
ton of the merchants. hotel men and
business men generally to the fact that
there was no other way in which 50
many of the people of this territory
who have money to spend might be
rea ched. The business of this paper
with California advertisers has sinca
then steadily grown until it is now a.
high water mark.
All of those advertisers who were in
duced in the beginning to address the
people Of Arizona through these col
umns are doing so yet. and each year
has witnessed the addition of many
new names to the list of California ad-
vertisers. 1t may be added that the
list includes the best.
Year by year the railroad companies
have been increasing the facilities for
travel to the coast until now the tour
ist trade has become one of the chief
sources of income for the railroads, and
at the same time they throw into
southern California an important ele-
ment of commercial prosperity. perhaps
the greatest element of all during the
summer tourist season.
;, This will be an unusually prosperous
year in this territory with the ex-
traordinary mining. agricultural anG
cattle growing prospects. This will
naturally increase the tide of travel
and the benefits to the merchants Of
Los Angeles. San Diego and all poinls
frequented by Arizona visitors.
Those merchants who have made q
study of their opportunities now be-
lieve that they can become acquainted
with more prospective tourists through
the medium of The Republican than
they could by the aid of any five other
publica tons. Many of them have testi-
fled to that belief, and below are print
ed several of such voluntary and I'M
solicited testimonials:
