business men, but sometimes it's long time coming.
 'I would make mention, however. Of the fact that success comes and come Iuicl1ly 10 the business man or fir nal IS equally as honest as the old fashioned fellow but gives ear nest thousnl and attertion to his ideas of that special line that he is engaged in to the extent that after getting thoroughly acquainted with his business, in1ects into that busi- ness a new line of thought and drives if home, hammers it through and cinches it quickly in such way that the public cannot fail to take no- tiee and reward him for his fore- 
 As an example, or an object lesson in the difference between the two me- thods employed, take for instance the operation of q certain real estate firm of our city. It has been the cus- tom for years in developing tracts of land in and around Nashville to sell 1t by auction after advertising that the sale would be held on certain day This modus operandi was the proper way for years; it was the be5t en path followed and practiced so long that even the ruts were worn smooth. Last year this particular firm of progressive young fellows in- augurated something new. They didn't even stick pick in the dirt, but they got hold of an expert landscape engi- neer of undoubted ability, who put the plan on paper, d beautiful plan; they listed yours and my name num- erically and they took us out in autos and without any fuss and feather of an auction sale we did the buying and the entire property was disposed of at handsome profit, which profit is still growing. These hustling young fellows drew on their wits-their horse sense-for that's what wits are in business; they introduced some thing new and you and I must find out what that new thing is and give it to them
 If We are to advertise Nashville to the best advantage to the extent of inter lesting immigration, new capital, bringing the same into the city and furnishing something for it to invest in after getting it here, we must, as said in the beginning of this article do something out of the ordinary to catch capitals eye and ear, and get ting these we must then be so well prepared with bonafide resources that We can hold it-not turn it loose un- tfl it is part of us.
 This is an age of doing things quickly It's he age of autos and aeroplanes Why not take advantage then of an opportunity that will en- able Nashville to be advertised quick !Y newly and uniquely, having it her aided from ocean to ocean that we have done something that no other city has done.
 Heres the plan: Get the necessary number of big Marathon cars; the reason l say Narration is that they are made in Nashville. Get Nash Tflle's own military band; get one good newspaper man; get five of The csty's best public speakers, volun- teers; and ship the whole equipment by rail to the first big city that you wish to get it's people interested in o1r city Go to the leading news papers and buy a page of their space to advertise Nashville and the biz free meeting at the best hall in he city Parade the city with The brass band and autos, pr8pert, straamered and take my word for it, you'll fill all the opera houses or halls that you meet in and youll have people to lis ten to you who are interested and you'll make hit.
 You can cover that especial fer- ritory and continue your journey in your autos, distributing yonr Iitera- ture as you go, and getting the big gest and best advertisement for your money that ever was.
 Now for the publicity outside of fae cities and towns visited by-well tets call it 4The Autos from Nash Vllle-your newspaper man can re- port each meeting to the Associated Press or some other news service. or have one of his own, and flash inc news of Nashville advertising in each place visited daily across and uu and ooWn tfis good old Unised States. and even into the cold regions of Canada
