Some Big Doing

Two hundred cities in the United
States are at present engaged in mu-
nicipal advertising. Most of them
maintain regular advertising organi-
cations, other do the work through
business mems associations and still
others maintain paid representatives
in large eastern cities. Spokane, for
instance, has press bureau, capably
conducted, which is continually send
ing out to the newspapers of the
country items dressed in attractive
form, setting fourth interesting facts
pertaining to that locality, and spends
$4,000 annually for this purpose.
This method Of advancing munich
pal interests says Judicious Advertis-
ing, has recently commended itself to
the people of Nashville, Tenn,
where the business men have decided
to organize an industrial advertising
bureau and to spend money in max
ing known the advantages Of the
town. A committee named to inves-
tigate the result Of advertising in other
cities made the following report:
With an expenditure Of $4,000,
Omaha secured sixty factories, with
1000 operatives employed; De:
Moines, ST., 900, twenty factories
with 600 workmen; Kansas City ex.
pended $4,000 got eighty factories

with 1900 men; Cincinnati, $4,000
thirty factories, 900 men; Memphis

tories; San Antonio, $1,000, eigh.
teen factories, 10000, men; Buffalo
1.-TWO months), $1,000, twelve factor.
ries, $50 men; sLynchburg Zone
monthly 5000, two factories and 4OC
men.
A profitable advertising campaign
has also just been conducted in Pen
sacola, Fla. Property owners raised
100000 to be expended in three
years. Fifteen thousand dollars wa:
spent in the first three months, with
the result that the price of city prop
erty advanced five dollars foot, and
nearby farms fifteen dollars an acre,
Several hundred city lots and a num-
Der of farms had been sold in the
meantime, aud those directing the
campaign express themselves very
we'll satisfied with the returns from
their investment.
1t is undeniabIy true that munich
pal advertising is profitable invest
ment.
