The daily sentinel., 1912-01-02
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOLDERS READY TO SEND
OUT IN EVERY LETTER." "SEND OUT 5000 DAY
AND WILL HAVE TREMENDOUS RESULTS To CITY

Today The Sentinel job department
completes a two-color folder for the
Chamber of Commerce. This is one
of the most comprehensive pieces of
advertising issued for Grand juno
ton, the Grand valley and the en-
tire Western Slope in recent years.
Its form permits its being folded in
to six and three-quarters envelope
and it is so light it will hardly rep
resent much in the way of additional
postage.
One of the features of this folder
is a photograph etching of the map
designed by Secretary Shaffer and
Postmaster Price and drawn by En-
gineer Harper of the reclamation ser
vice
Mesa county's production figures
for 1911, the potent factors that con
tribute to Grand functions greatness,
an exploitation of conditions whereby
the homseseeker is advised of the
acreage of low-priced land, and in
fact everything one would desire to
say to a friend south or east, can
be found in the pretty little folder.
A campaign to get these out will
now be inaugurated by the Chamber
of Commerce. Secretary Shaffer is
awake to the possibilities of indi-
vidual effort in these matters and in
talking with a Sentinel representative
this morning. said:
Postmaster Price advises me that
the records of the postoffice show
that fully 5000 letters are mailed at
the local office daily 1t is not as
suming too much to suppose that by
proper spirit of cooperation not
less than 1000 of these letters each
day could carry the message in this
folder to all parts of the world.
I'VE want the people to send them
out-business men, ranchers, far
mers, fruitgrowers and everyone in
terested in Grand Junction and her
future Now | want The Sentinel TO
make this proposition plain to the
people. | want them to realize what
| they can do. Listen, 1t would cost
the Chamber of Commerce a 1c
stamp, an envelope and the cost of
| addressing 1000 envelopes, not less
| than SIS to mail out ,000 per day.
The people can by making up their
mind to slip one of these in every
| letter sent out. save this amount to
! the Chamber of Commerce and in the
course of a year it would mean that
over quarter of a million pieces OF
advertising had been mailed out.
''H>rs'is the idea--the people are
| tco art h look upon this as one OF
those little inconsequential affairs
and become forgetful of it. Let me
tell you, however, that 1t means one
of the greatest advertising campaigns
for this city that would be carried OF
in any section of the state. The Den
yer Chamber of Commerce will moi
send out to exceed quarter of 9
million pieces of literature in a year
The Denver & Rio Grande and Mid
land combined will not send out that
many pieces of literature.
The folders will be absolutely free
we appeal to you to come and gel
them and send them out If you are
in business notify all your clerks tC
see that they are mailed out in ev-
cry letter Tell your friends to dc
the same thing. Even see to ii that
your wife sends the folder out. Lei
us all work together in this. We will
print all that will be needed. II
the people will send out million
copies l am sure the Chamber OF
Commerce will print them
Mr. Shaffers ideas are right an6
this character of advertising could
be made the most effective of any
system employed in any city in the
country. Call at the secretary's of
flee in the Reed block and get {
bunch of the folders. Then see tC
it that they are sent out.
