We, in Seattle are ready to work fol
lall interests of the state, and by mix
ing with the men of the eastern cities
we can convince them of our genuine
interests and constructive purpose"
| G. E. M. Pratt, of the Sunset Motor
Company-"Let all pull together in
the great work to be done for the
State of Washington as a whole. Sc
attle is with you. Your problems are
our problems and Seattle will help
you solve them."
| Joseph Black, of the Black Manufac-
turing Company-"We thing the big
gest asset our city has Is constituted
| by the merchants doing business in
] the Seattle territory. Over fifty per
cent Of the trade transacted between
buyer and seller is influenced by per-
sOnal acquaintance. Therefore this
trade relations exclusion will do won
ders to put this market and the mer-
chants on speaking basis and pro-
mote the most pleasant business rela-
tions."
Ralph Stacy. president of the Scan
ldinavian- an-American Bank-"This trip,
with its revelation of the resources in
the State of Washington, is bound to
be of far reaching effect. We in Sc
attic realize that we can prosper only
as the rest of the state of Washington
is built up to share in such prosperity
We expect that this meeting with the
representative men of each section
will strengthen existing ties, and new
friendships will insure still more eff
fective cooperation such as will bring
about general progress for the COM
monwealth."
That Seattle now is prepared to take
the lead in an organized movement for
the development and promotion of
Pacific Northwest products, is the
news brought here by J. L. Mcpherson
assistant to the president of the Seat
tie Chamber of Commerce and Gem
mercial Club, who was a member OF
the party of Seattle visitors.
Mr.. Mcpherson stated that this work
would be carried on for the present
by the Pacific Northwest Products
committee of the Seattle Chamber
This is composed Of about twenty-five
leading Seattle manufacturers and
has been divided into a number Of
different groupes or subcommittee,
each with its chairman and function
to perform. For example there are
suD-committees, on homes. churches,
schools, civic organizations, publicity
merchants and community clubs
These subcommittee will educate the
people on the value and variety of
Pacific Northwest products and then
promote their general use in hcmes
and their sale by business houses.
with your help" said Mr.. McPher
son, I'VE expect to enlarge the scope
of this movement until it is not only
state wide, but exceeds the bounds of
our commonwealth and includes the
entire Pacific Northwest. We want to
know what you are producing; we al
so want to bring about a closer spirit
of cooperation and a closer bond OF
business and social friendship and
helpfulness between the different CON-
munities and sections of the state.
Seattle realizes fully how init
mately related Is its prosperity to
your prosperity That which tends to
the development and growth of the
great inland empire must inevitably
rebound to the benefit of Seattle and
\ IT'S sister cities of Puget Sound. 1t is
' cry truly said that the fhturc growth
end prosperity of any region is de-
| erdent upon its agricultural devel-
o;ment. The land susceptible of agri-
cultural development In western
Washington is limited. i'd we grow
through industrial and traffic eXpan-
sion, We must more and more look to
you for the agricultural products
necessary to the support of the great
