The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-08-16
Vermont's Latest Advertising.
Barre Times.

That the recent efforts Of Vermont
to advertise herself are likely to ben"
fruit is indicated by the fact that the
latest book, "Nermont, the land Of
Green Mountains, is attracting atten-
ton among the newspapers of the cit
les, and the newspapers are doing Il
good work for Vermont by sending the
information further along. For in
stance, the Boston Transcript passes
the following comment on the book Just
published by the Vermont bureau Of
publicity: Worthy of commentator
is the aim and character of the advcr-
Using which is being done officially by
the state of Vermont =; and it adds
later on: "'The book ('Vermont, the
Land Of Green Mountain5 is both
an admirable presentation of Yer
mont 5 unappreciated capacities for
meeting the desires of a large class of
vacationists and a cordial invitation
to those outside the borders to visit
lakes and little rivers. One would
have to 90 far to find a piece of ad-
vertising literature at once so Gignited
so charming and so full of informative
value. 1t does seem that Vermont is
on the right track toward that "'nen
Vermont which for several years has
been largely on paper; the returns from
this book just sent out by the bureau
of publicity ought to be large.

higher than the Payne-Aldrich bile ..
What was the duty on sugar in both
bills2 s. How does the United States
compete with England for Canada S
trade in iron and steel manufactures,
books and printed matter, boots and
shoes, electric apparatus, brass manu-
features and so on, when the United
States pay 40 per cent more than
England for skilled labor? Is it due to
the United States having more modern
facilities and more efficient labor or to
the fact that England imports the raw
material?
/. 1t was in theory, but practically
the bill of 1909 proved to be almost as
high. 2. Sugar was unchanged in the
Payne-Aldrich bill. The provision is
Above IS deg. polariscope 95-100 of one
cent a pound, and for each additional
degree 35-100 of one cent a pound. Re
fined sugar, one cent and 90-l00 of one
cent a pound. 3. \ great deal of ex-
planatory space would need be given
to answer fully. Broadly speaking,
American goods are produced cheaply
in large quantities by means of highly
developed machinery and expert work
men. Cost of transportation does ont
enter materially into the matter Eng
land is the preferred country under the
Canadian tariff. American patented
articles must be manufactured on
Canadian soil to be sold proftably
American shoes and machinery are the
best made and sell on their own mer-

Sheriff Frank II. Tracy of Montpelier,
whose name was prominently mention
ed for the position of superintendent
of the state house of correction but
who didn't get the appointment, is
evidently of the opinion that condi-
ton at the Rutland institution are not
of the best In a recent interview re
garding the new superintendent Sheriff
Tracy is quoted as saying: HE will
have lot of hard work to do in clean
ing house there. l IN sure of that and
it s going to take a strong willed and
determined man to accomplish what
should certainly be done. No, l will
not say just what the conditions are
there but the place needs a general
housecleaning and the work should
start at once. 1t has been delayed too
