To the man who lives in thls city
and does business here. ard Whose
past. present and fnture are Identified
with il. Annapolis IS the absorbing
aud dominant proposition % his life.
and it is not easy for him fo eorcwiv5
that all the word and the rest %
mankind are not a. fully informed
and as equally impressed with fhs
city's opportunities. resources and
achievements as he Is.
\ little Investigation would make
some astounding and moEtify ing dis
closures 10 such a man. lie wouid
discover. Tor instance. a. we have.
that there are business men IN the
nearest cities who have the yaGuest
aud most erroneous ideas about An
napolis. who have no true views -
the population OF this city. the extent
Of its industrial, commercial and
| manufacturing interests, OF ~ the
means BY which the people live and
prosper. OF course. this u nnt true
OF all the people in our nelghb0ring
cities. but il ought not "a ue true %
any 81 them There are just four cures
for this condition:
Ffrst-Publicitv.
Second -Publicity..
Third-Pubiiciiy
Fourth-Public
II the people 81 the nearby cities are
| ignorant Of the great natural aslvan-
tages OF Annapolis. how can we ex-
peet people more remote from Us -
know what facilities we have for
trade. commerce and manufacturers,
and what inducements we arr offer
| ing to investors aud 90 business en-
terprises IL we de not adopt some
means OF making ourselves better
known 10 them? II is for this reason
| that The Evening Capital has in prep
aration n Historical and industrial
Edition which will constitute an ex-
haustive summary of our city's inter
ests.
Many thanks are extended to those
who are cooperating with this pa
per To put Annapolis still higher
along the upper levels Of success
Most people know that il IS the fellow
who keeps eveTlastingly at il that Is the
man who keeps up with the times and
succeeds in business. The penny
wise and pound foolish" merchant
who proceeds along the same line to-
| day as he did some years ago, Is n back
number. lie is surely being distancod
| by his hustling. widc-a-wake compel

people know what he has TO sell.
In every city you will notice that
| the firms who do the most uewspape
| advertising do the most business Ask
your druggist, shoe dealer or any
| other merchant IL IL Is not true that
| Just as soon a an article is stopped
| being advertised, then down goes its
| sale and the article Is soon no longer
| called for and disappears from the
| market altogether.
There are $4,000. 600 Of people IN
these United states. II il very easy
matter for city the size of Annapolis
to become little known 60 the outside
world, unless she spreads herself and
SHOWS her-own horn.' How much
more easy, then, Is IL for a manufac-
turer or merchant To become lost in
this vast multitude unless be makes a
noise and lets the rest know that BE- is
alive and doing business st the old
stand.
Annapolis, through The Evening
Capital, will let her sister cities know
what her people arc doing and what
she looks like. annapolis desires
more sturdy and thrifty settlers and
welcomes such within her borders.
Annapolis desires 70 expand IN trade
and commerce and has no desire e
bc known as a sacred walled city,
or close corporation. That may 10 Al
very we'll for assar or Pekin,. but not
for a twentieth century Progressive
town like this.
