WILL BE ADVERTISED
Steps Taken to Advertise
the Possibilities Of City
and County

A meeting of the directors of the
Commercial club was held Friday
evening at the club 1ooms. The
matter of advertising the resources
of county and city, for the general
good of both, was considered at some
length.
H. Landahl thought it was time
that something should be done. Not
since tho Headlight illustrated number
in 1870 had there bsen ything ade.
quate ~ to illustrations and matter.
He believed that tho time was oppor-
tune to get out finely illustrated
pamphlet devoted to the possibilities
of the county and city.
CoArgessman.elsct Lindbsrg also
thought the time opportune. He be.
lieved that an excellent thing would
be to Induce immigration of farmers,
for With an agricultural region tho
roughly developed, the future of the
oity would not be In doubt. Hs said
the outside country could easily care
for three times its present population,
and the main thing is to get people on
the land.
N. NJ. Williams pointed out that
In the five years between 1855 and
1888 great deal of advertising had
been done, and that the city had
twice IN that period doubled its popu-
lation. Many kinds of advertising
were then used and proved effective.
He heartily endorsed the IDEA Of ad-
vsrtising the city and neighboring
country. .@=
The general sentiment was distinct:
ly favorable. The club itself not
being IN q position to stand tho total
expense of the advertising proposition,
it was decided to appoint committee
to see what could be done in getting
help in an individual way, and Presi-
dent Vasaly appointed j. K. Martin.
81. Laudahl and T. C.. Gordon as such
committse. to report at meeting of
the club ruesdy night, Feb. '2th.
