City Advertising.

St. Paul. Mimi, is said to be one
of the first cities in the United
States officially to recognize the
value of exploiting its industrial re-
sources and residential attractions
in the public prints. The city coun-
Gil has appropriated $4,000 to aug
ment an advertising fund raised by
private subscriptions, and has COM
mitted itself to the policy of renew
ing the appropriation annually. Ten
years ago few communities realized
the possibilities of growth attaina-
BILE through this sort of publicity,
and such advertising was a rarity.
Now the cities and towns that use
newspaper space to attract capital
and population are numbered by
hundreds. Official participation in
community advertising marks a new
and important step in advance.

The biggest advertisement that this
city and this vicinity has had since
January Is, 1908, is contained in
this issue of the MonIoe City DEM
ocrat in its resume of the year 1908.
And no man outside of this office
has put one grain of energy in it,
nor one ounce of labor in it, nor
one cent in it.
1t is the Democrats pride that
caused it, the Democrats labor and
energy that accomplished it, and
the Democrats liberality that gives
the city and country the benefit.
