The city OF Duluth has been doing
a lot Of advertising recently. laTc,
display advertisements we're carried
in many papers in the northwest, h,
Bismarck Daily Tribune among Others
The advertising was wholly for the
purpose OF setting forth the resources
of Duluth and getting the people 0.
the northwest acquainted win tht
Lake city. The advertising is prob
ably still fresh in the minds nt the
readers OF the Tribune and al raS
torial which appeared in the D4'q1E

Here IS how and why:
lou live in T. territory tina; ccm.
pr!s"s a.Go0. 900 acres. Yoa are not
in actual contact with the manufacture
ing and producing enter that must
supply some OF your most imperative
needs or which furnish the things that
help 10 make your home enjoyable.
Furthermore, yOu are producing things
that you cannot sell directly to your
neighbors-things like grain and 9TH
err commodities that must find pur-
chasers in sections OF the country or
of the world where these things can
not be produced.
In order to get needed and useful
articles from these other localities
you must, directly or indirectly, pat
ronize transportation services, and to
market your W products YOU must
%patronize these same services. But
railroads cost money. There is the
first cost of laying out routes, and
putting down tracks, and the later
cost of maintenance.
With water transportation there is
no such initial expense, therefore,
water transportation is cheaper than
rail transportation. But to use water
transportation you must ship and re-
ceive by way of some port.
In Duluth you have in your own
home territory a port that is 800 miles
further inland than any other deep
water port. Route your shipments via
Duluth and profit by the advantages
Of water transportation as we'll as the
service of the fifteen great railroads
that center here and cover 10000
square miles of territory.
But Duluth can be more to you than
the place where sail meets SAIL" Du-
luth has today about 100,O 900 inhabit-
ants. 1t is a market for your wares
and a market in which you can buy
to advantage. 1t is a logical and con-
v%enient place for you to visit on either
business Or pleasure. 1t affords bust
ness opportunities unsurpassed any
where in the Northwest, and unequal
ed opportunities for recreation. 4

ever been in Duluth? If you have,
come back and see how we look now.
If you never have been here, it is
time you came and saw us and saw
that what we are telling you is true.
