A FREE 'AD"
 FOR ARIZONA
x. w. Aver and Son, in Printers Ink, Give It One of the Best the State Has Ever Had-In Paper of Wide Circulation.

Arizona never had D better advertise ment than that given the state in the May 27 number of Printers Ink. It is the advertisement of N. w. Aver and Sons. one of the greatest advertising agencies in the world. This agency always uses the first page, that is the outside page of Printers Ink and as much more space as is necessary to say what il has to say. This advertise ment does not cost the state a cent.
 Under a picture of cowboy in the foreground. the rising sun and cactus in the background the advertisement goes on to say under the head of "Ari- zona's Awakening that the picture is the terderfoot conception. The real facts set forth are as follows:
 Arizona can't give us any advertis ing; so we propose to give some to Arizona.
 If there's a state in this Kingdom of the common people that needs adver- tising. it is this same Arizona. In ten derfoOt geography. it is written down as q land of sun. sand and sagebrush," and you've never seen a picture of 1t that wasn't all cowboys and cacti. red skins and rattlesnakes.
 All of which iS-well, not the triTCfi, the whole truth. and nothing but the truth. about the state. For know you that Arizona possesses some wonderful resources.
 Take the climate-every variety of desirable climate from the year rounS cold of snow capped mountains to trop- ical. As a atmosphere health re- sort. Arizona rivaIs Upper Egypt-or will. when she puts her story into proper advertising form.
 And as for Scenery-well. for in- stance. where is the magnificent Grand Canyon of the Colorado? Nine chances out of ten. you'll guess wrong-for it's in Arizona. every foot of it, Advertised as it deserves to be. you would not be satisfied till you had trekked out to see it.
 some of the largest copper mines in the world are here. too. Silver. gold and precious stones are a valuable side line.
 With an area that could cover all New England and New York. there wasn't much doing in an agricultural way until the water came-through the irrigation ditches. Now. this vast tract is just blossoming out in the most lux uriant way.
 Arizona is still in the experimental stage commercially. just awakened to her opportunities-but she has found out several things for sure. She can grow citrus fruits of all kinds and get first to market with them-weeks
Arizona republican., 1915-06-01

ahead Of California on oranges. lem ons. Hines and so on. (Advertisihg would help in the marketing-would find the markets and get premium prices.)
 Arizona raises better quality figs than Syria. and her dates surpass those Of Algeria in taste.
 she grows alfalfa in bumper crops six and seven a year. She raises the prized long staple cotton used in the manufacture of thread, the same kind of cotton which we import from Egypt at the rate of 55.00O, 900 pounds a year.
 Then, there are the ostrich farms, with about five thousand birds. Salt River Valley Is the greatest place in the world for raising ostriches-its dry clear air and sunshine produce finer feathers than come from Africa. And, incidentally. these war times afford a chance to put the Arizona feather in- dustry up front.
 This is Arizona in synopsis.
 When it comes to manufactures she ranks among the and other states" Yet she manufactures goods worth more than $5O.0OO,OOO a year-a 9 Der cent increase over the previous five years.
 What the state most needs is popu- lation-she has about 24O,00O all told or two persons to every square mile of soil. It is good stock to begin with mostly American. with ninety-seven out of every hundred farms and ranch es held by white men, and eighty out of every ninety-seven owning the land. In the country, it's a long way to t,E nearest neighbor, but the cities and towns are as up-to- the minute as the East.
 Tt is part of our business to know Arizona as intimately as We know the other states. Our dealings thus far have been mainly to hitch up an out side selling plan to the Arizona mar ket. We are prepared to take the oth- CT enG-to advertise an Arizona pro- duct to the nation"
