THE BUSY BEE

Alexander Hume Ford continues to spread
the gospel of advertising through Australasia.
The leading article in "The Australasian Tray
eller'' for February, deals with this restless and
energetic man, who is forming clubs apparently
by the wholesale and boosting for Hawaii
wherever he goes. He is urging closer coopera-
ton Of the countries bordering the Pacific TO
advertise their attractions to the tourists of the
world and to organize their facilities systemati-
cally, economically to themselves and cheaply to
travellers. His object is set forth in his own
words in the "Traveller": -.. -=-#.@
1--WE are now working out practical plan to
advance; for all Australia and the Pacific to-
work together to make known the advantages
of the lands about this great ocean to the white
tourist immigrant or investor and to inform
them where and which class of their order is
nost particularly desired. .
