change

VINO may have been a good salesman

ADVERTISING A CITY
BY GEORGE g. BANTA.

Probably the successful advertising
OF town or city is one Of the most
difficult accomplishments in the whole
field OF advertising. Hitherto it has
not been so difficult as IL will be in
the future. for the reason that the
list Of advertisers in this class is be-
ing heightened every day, and more
and more cities are joining in the
chorus Of boosters"
The first problem In developing a
community with advertising is to
make every resident of it loyal to the
place. In a city of 10000 or larger
the people have, in general, but a
very scant idea Of the particular ad-
vantages and the wealth-producing in
dustries of their home community.
They need education along this line.
But worse still, that old adage, "Fa-
miiiarity breeds contempt" is too
often literally true and Mrs. Jones is
quite likely to get IL into her head
that Neighbor Smith is a poor sort OF
a miller anyway and she doesn't care
10 use his -four nor anything else that
ne makes And often the same thing
- NS VI ehc oi66cSt ana pest CdTOS
the place holds. Not infrequently in
place wherein is located an institu-
non OF great value a regular hotbed
OF critics is developed who seem to
delight In knocking" It.
now no town is going to do much in
advertising. or anything else, SO long
as this state Of affairs exists. But
fortunately little enlightenment
VIII cure nearly every case and If ii
taxes fve years to convert the popu-
lace 1t Will be time well spent. Until
that 1s done and the business men
get together sufficiently to stand SOL
IDLY and unbiased for the things of
the place In which they live. every en-
terprise which IL is proposed to start
VIII get baptism of cold water be-
iore IL ls twenty-four hours old
But the movement toward town and
CITY advertising is logical and timely.
advertising makes people think and
active results follow naturally. How
10 go about the achievement of re-.
suits is question any city can an
Swer, not with talk but with work
IL taxes determination, purpose. and
money. but that it is an inyestmept
