ADVERTISING A TOWN.
How Nicholas Longworth Boosted Gin
cinnati Seventy five Years Ago.

How Nicholas Longworth Boosted Gin
cinnati Seventy five Years Ago.
In our modern pride of advertising
we may delude ourselves into aeliev-
ing that we are pioneers in a&sertis-
ing a town.
We are wrong. About seyenty-five
years ago Cincinnati was doomed by
an advertising campaign Outshining
some of our present efforts in clean
cut business methods Nicholas Long
worth, progenitor Of Congressman
Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati, was
at that time in possession Of a group
of seemingly hopeless hills along the
Ohio He couldn't sell them, he
couldn't lease them, and he couldn't
work them.
For a long time he studied the sitrl-
alton, and his mind Travelled the same
groove toward a solution that is trav-
eled in SO many present day CONNER
cial difficulties-tOWard advertising.
Longworth recalled the vine clad ter
races of the German Rhine, and he
proceeded to use the only advertising
medium which was worth much in
those days-the postoftice-to bring
viniculturists to Cincinnati.
He printed circulars and wrote let
ters to the full productive capacity of
the little town of Cincinnati and flood
ed the fatherland with them. He told
them exactly what he would want to
know if he were in their place, describ-
ing soil, climate, living conditions, etc,
and he offered them profitable employ
ment and protection.
AS a copy writer he must have been
q winner and the original reasOn-Why
man, for how numerOusly the Germans
responded is now a matter of history.
Hundreds of thousands of Germans
live in and about Cincinnati today.
If more towns with advantages
would wake up and follow the exam
pie of Longworth there would be
better adjustment of population and
industry to the profit of all concerned.
There has been too much unprepared
and harum scarum advertising done
by towns. which has resulted in 10
good. An effective campaign must be
well followed up. Montgomery, Ala.
several years ago spent $4,000 in ad-
vertising. and when results came in it
was not ready to take care Of them.
Such a mistake is always fatal.

Trip of Fish Commission.

The Wisconsin Commission of Fish
cries, of which Calvert Spensley is
president, visited the various fish
hatcheries of the state last week. Mr..
Spensley reports a very interesting trip.
The Commission is not only doing a
great work in stocking streams, but
have in hand an important undertaking
in reclaiming fish from ponds and
sIoughs and returning them to the
streams, and more especially along the
course of the Mississippi. Many thous-
ands of pounds Of fish were taken dur
ing last season from overflow ponds
along the river at Prairie du Chien,
Lacrosse, and many other points. The
plan now is for the fish commissioners
to superintend the woI2z of returning
fish to the main stream instead Of al
lowing them to perish when the ponds
dry up.
