WILDWOOD IN new YORK
An Appeal to be made for
New Money and New
People.

COplC.
The fame of Wildwood as a health
and pleasure resort OF the highest char
acter has reached New York, and ii
has been suggested that a campaign
of education through the columns of
its most representative newspapers be
conducted in the interest of Wildwood.
New York, the greatest money CEN
ter in the western hemisphere, with its
enormous population and unlimited
resources, with its millions of thrifty
and industrious home seekers, with its
immense wealth, is the place above all
places where an energetic and consis-
tent campaign would accomplish the
greatest good.
An appeal made direct to the foun-
tain head of the country's financial
system. The New York Tribune, over
whose destinies the shades of Horace
Greeley still linger, and whose policy
is now dictated by the Hon. WhitelaW
Reid, of international reputation, and
whose pages were frequently illumined
by the brilliant pen of the Hon. John
Hay, now Secretary of State, is one of
the papers selected to champion the
cause of Wildwood. The thoughtful
and thinking people of the nation read
the Tribune.
Another paper selected is the New
York Evening Post, the most distinc-
tive high class newspaper in America.
Wall street and its allied interests are
represented by the Evening Post. 1t
is the strongest financial newspaper in
the United States. AS a medium for
reaching new money it is incompara-
BILE. Lawrence Godkin, its former ed
itor, and Horace White, its present
editor, are both men celebrated for
their master minds.
The New York World, the other pa
per selected to convey the message OF
Wildwood's charms to the industrlans
and investors of the great metropolis,
is the peerless organ of the people.
It's able editor, Joseph Pulitzer, is no
ted for his moral and intellectual in
tegrity and tenacity of purpose in
righting pnblic wrongs. The New
York World reaches over two million
readers a week.
These three papers are all distinctive
and each represents a class by Itself:
The thinking, financial and industrial
public of New York are their supper
tiers. No stronger combination exists.
No argument can be presented that
can successfully assail the character of
these papers or show cause why they
should not be utilized. Time and dis
lance is the cry of the pessimist.
Maine and other points Way down
East have been made to prosper
through the patronage of Philadel-
phians and New Workers. Southern
resorts derived their greatest benefit
from the north and Wildwood must
and can secure its share of this patron
age and the time has come when the

prevail in this instance as it has in
every instance where thriving centers
of industry have been made to flour
ish. Courage, the fundamental prin-
ciple of commercial advancement must
be the watchword in the onward
march of progress in the triumphant
invasion of New York.
The above also holds good in Pitts
burg where it has been decided to use
the Pittsburg Press, the paper with the
largest known circulation in western
Pennsylvania. New York and Pitts
burg then and let public spirit pre-
dominate and every heart beat high.
On! Wildwood, On! to new fields to
conquer, to a greater and more brilliant
era of success.
1t should be borne in mind that the
deliberately equipped bureau OF 1nfor-
nation for the distribution OF resort
literature of the papers above designa-
ted are placed Immediately at the dis
posal of Wildwood. The inestimable
advantage to be gained by this service
a hardly be appreciated by any II
who is not familiar with their organ
ization or methods of distribution.
Each paper conducts from three to
five bureaus in convenient sections of
each city where information apper-
tanning to any particular resort can be
obtained at a minutes notice. Infor-
nation data in the form of illustrated
booklets, etc., is furnished by mail if
desired without cost to the applicant,
and the thousands upon thousands OF
inquiries that pour into a bureau dur
ing a season is an astonishing revela-
ton of the public's confidence in bu-
reaus OF this character. This service,
which demands trained corps of SUI
perintendents and assistants with its
enormous expense, is furnished abso-
lutely free to advertisers.
H. IL. Humphreys, who is represen-
ting the interests of the above papers,
can be communicated with at severn
Hall.
