FROM MANY STATES

Positive proof of the success Of the
advertising campaign carried or
throughout the entire United States
by the publicity department of the
chamber of commerce during the past
fall and winter, is offered by chamber
officials in the fact that during last
week every high-class apartment on
their list was filled. The demand for
apartments recently has been SO great,
they said, that every one on their
books was filled and it was necessary
to make another survey TO list addi-
tional ones.
Railroad and hotelmen, interviewed
Saturday, said that the tourist move
ment this year has been heavy before
and has continued into the spring.
Two thousand members of the chamber
of commerce, in recent vote decided
that a continuation of the advertising
campaign on larger scale in the
coming fall should be one of the cham
ber's major activities. The campaign
this year was started late in the sea-
son. and could be continued only for
a few weeks on account Of insufficient
funds. With an early start and more
funds this fall it is believed that the
winter visitors can be more than dOu-
bled.
Learning About City.
San Antonians who travel over the
United States regularly say that this
year for the first time people are talk
ing about San Antonio. When it be-
comes known that they are from San
Antonio. they say the usual remark Is,
San Antonio, that's the place where
golf is played all the year round. You
know, always thought before that
there were only two places in the
United States like that-California
and Florida"
Activities at the San Antonio Tour
lists Club are still in full swing.
While a few of those who took an ac-
tive part in the life at the club dur
ing the middle of winter have been
called home on account of business,
their absence is not noticeable in the
crowd that throngs the clubhouse dur
ing all open hours. The regular week
ly business meeting of the club was
held Saturday. Songs were sung by
the entire assembly and various of the
members were called on for short talks
and stories. 1t was decided that the
meeting next Saturday would be held
at Breckenridge Park in the form of
picnic. The meeting will be held in
the open, under the trees, and a basket
dinner served.
