1t was with considerable interest
that the audience listened to the es
say, Maine as Vacation Mecca de-
livered by Florence Hazel Withee.
She said in part:
Every year Names importance as
a summer playground is increasing
Those who come once to this land Of
beauty and of romance always return
bringing their friends with them a
half century ago there were com
paratively few accommodations for
summer visitors in the State and
those were of an Indifferent sort. Now
the whole coast is lined with hotels
set in lovely gardens and with magni-
Gcient private villas and camps, while
nearly every pond has its cottage col
ony and its hotels.
The causes of this rapid develop
ment are easily seen. The air Is
cool, clear and bracing. 1t invigor-
ates the tired city dweller and gives
health and strength to the invalid
The scenery, too, as beautiful as that
found in any part of the world, has
played no small part in establishing

BRUNSWICK TO BE GIVEN SOME
GOOD ADVERTISING BY THE
ENTERPRlsiNG LOCAL ORGAN
4 lZATION.
PAMPHLETS DESCRIPTIVE OF THE
CITY TO BE PUBLISHED AND
CIRCULATED THROUGH A., 3. g.
A. PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT.

OF special interest is a campaign
Of general publicity which the Retail
Merchants Association now have un-
der way, and which will take definite
form i'll the course of a very few days.
This association has rapidly extended
the sphere of its general usefulness,
and among other things. it is welded
to the idea that a systematic and
1udicious campaign of advertising and
general publicity is absolutely neces-
sary to the proper growth and devel-
opment of the community. To that
end, they are to inausurate several
different characters of advertising
which through organized channels,
are to have very wide distribution in
the great northwest and in other
sections of the &C lntry, where the
PEOPLE are looking for suitable sites
for new homes.
Among other things the Association
is having printed little pamphlet in
which the advantages of Brunswick
and the community is to appear in at
tracllVe manner. 1t Will chow the
death rate, the average temperature,
an analysis of our splendid artesian
water description of cur system OF
Ipuhltc schools, our channe. and harbcr
depths as compared with other ports
and various and sundry other useful
fihformation about the city.
These pamphlets will be circulated
through the immigration department
of the A. B. and A., Railroad company
and by the merchants and business
men Of the city generally and that
they will bring s. me results there can
be no question.
The association has in mind sew
eral broader ideas of advertising
which they will take up later.

NUMEROUS INQUIRIES RECEIVED
IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICE
TO BE lNAuGURATED BY THE
MUNSoN LINE.
BELIEVED THAT A BIG TRADE
WILL QUICKLY BE RESULT OF
ESTABLISHMENT OF SERVICE
FROM THIS PORT.

Numerous inquiries II m all parts
OF the Southeast are being receI. eI in
the Office of r. d. NJ ST. achau q. Co.
relative to the new freight steam 5hip
line which will be inalgu ated tynpl
Brunswick and South Atlantic prs
tc ports of the West Indies atout t. :
middle of April by the Munson Ste "A
ship Line of New York.
much interest being manifested in TIE
new line, and also that a Sod busi-
ness is assured from the very first saul
ing. Another interesting fac broug t
to light is that the Muncon Line ns.s
agreed to increase the number of s.: L.
ings a month according to The volume
OF business, and that if there is SD :
tcient demand a passenger -arv &c
over the same line will be furnished.
Ia is proposed that a vessel of reas
onably large tonnage be engaged for
the initial trip and lrger sizet vessel
used each succeeding month rs the
volume business increases. 1t is very
probable that few passengers can be
accommodated, but the service for
passengers will naturally not prove
attractive at the start. The amount OF
business to be done on the new line
will warrant the operating of three or
-four vessels a month it is believed
Among the business men there is
manifestation of great interest in the
venture and fattering success has
been predicted for it. A number OF
business houses have already signit1ed
their intentions of making shipments
son the first voyage of the vessel and
some have gone so far as to try tc
make reservations for large amounts
aof freight. In Cuba and the West In
dies there has always been great de-
sire on the part of the business men
for direct shipping route from that
district to the South Atlantic ports
The commerce that will be carried on
between the two districts cannot but
be profitable. it is said.
Business houses in Brunswik and
other South Atlantic pcrts have al
various times engaged vessels for car
rying cargoes to the West Indies In
those instances additional shi:mant-
from other business houses have been
carried and reports indicate that nc
trouble whatever, has ever been eX
perienced in getting a full cargo tC
