POSTER BOOSTS
FOR CLOVERLAND
Artistic Advertising Matter Being
Sent Out by Col. Mott

Beautiful posters sent out by Col.
c. NJ. Mott manager of the Upper
Peninsula Development Bureau for adj
vertisng purposes have just been re-
ceived here and are attracting much
favorable attention.
The poster is itself work of art 1t
is paneled scenee of an upper penin-
sula farm showing an immense field of
clover the chief agricultural product of
the district and a field Of other grain.
Separating the two is a typical lane In
which sheep are seen grazing in large
numbers. In the background are the
houses, barns, sheds. silos. windmils.
etc. The horizon is marked by wood
land The whole is done in colors, not
gaudy but realistic.
In the upper left hand corner is seen
a map Of the upper peninsula and bor-
dering regions. The sounties are de-
signated by different cOlors. The larS-
er cities and towns of the upper pen
insula are dotted and named. The rail
routes entering the peninsula are out T.
lined, showing the exact positions Of
the markets, such as Chicago Mil
waukee, Minneapolis. etc. In other
words, Cloverland is definitely located
and no question is left in the mind OF
one who looks upon the display.
Below the paneled scene is found
information paragraphs which describe
what the peninsula offers the land aud
homeseeker. Ii tells of the wealth of
the land in timber and minerals anG of
it's adaptability to agriculture hortcul-
ture and stock raising. The unlimited
encouragement of Industrial invest
ments. The climate excellent roads,
schools. churches, etc. are mentioned.

terested. The original of the lithograph
WAS made by Chicago and Milwaukee
artists. Col Mott spent over week in
these cities, debating to the artists eX-
actly what was wanted. The result of
his labors are unquestioned bv one
who has seen the poster.
The entire middle west is to be COW
cred by these autographs. Contracts
have been made with several agencies
controlling hillboards i'm Michigan, IL
linois, Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin
and other states for the displaying of
the posters. Considerable trouble has
been taken i'm securing stands which
will be most noticed by those who are
most interested in farm lands. II is
