The Glenwood post., 1907-11-16
OPPORTUNITY TO
ADVERTISE aLENwooD.

James b. Young, secretary of the
State Commercial association, arrived
in Glenwood today over the Midland.
Mr.. Young is making tour of the
ness connected with the organization of
which he is an officer. He is in Glen
wood to talk to the business men of
the city; to see what Glenwood wants
the State Commercial association to do
for the city and incidentally to secure
some backing for the work of the as
sociation from Glenwood and Garfield
county.
"There is not the slightest doubt in
the world" said Mr.. Young shortly
after his arrival in the city, "that Col
orado is on the verge of the biggest
kind of boom. / use the word boom
advisedly. Colorado, within the next
year or two, is going to experience the
greatest growth in her history. The
people of the United States are begin
ming to know something about Colo
RADIO and her people; they are begin
ming to know something about the won
derful resources of this great state.
They are beginning to realize that here
in Colorado is the land that they have
been looking for; that here is the state
in which they can make more money on
the amount invested in lands and in
other lines of business than in any 9th
er state in the union today.
"But enough people do not know
about Colorado. The State Commercial
association wants more people to know
about Colorado and about the wonder
full possibilities of the country. There
is only one way in which this can be
done and that is by systematic ex-
ploitation of the state In other words,
ADVERTISE COLORADO if you want
the people to know about the state.
This is the work which the association
is doing.
"Glenwood Springs must benefit by
this work. Glenwood Springs is the
hub of one of the richest districts in
the state. The country around here has
only begun to develop. There is room
for more people and more money here.
The Colorado State Commercial associ-
alton wants to be the means of bring
ing these men and this money to Glen
wood and to Garfield county.
"The exploitation of this Glenwood
country that is being given in the col
umns of your local papers is having
splendid effect. 1t cannot help but
do good. But we believe that the peo
Pile of this section of the state should
join hands in this greater state move
ment which has for its motto "A bigger
and better Colorado and I am here
in Glenwood to ask the business inter
ests of this city and the county to as
sist in the work.
From Mr.. Young was learned some
thing of the magnitude of the work
which his association is doing in the
work of upbuilding Colorado. During
the past few months the a sociation
has had in the big state fairs of the
middle West, Iowa, Nebraska, Indiana,
Illinois, and Missouri, a carload of Col
orado exhibits. These products of the
soil of Colorado were viewed by not less
han 100000 farmers, and big per
centage of them become very much in
terested in the state which could show
such magnificent exhibition of grain,
fruit, roots. melons, etc. The results
of this work alone can hardly be esti-
mated and are already being felt in
the number of people who are seeking to
know more about the state and the op-
portunitics of putting their money into
Colorado lands. Through the columns
of the big papers in the East and by
iudiciously placed advertising matter,
the association is seeking to show the
people of the country that Colorado is
the promised land insofar as they are
concerned A big work in bringing
new business enterprises to the state is
also being done.
Mr.. Young is stopping at the Glen
wood hotel.
