ADVERTISE THE CITY.

The benefits to be derived from a
city or town advertising its adyan.
tages as location for the establish
of manufacturing concerns employing
small or large numbers of working
people cannot be overestimated. IL a
merchant can sell his goods by adver-
Using, and Of course he can, there is
no reason why city or town or even
a wilderness cannot attract people and
factories to it by judcious advertis-
ing of its special advantages, says a
trade journal.
Many cities throughout the country
are now engaged in advertising their
peculiar advantages by means Of books,
pamphlets and circulars ana even by
newspaper advertising.
The business men Of Fort Wayne,
Ind, are following this plan with re-
markaOle success Recognizing that
