STATEMENT OF ADVERTISING FUND WILL SHOW ALL MONEY
 WENT INTO PUBLICITY,
Hot Springs Has High Class Publicity Promoters Which Other Cities
 Pay Dearly to Secure.

There are many cities in the Uaited States where the idea of municipal development has taken root, and where high class promoters are em- ployed by the city to carry on cam paigns or revivas of municipal en- thusiasm This prevails to such an extent, that there are regularly in- corporated promotion firms doing business in civic building. Their literature often finds it's way to the office of the Business Men League. The cost of these high class publicity promoters must be added to the cost of advertising the city and the total expense is rather enormous where big campaigns are carried out.
 i'trc i5 fact to consido,. Thero Is aot another city ip the United States, perhaps, whc e .nUnicipal pub l'citv york is carried cut anT broac- CT ITes or with greaIe. dci.ity than n ''ci Spr.lgs Vr&t dc We lay for this work? Only the salary of sec re,sry to the Business Mems League. Fsw people realize whs m ,numen- tai task it was to get the incoming railroads to donate $1S000 to boost Hot Springs. Why was 1t not done until two years ago? This is some thing to consider when contributing to the Advertising Fund. If we had to employ expert promoters to engi- neer our publicity campaigns, there would be a heavy tax added to what we now pay for this same work. Home talent iS not always appreeiat- ed at it's true value, even when stu peadous results confront our intel ligence with staggering force.
 When the big campaigns of publi- city were inaugurated here two years ago, it was expressly advocated that all the moneys expended should be accounted for so completely that no contributor could feel the least un- certainty that his personal donation was doing it's particular share in
 adveAtising Hot Springs. And when the advertising campaigns Of the past two years were over, every dollar Of expenditure was accounted forsin thoroughly satisfactory man ner.
 This year there was general de- mand for an even more complete. ac- counting of the funds expended last year. and the railroads have agreed readily to this. They have eyen vol unteered to send here their own statements which are part of their files in the booEeeping departments. with the request of course. that they be returned when the report Is pub llshed In a word there has been every disposition shown both by the Business Mems League as well as the railroads to satisfy the contribu tors to the Advertising Fund. They have distributed the moneys contri- buted not only to the best of their ability and to the highest demands
