Durham, n. c., Dec. "A headline
question in the French Broad Hustler
of December 14th was: "Will Hender- 2
sonVille Become Tourist CapitaI?'
answer Yes-if the proper means are
used. The Great Creator has done all
He could do for Hendersonville, in
beautiful scenery, hea1thfuI air, and
pure water. 1t is for man to carry on
the work Of utilizing the great ad-.
cantages, and letting it be kneWn to
| the world. How2 Preparedness agi5a-
| ton and publicity.
| Preparedness is being ready to en-
tertain the guests in the things they
most delight in. You have the Carroll.
ma Terrace, as fine a hotel as
any tourist could wish; the Park
Hill Hotel, and the Kentucky Home,
and good boarding houses In large
numbers to entertain guests. Now go
! in for golf links, tennis courts, and all
those kinds Of amusements that draw
! and hold people who are out for pleas
ure. Give them the pleasure and Hen
dersonville will not be long arriving at
| the Tourist Capital" stage. Hender-
| sonville has long been in a. class to
| itself in its broad streets and side
walks. with their beautiful shade,
trees and rest places along these
pavements. That of itself has been a
drawing card. Now arrange for other
| things to suit other tastes. When q :
man gives house party, or an enter
tainment to his friends he is very cSre= 8
/ full to see that all their wants are an q
tieipated in order that they may enjoy z
] themselves to the fullest extent, so he
provides for their different whims.
| The same policy will work with tour
| lists. It is the only correct policy to
pursue to make HendersonvilIe a hIst-
Ter for the summer and winter Ira vel
! or rather traHe elers
Agitate! Keep thethinE going. Get
up early and talk HendersOnville-
| every man, woman and. child. And sit
up late doing the same thing, if IL is
necessary. Every letter you write H.
! vite some one to come to Henderson,
ville-and bring a friend: or several.
Send Hendersonville literature TO
everybody you know-and a great
many more you do not know. People
are curious to know how they get.
; things; how you got their name; and
they begin an agitation OF the matter.
This is little thing, but it tells i'm
menseIy. Use your town papers by
marking items about Hendersonville's
improvements, new enterprises, and all
these things of public interest, and
send them to somebody at distance.
=, It creates falkland talk about He'll
dersonvi1le. And a great deal Of talk
leads to an investigation.
! Publicity. Keep everlastingly ad-
vertising HendersonVille. It talks for
you while you sleep. Use the papers
in telling what you already have and
what you expect to have and get right
down to having that. Go right into
the heart of the big centers where
the tourists come from and use their
papers In telling them the advantages
of Hendersonville. Do it big. People
in this day like big things, and when
you come down to climate. scenery,
water, pure air, and hustle Hender-
sonVille is a big thing for those who
know nothing about the facts. But It
is worth while to give them the facts.
There are people all over this country
just waiting for you to invite them
to some handsome, happy, hustling
Hendersonville. But you say this will
cost money. Of course it will. Every
! thing of any worth in this life cost
money. But it will be money well
spent. It will pay handsome div1-
dends. 1t is the only way to get what
you want. Go after It.
| But the Hendersonville people know
what to do to make their town the
"TouEfst Capital" Just get together.

read with interest, and great deal
of pleasure, the letter of DR.. John e.
Ennis. of st. Petersburg, Fla, in your
! issue of DECEMBER 14th. He is agitat-

stuff he's writing. AS a booster, DR..
Ennis is good one. In st. Peters

Hendersonvile he boosts St. Peters
burg. That the kind of men to tie to.
| If he will allow me, would call him
| st. Booster of st. Petersburg. But
what has been done can be done again.

That's my faith in the good people OF
Hendersonvi1le. God bless 'em. as Tiny
Tim would say, every one"
Hope you all had very Merry
Christmas, and are ready, with renew
ed courage, hope and determination,
for new start in the New Year to
making Hendersonville the Capital for
Tourists.
