CONTRIBUTIONS SHOULD COME

tend the fair.
CONTRIBUTIONS SHOULD COME
IT the exposition company can not
raise the funds for the widespread pub
licity necessary. then I would suggest
that the aid OF every commercial or
ganization in California be solicited In
raising ample advertising funds. San
Francisco won't be the only beneficiary
from the exposition. and the CONNER
cial bodies should be willing to do their
share.
Il sincerely believe that IL we could
bring only one factor ito the personal
attention of easterners we would get
the desired result. That is the weather
factor. Suppose during each hot sum
mer day in Chicago. New York, Balti-
more, Cleveland, Boston, st. Louis and
other cities, a small advertisement was
run In the leading papers reading like
this: Weather today-Chicago, 90
degrees; San Francisco. 72 degrees; !;
and keep 1t UP for a week. Everybody
would want to leave for our city i'm
mediately. In winter the same methods
could be employed, changing Chicago to
10 degrees and San Francisco to the
same ~ degrees.
sIn summing MP can simply say that
we need more exposition advertlsing In
the east and less IN San Francisco and
