N. P BOOSTING
NORTH DAKOTA
Giant Railway System Inau'
gufates Big Campaign to
Advertise State

The Northern Pacific Railway is
advertising North Dakota in spec
ial list of farm and rural publications
calculated to reach upwards of five
millions of people in the middle vets
and eastern sections of the United
States. Large display advertise.
ments, a reproduction of one of which
is shown herewith, will greet the eyes
and invite the inquiries of these peo-
pie in compelling manner that is
expected to produce big results. The
advantages of the state from agri'
cultural and industrial standpoints,
and the opportunities not only for
the farmer but for the business man
and investor, are set forth.
1t is said that tiis is the most ex-
pensive advertising campaign in the
interests of North Dakota ever
launched by any of the transportation
companies. Homeseekers fares to all
points in the state are in affect on
the first and third Tuesdays of each
month, and 1t is the expectation Of
Northern Pacific officials that this ad-
vertising campaign will result in in.
vestigation of North Dakota's attrac-
tons by a large number of the class
Of people best fitted to develop the
states unoccupied and unimproved
lands.
