ADVERTISING FOR
THE THREE CITIES
Davenport Makes Final Appeal
to Rock Island and Mo-
line Bodies.
CAMPAIGN TO BEGIN SOON
II Two NeighbOrs Do Not Come in
Iowa Town Will Go Ii
Alone.

Secretary Woodwork Clum of the
Greater Davenport committee has again
urged the business people of Rock Is
land and Moline to join Davenport in
advertising this community as an indus
trial and home location. He has sent
a letter to w A Rosenfield, president
of the Rock Island club; NJ. H. Sexton,
president of the Rock Island Business
Mems association. and A. T. Foster.
president of the Moline Manufacturers
club. The letter is as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Rosenfield: On three
different occasions 1 have urged pub
licly that Rock Island and Moline join
with Davenport in a conservative pub
licity campaign. l have indicated that
Davenport would pay into that general
advertising fund in proportion to its
population. l have had no encouraging
response at all from your good city.
READY TO CLOSE CONTRACT.
Within two weeks Davenport will
close a contract for 5000 lines display
copy in the Chicago Tribune. to cost
$500. We are planning to close SIM
liar contracts with other leading news
papers throughout the country. In this
publicity we will use outlined maps
showing the ideal location of Daven-
port as a manufacturing and distribu-
ting point In justice to our contribu-
tors we cannot afford to show on that
map our two live competitors-Rock
Island and Moline-unless those COM
petitors will join with us in the ex-
pense. We could show the location Of
the tri-cities and I believe it would
make a wonderful impression upon the
manufacturing public If we could get
together.
FIVE CENTS PER CAPITA.
Davenport wants to get together with
you, and we would ask you seriously
to consider this suggestion, and let us
hear from you as soon as possible, in
order to avoid any criticism from our
good friends in Rock Island and Moline,
when these maps begin to appear show
ing Davenport as the only real live
town on the Mississippi river at this
point.
AS a definite suggestion, would say
that we spend jointly 5 cents per cap
ita during the next II months in maya
zine and newspaper space. This would
mean about $2,250 for Davenport and
approximately half that amount for
each Rock Island and Moline, or a total
of approximately $4,000.
Very truly yours,
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-05-18

WANTS FAIR PLAY FOR CITY
Charles A. Schieren Denounces
Railroad Discrimination.

Charles A. Scheren. chairman OF the
Chamber OF Commerce committee on DIFF
eerential railroad rates. said yesterday that
the recent comments by Governor Dix be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce and OF
Mayor Gaynor in interviews on the diner
entail railroad rates against New York,
called attention TO a situation OF deep con
Germ. He added that the attitude OF the
Governor and the Mayor at the present
juncture. when the leading commercial or
ganizations Of New York were cooperating
to test the validity of the difrerential rates,
indicated a much desired unity OF action.
Mr. Schieren went on 10 say that though
New York has grown despite the action or
the trunk line railroads in discriminating
against II IN freight rates for many years
its progress has been materially retard-
ed He said that this determination mas
existed in one form or another since
1869 and that I'm that time much commerce
that should have come 10 New York has
gone to other Atlantic ports.
Now the New York Chamber OF Com
merce. the Merchants Association, The

rates are unlawful because unjust and I'M
reasonable. because they are In violation
