Paris and Bourbon County.

history of Paris and Bourbon county.
This history will mean to the city of
Paris and the towns in the county
what the Commercial Clubs do to the
larger cities throughout the United
States. A Commercial Club is an in
stitution formulated by the progress
sive business men of a city to show to
the world at large the manifold ad-
vantages that their city possesses
over all others; it is managed by men
who have business interest in the
city, and whose pride in the future
welfare of their city is SO strong in
their hearts that they they are
willing to take their valuable time
and money from their business, to
further any proposition that is to the
the interest Oftheir city. That is why
the cities are, as rule, and have so
many more advantages in the ways
Of manufactures, etc., than the
smaller towns who have no such or
CARNATIONS. And in what way do
these Commercial Clubs accomplish
all of this good do you ask? By let
ting the public know what you have
to offer as an inducement. And how
do they let it be known? By publicity,
which is mild term for advertising.
This magazine will be printed in book
form, 80 to 40 pages, size 12x18 inches,
and will be printed by one of the lar

this book will be printed in three
colors and will represent the most
approved style of artistic designing
and engraving.
Advertising, This book will be the
means giving publicity to-the en-.
tire town and county, which is of
course advertising, but it will not be
an advertising sheet. We will have
certain amount of advertising set
aside for those progressive merchants
who wish to put their business before
the people of the county is something
that the people are interested in, but
these advertising pages only. We
have selected some of the leading
merchants in the various lines whom
we will write up and Photographic
their building, but they will be only
the leading ones.
