Portland believes in advertising Over
onc-half of the $4,000 which the Board
OF Trade is endeavoring to raise for ad-
vertising Portland as summer resort,
has already been pledged. Past adver-
Using mas brought thousands of strang-
ars to Portland who, otherwise, would
not have come. Portland merchants
are realizing this and are only too
willing to contribute to widen the scope
of the adve rtising this year. In addi-
ton to the regular newspaper and
magazine advertising a large amount
of work will be done with information
bureaus. and the board has already
established one at 1122 Broadway,
New York City. from which
great results are expected. Another
new feature W hich the Board of Trade
has adopted this year is a little printed
Come t. Portland" insert which briefly
describes Portland'S attractions and can
BIZ enclosed in letters sent out in pri-
vate and business correspondence. For
ty thousand of these have been printed
and already their work is being felt
Business houses throughout the city
are using them and Secretary Rich has
received many replies and inquiries as
direct result of them. Still another
plan being tried this year is that of a
small booklet which can be enclosed in
an envelope. This briefly describes
Portland and is filled with many illus
tratiohs OF places and scenery in Port
land and vicinity If there is a reply
from this or a further inquiry then Sec
rotary Rich will send out its large
Portland book This is. to avoid giving
out needlessly so many of tho large
books and the smaller books can also
be distributed more generally An edi-
ton of 10000 of these has also been
printed and is being sent out every
where. The title Of this book is Just
