HARRY LOOMS HAS EXCEL
LENT IDEAS
Plans Completed for Big Banquet at
the Ansslus viii Help Develops
ment Society In Boost Of
California

Plans for the banquet of the Cali
fornia Development society at which
Loomis brothers of the Angelus hotel
are to be the hosts have been com
pleted and the affair promises a gath
ering Of distinguished men.
Since the society was first formed
the Loomis brothers have taken an
active interest I'm the publicity idea
planned by the directors.
II think the scheme to advertise
California Is an excellent one, though
1 do not know that l quite approve
of the methods proposed" said Harry
Loomls, one of the members OF the
firm.
II hear that 1t Is proposed to ad-
vertlse In eastern papers, but 1 think
1t would be better plan to spend
the money with the California papers
and magazines and send these broad
cast over the entire country. An east
erner will pick up his paper or a mag
azine and probably pass the advertise
ment by Without reading 1t, but If
through his mail he receives q Cali
fornia paper he will read it, If for no
other reason than to try to discover
a reason for It's being sent to him.
Naturally his attention is called to
California. Any man will read a paper
from far-away city, but not every
man will read an advertisement. Don't
be content with sending one but keep
on sending them and the result is
bound to be what we desire"

California" is the title under which

the publicity scheme at the banquet
