WILL ADVERTISE THE GULF
COAST


II President James L. Cawthon, Of
the Gulf States Fair, held at Mobile.
can accomplish it. the territory repre-
scented by this fair viii put on the
most effective advertising medium
this. season that has ever been at
tempted by sending an exhibition car
to the northern states exhibiting all
the products of this, the richest agri-
cultural and horticultural section Of
the United States.
Mr. Cawthon might be considered
dreamer by some, so he is, but Of
the class OF dreamers who make
dreams come true, and dreamers Of
Mr. Cawthons calibre are the builders
of the Gulf Coast tomorrow.
Mr. Cawthon's position as head of
the Gulf States Fair is no small boy 8
job, and he has proven his ability by
making the Gulf States Fair the big
gest exhibition of its kind in the ter
ritory bordering the Gulf Of Mexico.
True, the Gulf States Fair represents
the most productive territory of the
Gulf Coast, but If 1t We're not for the
untiring efforts Of Mr.. Cawthon and
the men whom he Is able to associate
would lose most of its effectiveness.
This new project is another inspira-
ton Mr.. Cawthon has in which he has
conceived the idea Of an exhibition car
to be sent to the northern states to
better convey the idea of what we have
in the way of an attractive place to
build home, both from the monetary
cosideration, as well as the natural
environments which constitute real
home.
This car will have a general exhi-
bition. displaying all the products
raised In the Gulf Coast from Panama
City, Fla, to the central part of Mis-
sissippi, covering a strip of country
about seventy-five miles wide along
the coast. This section is considered
from a climatic standpoint as well as
soils and crops to be one and the
same, and the exhibitions from this
territory are generally represented at
the Gulf States Fair each year.
The car will also have a relief map
made Of the products of this section
and displayed along the whole Of one
side of the car, while the opposite
side viii be used for displaying a fine
exhibition Of products raised, as we'll
as miniature farm homes, showing
dairy farms, orange and pecan groves,
etc.
Mr.. Cawthon's idea also is to send
along two or three men who are capa-
BILE of telling the people what we have
and who have technical knowledge
of the culture OF our Satsuma oranges
and pecans, as we'll as dairying. truck
and general farming.
The car is to be sent to northern
state fairs. such as Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota and the Dako-
tas, also II convenient to visit then
Winnipeg fair. which is one of the
largest exhibitions in western Canada
The car to also visit as many small
cities or five and ten thousand popula-
while traversing this territory.
To finance a proposition of this ma
ture. win require quite little money.
yet IL each large land owner and land
company holding large tracts of land
throughout this section will agree to
assess their holdings only the small
sum OF five cents per acre. sum suf-
ficient to send this car north for from
one hundred to one hundred and TWEEN
ty-flve days, can easily be raised, and
will do more to bring the Gul. Coast
to the very doors Of the people whom
we want to reach, than any other one
thing.
Mr.. Cawthon is very anxious to
know the public sentiment. especially
Of owners Of large tracts of land, and
any encouragement that can be offer
ed will be appreciated. Get your shout
der to the wheel, write MIR. Cawthon
and tell him you are with him on this
proposition, and what you will be will
ing to do from a financial standpoint,
and don't forget that your moral sup
port viii be just as necessary to make
this a success.
