brought about these wonderful results
and practically snatehed me from the
grave, but your elimate--this wonder.
ful climate that the world knows SO
little about, has made a new man OF
me. 1t was the opportunity to- live
out of doors, to sleep in large open
room like this, with fhe fresh, life,
giving air circulating through it at all
times and the opportunity to at all
times be able to take a sea bath with,

Urges Advertising Of Climate.
- Now, as I am making these state
mepts through appreciation for wha
this wonderful climate has done foI
me, want TO say also that Others VIII.
are in the same state of health that j
was in should also know that they ma,
profit by my experience. The point
am tying TO make is this; your elm
ate is not properly advertised. hay,
the Intelligence of the average business
man Of today and / knew practically
nothing about your climate. L hat
heard that Claus Spreckels owned tn,
Islands, that you had missionaries here
that ut one time there was a great
king called Kamehamcha and that thi
was the place that hula dancers cam,
from. Not one word did ever heal
OF your climate and there are man,
Others who never have.p u.
Los Angeles has been built up OF
advertising q climate that they hav,
not got, yet the thousands who ~
there are satisfied with even that. G,
up TO Los Angeles and bring these PEG

said: There are thousands Of men il
the United States suffering from nerv

would gladly come here if they knew
of the climatic conditions ~
Would Encourage Wealthy Class.
