The Hotels and the Bus Fee

A Canon City man who has recently
been among the tourists of California
was talking the other day about Can
on City and the tourist business.
He said:
Canon City has one thing that you
will find in very few cities of the
country today and in practically no
tourist. cities. That is free hotel
bus.
1 have been in good many tourist
towns in the past few years and l
have seen but one free hotel bus.
That was run by third rate hotel
in Los Angeles.
In every other town 1 have been
in the tourist or the travelling man
pays his two bits OF his four bits to
ride up to the hotel and does it cheer
fully. / have never heard man kick
on bus charge.
In Denver, Colorado Springs, Pu-
eblo or Grand Junction you pay 81
you ride up.
In Colorado Springs the Antlers Ho-
tel is within a block of the station
but the guest for the Antlers pays the
same price in the Antlers bus as does
the guest of any hotel ten blocks
away.
In Canon City both leading hotels
maintain free buses. It costs each
hotel about 800 month to provide
this free service.
And in Canon City both leading ho-
tells are running at loss most of the
year.
In most all the tourist towns. n
fact in most of the live towns of this
country the hotel men are the leading
spirits and the largest contributors
in every advertising campaign and

BIG FRUIT YEAR FOR
COLORADO PREDICTED

Denver. March 26.-Colorado fruit
growers are looking forward to the
biggest crop and the most prosperous
year in the history of the industry.
The continuance of cold weather so
late in the season is an indication,
the fruit men say. that there will be
no spring frosts. Al E.Ip
Owing to the lateness of the pres
ent season the fruit buds are unde-
.yeloped, only having reached the
stage OF development OF January 1 OF
former years. This will do away with
any chance for crop failures II there
should be spring frosts.
A. E. Mauff, secretary of the state
board of horticulture, has received
the above information from Ira b.
Cline, president OF the board, who has
been making a tour OF the western
slope fruit country. He attended Il
meeting of fruit growers in Paonia
las. week, where the question of one
association which would provide for
the marketing of the fruit, was first
introduced.
In past seasons the interests OF the
several different associations have
confiicted. Several growers last year
realized just enough on fruit to pay
for packing, owing to the condition
of the fruit market. The market be-
came congested at different times
during the season, making it impos-
sible for the grower to receive fair
price for-his crop.
Secretary Mauff predicts the great
est fruit crop in the history of Cole
RADIO for this season. according to the
reports he has received. The only bad
outlook, he says. comes from the low
er Arkansas valley region. where
trees are thought to have been dam
aged by the heavy frost of last No
vember.

Colorado Springs has popular in
stitution in its Winter Night Club.
The Winter Night Club is composed
of two hundred professional and busi-
ness men of Colorado Springs.
The club meets at the Antlers Hotel
about once month during The win
ter months, six or seven times during
the season. Dinner is served and after
dinner an address is made by some
visiting celebrity to the state. or by
some one eminent in his profession.
While the address is usually enter
tanning and one of the chief features
of the club, still it seems to me that
the chief benefit of the club is the OPP
portunity is affords the people of all
lines and professions to mix socially.

Advertising Will Pay Small Shop
By WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

who advertise spasmodicaIIy. hesitate
TO undertake an advertising campaign
because OF the feeling that they stand
very poor chance Of getting ade-
quate returns because OF their inabil-
ity to buy big space in the newspap-
ers.
But SO much interest Is taken in ad-
vertising in newspapers today-it is
SO thoroughly read by all the people
because the people realize that ad-
vertisements are real news and tell
them some things they shonld know
that even limited space regularly used
involving a small expenditure OF
money. brings splendid returns.
The results in Chicago demonstrate
that small merchants can advertise In
local newspapers In accordance with
their means. basing their expenditure
on small percentage OF their gross
business, and profit by It,
And in every community there are
many stores whose business can be
materially Increased by the same
method. 3

Chicago newspapers are making
steadily increasing showing Of small
advertisers-small announcements OF
merchants who conduct small shops
in Chicago.
According to a statement niAde re-
Gently, these stores, collectively. have
used SO pages more OF space this year
than they did last year. Clearly indi-
eating that their advertising paid
them.
The increased space alone repre-
sents as much as some very big stores
use in the whole year, not only In
Chicago. but in many other OF the big
cities Of the United States.
This is proof conclusive that the
merchant with a small shop and good
merchandise can use small space prof
itably in newspapers. even IN big
city. and if he can do that IN big
city, how much more effectively can
1t be done In smaller communitios7
