the stage is really beautiful.
Some of the dancing of the
guests is also to be commended.
The Anne Morgan silver cup

follow are for the Elisabeth Mar

PHILADELP]
The city of Detroit in 1904 turned out manufactured products
valued at ~$l28OOOOOO, In 1910 the value of her manufactured prod
uts was $%25OOOOOOO. An increase 1919. And in 1910 Detroit was
just getting started. In the five years since then she has made strides
even more tremendous
This is what Philadelphia manufacturers want to do-and they
can doit.
Philadelphia in the same period increased its manufactured prod
uct only 800. And has not been doing much better since 1910.
Detroit made this vast gain largely through advertising. Not
simply through advertising the city iBelf-although that helped.
1t was done largely through the advertising of her individual
manufacurers-the advertising of automobiles, stoves, paints, drugs
corses, metal products, overans; advertising which not only made these
industries known, but made them grouU.
Philadelphia has Jagged behind because her individual manufac-
turers have not let the world know about her products.
Philadelphia manufacturers: Read what E. Phil Merrill, of the
~CadnlacMotorcarC Company, Detroit has to say aboutit
Detroit became the hub of the automobile industry
simply by advertising its wares. From the housetopS the cry
was raised, "Made in Detroit and It's Best" and as a result
the town has developed 10 rapidly that Al Aladdin might
have wrought the change. You would ask, "Was it because
of advertising that the city was really NADER" and l reply
with emphasis, "Yesl'
This is how the wonderful city of Detroit gained world
wide fame. Do you know that the SUI never ses on Detroit
made products? This is no exaggeraion. In every country
of the globe Detroit articles are to be had. I do not care
where you tavel, you will find that good, old reliable mark,

great automobile centre, but it has many other great plants
Just for example; Deuoitis famous forts
Automobile manufacturers
Stove works
Paint concerns, likewise manufacturers
Pharmaceutical laboratories
Overall factories
Corsetmaking establishments
And the largest brass and copper rolling mills in the
world.
All of these industries have been advertised broadcast
throughout the land, and as a result nearly every one in this
country and abroad is familiar with the things that Detroit
ersc construct.
Note that it is the industries that have advertised Detroit instead of
Detroit advertising the industries.

an automobile industrial point. With the advent of the
automobile came the demand for proper sites for automobile
manufacturing plants, and as Detroit made itself heard con-
corning its water and other natural advantages, it was not
long before the investors were attracted there. The Autocar,
Ford, Cadillac and Packard automobile companies were the
pioneers, and today you can see the result. 1t all came about
through the wonderful channel of crying your wares, so to
speak. Let the other fellows know what you are doing.
You city fathers, once you attract a good business, hold it.
Reputable manufacturing concerns in Detroit delivered
the product to please the public and the RESULT everywhere
evidenced. Detroit made automobiles like everything else
to please the public. There you are. The establishment
of Detroit as a centre for various industrial plants came
about when men ofmeans took a chance. Again point to
the result: What Detroit has done, other cities can do by
advertising.
Note that he means by the advertising of individual manufacturers as
well as by advertising the city itself.
After an extensive advertising campaign the city of
Detroit prohted to the extent of several automobile manufac-
turing plants-hat was during the early history of the
indusry-and once the firms located, men of wealth took
hold and progression was hBtorymakng.
Philadelphia is admirably situated, and I believe has
more natural advantages than many other cities. The great
city is near the coal fields, has railroad and other tansporta-
ton facilities calculated to be attractive. There isn't any
reason, to my mind, why Philadelphia, with all its beautiful
surroundings, wide streets and other advantages, cannot
become as industraIy we'll known as Detroit. Philadelphia
hasa great right o cry, "The sun never sets on Philadelphia
made goodsl' but the world doesn't know it. One word
sovesthe quesion-advertse.
This is directed to the leading manufacturers of Philadelphia as
Individuals. Note the next statement.

Using factors are the Victor Talking Machine Company and
the Campbell table products firm. These companies adver-
tse the city as nothing else would, unless an earthquake
destroyed the city or some other horrible catastrophe
occurred. 1t pays to advertise. If you do not cry your
wares, who will know what you have to offer?
What will Philadelphia manufacturers do about it?
We have some suggestions which we should be glad to offer to certain
individual firms who can do something. These suggestions are along
this line:

Joy of Country Home Life

royal coloring Of the western sky IS

panse of view is one rarely 10 be had
in the city for lack of proper vantage
ground for observation. There Is a
new sense Of reverence for the Infinite
in the majesty and wonder Of revela-
ton Of a summer sky at night with ITS
millions Of stars, as tremendous
sweep Of uninterrupted vision.
There is a suggestion Of the JOY OF
creation in saying, There will plant
a tree where one has never grown
before. or that patch of barren land
will blossom into a garden of beauty
and perfume under my inspiration. or
a lake will fill that hollow in the hills.
because it will mean my realization OF
dream of years" All this means
much to the man or woman who sees
the bigness and broadness of life in
its true spirit.
To step into ones own garden of
sweetness when the day is gently
dusking into night, to know the flowers
and the birds and TO be Gained by the
quiet splash of the fountain, TO feel
that special kinship with nature, that
peculiar closeness that comes from
feeling that one is walking on ones
own land that the earth itself there
is ones owns all part of country
home.
