PUBLICITY AND ADVERTISING

First. The Rawlins Rodeo Association went
out of existence and is now owned, controlled and
Association. A most successful show was staged
to Cheyenne in the Rocky Mountain Region. No
and well merited the slogan Of being second only
collections were taken for this show from the
merchants or business men. 1t was thought that
membership in the Chamber of Commerce was suf-
ficient to cover what the merchant should give.
For the show of 1923 the Committee had collected
nearly $4,000. 90 from the various merchants and
other outside friends. This amount together with
the total gate receipts were sufficient to defray
all expenses. This year with no money in the
treasury, but with the gate receipts larger than
the previous year, only a deficit of S1S35.72 was
incurred by the Rodeo, which amount was paid
by the Chamber of Commerce. The success of the
show may be judged when 1t Is seen that the
amount of S1S35.72 in 1924 accomplished what the
sum of $4,000 did in 1928. Whether this same
arrangement will be followed out in 1925 will de-
pend on the wishes of the members of the Chamber
of Commerce. Other propositions of financing this
Rodeo will be carefully investigated. The Board
is unanimous in their opinion that the Show is well
worth while: and at present constitutes the main
source of publicity for the city.
Second. The Chamber of has CO.
operated with the Laramie Council of Industry and
the Lander Commercial Club in maintaining at Den
yer during the summers man to direct traffic ov-
er the Rocky Mountain Highway from Laramie
through Rawlins and into Yellowstone Park. This
representative of these Wyoming associations re-
NAMED at the Tourist Camp in Denver. and distrib-
uted literature advertising OF these cities to thous-
ands OF tourists. The results showed that three
times as many tourists passed through the South
Entrance of the Park than in 1923. This means
more people through Rawlins. and greater chances
to sell Rawlins to the outside world.
Third. The temporary headquarters of the
Chamber of Commerce has been located at the Of
flee of Dunlap & Dinsmore. Over 100 pieces Of
mail have chen received in the past five months,
and over 200 letters have been answered by the
acting-secretary to many parts OF the country per-
tanning to Rawlins and Carbon County. To this
office strangers have been directed, and informa-
ton asked for has been supplied where ever posi-
bile with all courtesy and dispatch. Road maps
and maps of Rawlins have been freely distributed
at every request. The facilities OF this office has
been at the disposal of the Chamber OF Commerce
Mt all times.
Fourth. The Board Of Directors appointed L.
w. Dlnsmore TO act as clerk OF the Board until a
suitable secretary was employed. For this service
the Board has allowed 10000 per month. which
sum has covered the cost OF Mr.. Dinsmore's serv-
ices. also stenographer expense. office. telephone.
etc. The Board feels that considerable money has
been saved in this manner pending the employing
OF n regular secretary. and carrying the Chamber
through its organization period.

have more information for its membership in the
near future.
Seventh. Some years ago the old Board of
Trade betrayed the expense of building an air
mail hangar for the Government. This building
cost the Board of Trade S1764.6O. The air mail
is now sufficiently established to own their own
hangar, so the Chamber of Commerce has the mat
sistance in getting a bill through Congress to re-
fund to the Chamber of Commerce the cost of
this hangar.
Eighth. In order that the Tourists coming to
our city may have a better and more attractive
camp in which to stay, the Board has been in COM
munication with the United Automobile Tourists
Association, which provides a proposition for es-
tablishing and maintaining a first-class tourist
camp. The representative of this association will
make n special trip to Rawlins in the Spring to lay
the plan before the Chamber of Commerce.
Ninth. A committee is at work. together with
the legal member of the Board of Directors, to
frame a proper ordinance to be presented to the
City Council, to curb the activities of peddlers op-
Grating in Rawlins without a license. 1t is the
desire of the Board to have an ordnance passed
that will protect our merchants from unfair COM
petition, and at the same time create revenue for
the city treasury. This same committee Is in
vestigating Sunday and Evening closing laws which
are in effect in other parts of Wyoming, with a
view to proper regulation at this point.
Tenth. Through the efforts of the Investigat-
ing Committee Of the Chamber of Commerce a re-
cent case of fraud and imposition was laid open.
and immediate widespread Information issued to
all citizens of the county. The timely action OF
the Chamber of Commerce in this case saved
several thousand of dollars for unsuspecting citi-
zens, and demonstrated one OF the many ways In
which the Chamber can be OF service.
supervised by the Rawlins Chamber of Commerce.
