A CITY.

The Record believes i n advertis-
ing. OF course this is but natural, but
We nave cen SO much benefit deriv-
cd from II hat the power OF publicity
appeals to us more and more every
day.
Readers of magazines will have not
ice many advertisements recently
calling attention to the advantages
and opportunities in certain sections
of the country. This means taat those
sections nave instituted an advertis-
ing campaign. just as the merchant
does. This method is not new. 1t has
been tried many times before with
great success, and it is this very sue
cess that mas induced other comnun-
tiles to adopt the same or a similar
method.
Tie state of Colorado has under
taken an advertising campaign, and
has appropriated a large sum of moa-
ey for advertising purposes. Oakland
California, is an enterprising town
that is spending many thousands OF
dollars for publicity. Many Rosv
people will remember recent adver
tisements in the Saturday Evening
Post telling of the advantages and
opportunities in Oakland.
Memphis, Tennessee. one of h
O rapidly growing cities in the
country, is another town that has TAX
en- up the advertising method of bet
ter becoming known TO the people.
Memphis is spending large sums for
publicity. II has tried it before, and ii
has found that ii has paid.
The merchant who advertises al
ways has an advantage over the one
who does not. The town or city which
does not con known for its good
points. its advantages and opportuni-
ties is losing much.
Then why slould not Roswell do
a little advertising? We cannot hope
TO do as much as Memphis or Oak
land, but we can do a great deal and
undoubtedly reap large profits. This
is a matter that it might be well for
the Tercial Club to look into.

inclined To give any information "a

company would finally do in refer
ence to the location of their line, but
was well pleased with the country he
had come over and expressed himself
as being surprised to find so much

on this line it would run about thru
the center of the largest and best un
developed part of West Tevas and

plains.
