HOnE FOR THE HARVEST
H. I. Latham Back From His Seed.
 Sowing Vacation.

H. l. Latham returned yesterday morning from an extended tour over the middle west between Chicago and Denver. The trip constituted his sum- mer outing and he made it a point to enjoy himself every minute even though a good part of the time was devoted to work. The work was in the nature of seed sowing. hot wild oats by the way. but advertising Arizona, and 1t did not interfere with the proper en- joyment of d vacation.
 MT. Latham went first to Denver for q short stay and from there to Omaha, where he visited his boys. Then he went to Chicago and back again through Iowa and Wisconsin and north into Minnesota. visiting Duluth. St. ' Paul and Minneapolis and several smaller places.
 In all of these cities he met many prominent men, all of whom had dis | covered that Phoenix was on the map and many of whom had become more or less interested in this valley through | the advertising it has received. MT. Latham thinks that there will be some thing doing here and that in the inn , mediate future, for when everybody is , talking about a town somebody is go ! ing to come and see it. He thinks the | tourist travel this winter, and that in- cludes investing tourists as well as health seekers, will exceed any pre- vious season, and from present con- ditions it is altogether likely that many who come will bring along a little money for investment. for there is now | something 10 show and something worth while talking about
 l c;, I, l MT Latham did during his trip was tC the best channels of 10000 folders that he had printed previous to going away and which have thus far been kept 1T the dark at home for the reason that they were prepared mainly for circuld- tion in the east and then, too, the ad- vertising season had not arrived al home. He still has some of them lef' and is now willing to give them ou1 locally to any who may call. This folder has ten pages, will just fit an en- VelOpe, and is probably the best anC most comprehensive small production that has ever been turned out for thi advertising of this valley. The folder does not enter largely into details mol the giving of affidavits to prove state ments. though that could be done il necessary. Its purpose is to name ov2l in general way the natural advan taSes of this town, county and territory together with the advantages that have followed settlement and development O industrial enterprises. Using this foldel as an index to the situation any pros pective resident may ask for furthe' light on the things that interest him Over a page of the folder is devoted to Arizona. the treasure territory, an other page to Maricopa county and tw' pages and half to Phoenix. On tn. other pages is condensed information under the following captions: 'Irriga tior and Water Storage" Horticulture and Agriculture 'Climate From Health Standpoint" and TO Pas | Away the Time" The latter subjec relates of course to sports and touris employments. On the front page of tn
 folder is q picture of the Capitol build ing and on the inside is a picture O
 the Hotel Adams.
 The folder is one that is bound |
 bring in business not only for Nil
 Latham, but for every firm in the cit.
 that deals by correspondence witt
 those whose eyes are turned west
 ward. and the whole town will partici
 pate in whatever good results iron
 b Inging good people into a~good coun
 try. MT. Latham of course published the folder as d business move and t'
 benefit himself. but he recognizes tha his prosperity depends on the prosperit.
 of the whole valley. and aside from hi caid there is nothing about it pertain
 ing to his own business. It is goo'
 thing for Mir. Latham and ii will be l good thing for the town.
