To the man who lives in this city

past, present and future are identified
with II, Annapolis is the absorbing
and dominant proposition OF his life,
and Il is not easy for him To conceive
that 'all the word and the rest OF
mankind" are not a. fully informed
and rs equally impressed with the
city's opportunities, resources and
achievements rs he is.
A little investigation would make
some astounding and notifying dis
closures To such a man. lie would
discover, Tor instance, as we have,
that there are business men in the
nearest cities who have the yaguest
and most erroneous ideas about An
napolis, who have no true views Of
| the population of this city, the extent
OF ifs Industrial, commercial and
manufacturing interests, or Of the
means by which the people live and
prosper. or course. this is not true
OF all the people in our neiehboring
cities, but II ought not to ne true Of
any of them. There are just four cures
for this condition
First-Publicify.
Sccond-Publicity.

In every city you viii notice that

There are $4,000, 900 Of people IN
these United States. II is a very easy
matter for n city the size Of Annapolis
10 become little known to the outside
world, unless she spreads herself and
"blows her-Own horn" How much
more easy, then, Is IL for a manufac-
turcr OF merchant to become lost in
this vast multitude unless he makes q
noise and lets the rest know that be Is
alive and doing business At the old
stand.
Annapolis, through The Evening
Capital, will let her sister cities know
what her people are doing and what
she looks like. Annapolis desires
more sturdy and thrifty settlers and
welcomes such within her borders.
Annapolis desires 10 expand IN trade
and commerce and has no desire 10
be known as q sacred walled, city,
or close corporation. That may DO all
very well for Iassar or Pekin,. but not
for a twentieth century progressive
town like this.
