STATES COUNTIES
KNOWN IN EAST

Forty-four of the fifty seven Califor-
MIA counties are represented In the
newspaper files of the Eastern bureau
of the California Promotion Committee,
in New Yo rir.t and according to advices
received from there these files are in
constant Use by Californians.
1t is nc tod in this connection that
many strangers to California are also
frequent readers of these newspapers,
and many of them get their impress
sion of the various counties by the
character Of the papers on the files.
In nearly every instance where a
county has its papers on file the visitor
asks for further literature on that
county, and if it happen that there be
none other literature is taken instead.
All the newspapers in California
have been requested to send a copy
of their paper to the Eastern bureau
of the committee. and all counties have
been asked for literature.
Mechanics of all classes are con-
slant readers of these files, most of
them being interested in the want and
advertising columns. as they show con-
ditions better than the articles that are
printed about the counties from which
the papers come. In many instances
these papers have been the direct
means of inducing desirable people to
move to California.
In connection with the newspaper
work of the Eastern bureau much beH-
eft has come of the prompt publica-
ton of matters relating to conditions
in California such as the adoption Of
amendment 13 This fact. was wired
to the Eastern bureau from the home
office as soon as the returns were COM
plete enough to show that 1t had been
carried The New York newspapers
had been fully advised as to the sig

it means TO investors, and the result
was that ALI the papers had articles
on the adoption. with comments en-

recalled, however. that this piano has
made a wonderful record ever since its
introduction, and that it has been in
variably selected in competition with
every other high grade make in schools,
colleges, musical Conservatives and
other educational institutions. We are
assured by the manufacturers that the
high character of this piano will not
