ADVERTISING
 ENTHUSIASM Hell the World About It''
 Say the People Whats the Use of Having the Best Country In the World and Keeping the Fact a Secret.

Do you favor advertising the won derful resources of the Salt River val ley among eastern farmers of good health who have money"
 That is the vital question of the hour, merely another way of para phrasing Young Hamlet's, soliloquy,
 To be or not to be-" It's on every body's lips, or if it isn't it ought to be- Phoenix never does anything un- til she gets enthused and she proposes to do something pretty soon in the way Of advertising. At least the boa:d of trade does and the board of trade IS the commercial main spring of this town. The enthusing is going on right now and by Monday afternoon. the date set for the big mass meet ing at the board room it is expected the air will be full of it. Just to give the general public an idea of how the representative citizens feel about the question of advertising the valley, d little trouble was taken yesterday by Secretary Cowgirl oi the board to in terview a number of them. There was almost universal agreement in the ex- pressions given as will be seen by q perusal of the following opinions which were secured:
 Mir. J. C. Adams
 Advertise everywhere that a man will read an advertisement. Bring as many people here as possible.
 A. Redewill-
 By all means advertise. I say so un- hesitatingly and all men who have the interest of the valley at heart should endorse the proposition at once and put their shoulders to the wheel and give the beautiful city and valley the biggest boost ever.
 Waiter Talbot
 T certainly do. The only thing to do is to advertise and get people into the country. l have not been in favor of extensive advertising heretofore but now that We have something to offer think We should let the world know about it and help ourselves a little at the same time.
 Dr. R. w. Craig
 By all means advertise Get the people here as fast as possible
 Frank Cox
 l am in favor of 1t. Let the/ good work go on.
 Charles Korrick-
 We need advertising and need it badly and I am preaching it. I preached it last year and was one of the first to get awake on the proposi- ton. l said then that I would sub Sprfha n h.l to and l will Say the same thing now.
 Mir. H. M. Kennedy, Secy Phoenix Flour Mills
 No question but what we should get in thrifty farmers that thoroughly un- derstand farming. Our soil can be made productive enough for the entire demand of the people. We need skilled and trained tillers of the soil. We are so far from the great market centers. that we should raise our own wheat. will give us so great a pro- iuctive and independent tariff as this.
 pr. J. C. Norton
 Advertise Phoenix? Why yes, l am in favor of it of course.
 Geo. A. Mintz-
 I most heartily endorse any move nent looking to the advertising of the valley.
 NIT. C. E. DeMund, Pres. Phoenix Flour Mills
 If there ever was time in the his tory of any country that needed ad- vertisment, it is now in the Salt River ialley. If any one doubts this let them ny to employ skilled farmers, fruit growers and truckmen. In fact labor If any kind. We need small farms md industries, when this is we will have one of the most attractive places in the south vest. We cannot expect the present 'upply of tabor and capital to accom- )lish this. The only way to bring this ibout is to advertise. dr. Geo. M. Halm-
 I am in favor of advertising in this Should expect the people If the city and country to fix up their lomes and streets and keep them clean md attractive. And the orange groves should be as free from weeds as ,ur parlor floors. When we have ac- this, we will have an at ractive location, and when people ar
  hiftless lot. Let the good work begin It once, before the people arrive.
 MT. H. H. McNeil-
 As an agricultural country we should advertise at once, and tell the people hat this is the greatest country on arth.
 MT. J. L. Irwin
 Cannot get mechanics too quickly. lave been trying to get house built or two months and cannot get con- ractor to do it on account of scarcity f labor.
 Mir. Dwight B. Heard
 l am thoroughly in favor of a pro- ressive, strictly businesslike, system tic and economically conducted cam aign for advertising this valley.
 What we need is more enterprising | ard working people to settle upon mall tracts, and the exact facts as to | his valley which are good enough for | ny one, should be presented to this |
