 IN BOOKLET

- ~ e2
 The citizens of Duncan are about to see brought to perfection another project which was conceived and fathered by three of its progressive institutions It is the booklet to be published by Greenlee county. The contract for the compiling and pub fishing of the booklet was let to the firm of Rush & Rush, publishers, of Phoenix, by the board of supervisors at it's meeting on last Tuesday
 The publication of such booklet found the Bank of Duncan, the Farm Bureau and the Chamber of Com merce ready to sponsor the project when the officials met one of the members of the firm of Rush x Rush, and the proposition was put up to them to issue such booklet as most localities in Southern Cal ifornia are distributing to advertise it's advantages to the prospective homeseeker.
 After having gone into detail with T. S. Rush, the senior member of the firm. who is an editorial writer of note, having served on the edi- torial staff of such papers as the New York Sun, Rochester Demo crat Chronicle, Elyria, Ohio. Daily Chronicle and last year the 'manag ing editor of the Evening Review. a California publication, Messrs Jones Gilpin and Fowler, representing the
 institutions mentioned. began to form concrete plans for the publica
 t1on of the booklet. asking Mr Rush to submit plans and dummies for its publication.
 As soon as MT. Rush submitted
 the dummies these gentlemen got
 busy and circulated a subscription 1 list among the business men of Dun
 can and the farmers of the valley l and the proposition met with sucf
 hearty response that $500 was soor
 subscribed. At this point the mat
 ter was taken up with the Clifton Commercial club. and that body wa: i asked to contribute it's share. A i the first meeting no action wa taken by the club, even though ii felt that the project was a meritor ious one. The Commercial club late1 1 called special meeting and invited i Mr. Rush and Duncan representative. or the project to attend, and at thi:
 meeting Capt. J. P. Hodgson of tho ! Phe!ps Dodge corporation Suggeste e ! that as 1t was proposed to make i ! county proposition that the none, | be not raised by subscription, bu | that it be placed upon the budget O ! the county. This was unanimousl, | concurred in by all present. and : ! committee then and there appointed 1 to go before the beard of supervisor. l and request that a sufficient amount i be placed upon the budget to permit | the publication of the booklet The 1 committee consisted of the following Harry Hill of Morenci. ". R. Davis l of Clifton and J. R. Jones of Dun | can. This, with the addition of A i l.. Terry, clerk of the board of SUI | pervisors was finally made q per manent committee to supervise anC carry out the work to completion 1 The committee will decide wha 1 subject matter shall go into tht : booklet as well as what photograph! ! shall grace it's pages In fact it vii ! be up to the committee to see tha : a booklet is published that will le | the easterner tor westerner) home
 seeker know that Greenlee count, ! offers advantages second to none il I the United States.
 ! t was originally intended to puh ! fish a 32-page booklet but as the diff ferent departments began to show Ill ! what they had to enlarge upon. i was found that such a sized book e ! would be inadequate. so it was there fore decided. before the bids wer advertised for. that 4S-paee book
 let should be published. The bes copper-plate half-tone photos will b
 used to let the reader see some O the most beautiful and awe-inspii
 ing scenery that nature has eve produced. as well as some of tn
 achievements of man.
 The committee believes that it vii
 have a booklet in the finished pro
 duct that will be indeed a de lux
 edition and second to none ere
 published by any county or chambe
 of commerce, for the reason tha besides being scholars of recognize
 ability and university men, tn Messrs. Rush are both master prin CTS and have assured the committo that this booklet will have thei personal supervision in the printins i The Duncan Chamber of Commerc already has plans for the crectio of county building on the corne of the Bankhead highway and tb Clifton road, where the Organizatio can have an office and distribat these booklets to passing tourist. and, if possible, induce them to visi Clifton, Morenci and the noriher
 portion of the county 5efoie goin
 on their way.
 | It is the plan of the promoters c this project to keep visitors recor:
 where each tourist passing may r, gister, and the object of his ri through the country ascertained
 and, if he is seeking home, induc him to investigate the advantage of Greenlee county. Furthermore
