States, that is getting greater amount
Of publicity and attention than LewiS-
ton." is the statement Of Howard Nor
ton. who arrived yesterday from New
York city
This statement coming from Mr.
Morton is made from actual Observance
and experience, not from a motive OF
boom or compliment to the section he
Is visiting. Representing there a. he
does the firm of w. p. Hurlbut & Co.,
and making It business az he does to
keep in the closest touch with the
money market Of New York. and to
know what is of interest to the men
with money, he can make an accurate
estimate OF the condition.
Mr.. Morton states that the rapid In
crease In the interest in Lewiston and
her surrounding country Ia marvellous
He makes this observation from the
which he is a part.
The firm OF w. p. Hurlbut & Co. In
New York il maintained for the pur-
pose OF advertising Lewiston and her
resources. and OF interesting the money
OF New York In their large projects
here. Mr.. Morton states that he can
notice a very marked increase in the
interest since even three months ago.
1.-The condition In New York." he
said.. when seen by Teller represent
tative. "is very peculiar. There II un-
limited money there and the people are
really looking for good investments.
The people have been duped 90 often.
however. by western schemes that they
are at first a little bit timid about taxi
ing up with anything that comes from
the west.
"In Lewiston and her country. how.
ever, a general confidence II being 81.
tablished. The people Of New York
who are watching the progress OF the
nation seem to have arrived at the con-
clusiOn that Lewiston has a great fu-
ture. and that their money II absOlute-
ly safe II spent in Lewiston projects.
Since we have been In business In
New York we have succeeded in inter.
esting some OF the wealthiest men OF
the nation In Idaho. Many OF them
have put in their money and ! have
been personally assured by several OF
them that they viii pay visit to Lew
iston in the spring.
Not only do we find this interest
among the men VINO nave large WedItu
and are ready to spend It to build up
communities. but we find 1t among .
class Of people who are looking for .
home, and comfortable place to live.
Our flrm spends $1,000 per month
and some times more In advertising
Idaho. We have ads in all Of the New
York papers. and IN some Of the lead
ing magazines 1t is surprising how
many people come into the office and
tell US they have from $4,000 to $15,-
900 to invest and ask us what they
can accomplish with that amount or
money in the west. We are we'll equip
ped there with statistics and general
information concerning the country.
We can tell a man almost anything he
wants to know about 1t. and we have
maps and pictures showing the various
Industries.
MY principal object in making this
visit is to become more familiar with
the country myself. l find that l am
scarcely equipped to supply the de-
tailed information their interest de-
mands and wish to know more about
II myself was In Lewiston about II
wears ago. but 1t has changed ana
grown beyond even what had been led
to believe
Mr.. Morton will be Lewiston visitor
for some time.
