ARKANSAS VALLEY COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
General Report On Land and irrigation EXPOSE
ton, Chicago November 10 to December q

siderable benefit to those desiring to
talk about a definite Investment, as
the information given out in the booth
proper was only of a general nature.
Free newspaper publicity was verY
hard to secure and this may be at
tributed somewhat to the fact that
the Land Show was conducted under
the auspices of the Chicago Tribune
and the publicity given in their land
section OF the newspaper was of
general nature only. Through the In
fiuence of having the Hearst Trophy
In our possession. we secured several
good write ups in the Chicago Exami-
ner and American, which have a large
circulation; these being newspapers
controlled by William Randolph
Hearst. Rearden of Denver deserves
considerable credit for this interview
On this occasion the trophy was taken
to the photograph gallery of the Ex-
aminer and with it the Colorado dele
cation was represented.
Expenses in Connection With Land
Show.
Like many other expositions of this
nature, the exhibitors were charged
heavy rates for construction work,
etc. at the same time the bills paid
represent a low figure as compared to
what the majority were obliged to
pay. as the entire work was handled
as economically as possible.
Temporary DISPOSITION of Exhibit.
AT the close of tho Land show on
December 4tb all permanent exhibits
were packed and Grated Inv G. A.
Challgren and assisted by / w. Edgar

furnished same and put in storage to
be called for as the association may
deem fit.

Other parties doing active work in tho
booth took MANY names ON cards

Colorado's resources as n state ara
recognized in the East and most peo.
pie have a commitment for most of the
sections of the state. few. however.
realize the extent OF agricultural pur.
suits and on account of railroad facill.
ties. the sections trayersed least are
less known. IL is safe In say that the
Land show and nubIicitv work thus
far done by the association is of I'm.
estimable value. IL matters are kent
alive through correspondence and
proper literature is forwarded to those
making inouiry.
