HOW 1T WILL HELP.
The Real Purpose of the develop
Maine Movement"

What good is it going to do this
town?" is a question that every solicitor
for the Develop Maine Movement has to
meet when he asks for new members. 1t
is asked most frequently in the rural
communities Here is the answer.
No town in Maine is large enough to
raise a sufficient sum OF money to conduct
an effective campaign to advertise that
particular town. The sum of money re-
quired is so large that TO raise it would
be to impose a burden on the business
men that would be too great. The only
way in which such town can get any
of the benefit of an intelligent and Ell
fective advertising campaign is to JOIN
hands with other towns of the same
class and let the money and energy OF
ali the towns combined be used in the
business world Then. in place of a few
small and entirely unnoticed ripples on
the surface of the business pool, there
will be a churning of the waters that
will compel attention. 1t won't be Just
one big splash and then return to the
quiet of former years
The Develop Maine Movement is pure y
an organization to give effect TO sueh
cooperation. 1t will conduct an intelh-
gent and effective campaign to advertise
Names resources and opportunities and
will use an expert business getter to go
out and use the personal appeal element
in inducing capitalists and business men
to invest and locate in Maine. Every
man, however humble his walk in lfe'
will derive direct aud material beneht
from such a campaign. Every man can
afford to invest one dollar in such a
project. The campaign for $4,000 mem
bers is now on and if you haven't al
ready Joined. send your dollar together
with your name. address and business, to

off the little finger of his left hand
while at work in the meat room of his
