 Gray talked to a Review representa- ! tive yesterday relative to the proposed ! advertising and the recommendations !
 which he will make and said Since
 the last meeting of the board of sup ! eryisors ] have looked al a number !. of books and ascertained the cost. The | one that appealed the most was issued | by the Nayapai County immigration | Commissioner but it is smaller than what we shall require. both in size of | page and number of pages. Their ! issue was 25OOO and that is the num- 1 ber l shall advise for this county, The book that l shall propose is in i size 6 by g l-2 inches with the printed l. page { l-2 by l-2 inches, the same ! size as the Warren Disrtict booklets ] ! that our own Commercial Club is now using But it would contain 70 in- stead of 24 pages of which 15 or more would be half tone illustrations The , subject matter will be divided into { general county article on wealth. re- ! sources, etc.. and separate articles on each of the three valley each treated as to agrucultural possibilities and ! methods, each city and town of m- l portance and it's industries and attrac- 1 tions Every Commercial organiza- ] tiou of the county will be furnished | win enough of these books to meet 1 it's needs, they will be placed where | they will reach exposition tourists iu | San Francisco and San Diego and also | in the offices of the Commercial clubs | at Phoenix Yuma and Tucson and ] further distributed through the rail | roads and other such agencies.
 About five years ago a very hand some book was printed by this spun ! ty. It was. however. printed on very | heavy papers which added to its cost and 10 the expense of mailing It contained large panorama pictures ot l Bisbee, Dougles and Tombstone which | added to its attractiveness and to it's
 cost as we'll This book cost over S1,600 for 5000 copies Our proposed
 effort will be much more modest than
 this. It will not be nearly SO elabor-
 ate but l think it will answer the
 purpose as we'll or better, go five
 times as far and will not keep the
 various commercial organizations poor
 for postages as would the larger and
 heavier book
 "I made a special rip to Douglas to
 talk over this plan with Oscar Coll.
 of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce.

 this county and he agreed with me

For nearly hve years the county has ] been without any distinctive literature 1 except the Review Mining Edition and that covered other sections Oi l the state as we'll In that five years l conditions have changed materially l and agricultural possibilities hay, ] passed from he purely experimenta and problematical to the proven h Il many sections of the three valleys | Here in Bisbee the changes have beer l ! especially noticeable and a compari l son with the Bisbee section of the OlD ! county book and the last book issuer
