to acquaint the outside world With

A wideawake board OF trade was or

printed, on the back OF which the
points Of excellence OF the town were
advertised. These were furnished TO
the business men, with their business
card added, at a merely nominal cost.
The scheme proved very successful and
brought business and desirable rest
