Advertisement and Publicity.
A great deal Of literature descrip-
tive Of Lubbock and the South Plains
country has been distributed during
the past year, and hundreds Of in
quiries have been answered. Numer-
Gus parties desiring information re-
garding this section have visited our
office, and have been courteously re-

and County Agricultural Agents Of
flee, which has called forth many
complimentary expressions during the
past year.
Several quarter, half, and full page
advertisements for lubbock have
been carried in the newspapers Of the
oil fields Of West Texas. among them

Believing that such an advertise

purchased the entire page allotted to
Lubbock in the Memorial Edition Of
''The Texas National Guardsman"

our appreciation of the splendid Of
flee facilities furnished US without
charge during the past year.

the mental and moral force of those !

our community at heart, that consti- /

real community dividends accrue.

set out constitute all Of the
real dividends resulting from that
greater investment. There is not an
