Each Town It's Own Advertisement.

In these days when thousands of peo-
Pile are travelling through the country
in motor cars every town is its own ad-
vertisement We have often heard the
complaint made that poor impression
is gained of almost every town or city
by view from car window. This is
true. The fronts of business blocks are
seen, the attractive residential sections
are in some distant background and
the surroundings Of the railroad sta
tions usually present dirty appearance.
But the automobilist gees into the very
heart of the town. and if he likes the
outlook in the business section he will
ask about the special attractions and
beauty spots of the community and hunt
them up. If a mans schedule is limited
and he only passes" through towns like
Bethel. Me, or North Conway, y. H, he
gets an impression which Is appealing
