THOSE SPECIAL ARTICLES
GET PEOPLE THINKING

Do you believe in newspaper adver-
tising, Mr.. Reader! Do you know
that without the aid of the newspaper,
we could not properly exploit and
make known the virtue Of any article
or any situation, no matter how wor-
thy it might be, Verify, no man liv-
eth to himself, and none dieth to him
self, and that statement is just as true
and just as practical today as the day
it was uttered in ancient days, and
no medium better serves to make It
true and practical than does the news
paper, which is able to carry our de-
scriptive messages to those with whom
we would communicate, and in the
case in mind, making known the beau
ties and advantages of Western Colo
RADIO, country Of. surpassing beauty
and invigorating climate.
Such has been the mission Of The
Glenwood Post in series Of illustrat.
ed articles recently published, descrip-
tive Of the mountain beauty spots in
the high country contiguous to Glen
wood, where the seeker for health,
pleasure or recreation may easily find
his hearts desire in the rugged noun
tain wilds which Nature has provided.
Eight of these descriptive, illus
trated articles were published in The
Post, and in proof that they were not
us seed fal3ing on barren ground, space
is given herewith to only few Of the
comments from those who were af-
fordcd the pleasure Of reading these
articles:
