The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1912-02-16

This Is story OF how a comfortable
little fortune was spent In three weeks:
1t wasn't squandered, and In its way
that fortune put potential wealth into
the hands of more than $4,000 per
sons In Chicago.
To begin at the beginning: When
the third Chicago Land Show was be-
Ing planned the Union and Southern
Pacific railroad companies began to
plan also how they could attract their
share Of the hundreds Of thousands
that would visit she show, to their ter
ritory. Many things were discussed
the first being the idea Of booths in
which to display the products grown
along the lines of the RAILROADS.
THAT won't do" said Gerritt Fort
and Charles s. Fee, passenger traffic
managers Of the Union and Southern
Pacific railroads. We've got to have
something different this year, Last
year we showed what our farmers
can do, This year we want to show
what all of us can do"
Plan to Spend a Fortune.
And right there began the plans
for spending this fortune. After doz-
en- different suggestions had been
thrashed out there was evolved the
one used, that of having two moving
picture palaces built into the Coliseum
at Chicago and there showing stereop-
ticon and moving pictures not only of
farm life but of town and city life
along the Union and Southern Pacific
lines.
Twenty thousand dollars was the
sum decided upon as necessary to
make the display. The space at the
Coliseum that was allotted to the rail-
roads was put in the hands of NOV

SPENDING A FORTUNE TO TELL
OTHERS HOW TO GAIN WEALTH

given in the two theaters in the %
days the Land Show was opener an
average Of % lectures day. Thirty
different men and women from differ
ent parts Of the country sent out the
call for their particular sections; each
presenting In his or her own way the
advantages to be derived from resid-
ing there.
Governors day at the Land Snow
was November %, and on that day
the Union-Southern Pacific companies
threw open their theaters to the gov
ernors of ten western states, welcom-
ed them there, and 1t was there that
the messages Of these states were told
to Chicago. Other distinguished visit
ors were invited, and they also talk
ed to thousands. On the special days
of the states represented at the expo
sition the programs were given, as a
usual thing in one of these theaters.
Men stood at each door Of the two
theaters all day long with counters.
in their hands, and every person that
entered was licked off on the little
watch-like machines they held. At the
end Of each day the total was taken
from each and they were set back to
zero again ready for the next day.
In this way accurate count was kept
OF the $4,000 men, women and chill
dren who were told the message of
the west.
Message Straight 10 Hearts.
We found that w6 sent our mes
sage straight into the hearts of the
land hungry" said an official OF the
railroads who was present during the
land show. They came into our lit
tie theaters with their eyes and feet

tired from the sights they had seen
and the hard floor they had tramped.
They sank down into our comfortable
seats, rested their feet on our padded
floor, and just listened. Then when the
lights were lowered and the beautiful
ly colored stereopticon pictures were
thrown on the screen, their eyes were
rested by the soft colors of the flow
ers, the waving grain and the hand
some homes shown them. In the mo-
ton pictures they were shown the
methods Of farming, the scenic won
ders of our lines, and the many cit
les which we reach. Altogether, l be-
lieve that We reached the people in
this way better than we could in any
other"
IT, Thousands Get Literature.
As the throngs passed from the the
aters after each lecture they were sent
out through the front of the rooms,
into wide hallway between the audi
forums. On one side of this hallway
was long counter where literature
descriptive of the Union-Southern Pa
cific territory was handed them and
tens Of thousands also registered their
names and addresses. These will be
turned over to the communities in the
railroads territory for their benefit In
order that they may get into direct
touch with persons seeking new
homes.
The cost Of space, fitting up and op-
Grating the two theaters was a heavy
one, and at the end of the % days of
the exposition the men behind the ex-
hibit discovered that their little for
tune of $4,000 had been spent.
With the close Of the land show
