LET US START THE BALL
ROLLING! n :

Holyoke has an excellent free camp
ground with all OF the modern con
veniences that induce tourists to stop
but il these advantages mean nothing
if the tourists are not told of its de-
STABILITY as stopping place and they
make no effort to stop here. Live
cities along the main highways are
putting out signs and literature call
ing the tourists attention to their
city and camping grounds, They all
know that it pays for each tourist
who stope makes some purchases and
many who are seeking new locations
become interested in the city.
Holyoke should do the same. Every
business man. without exception will
favor such action, but one or two can
not and will not do it. The CONNER
cial Club. which should have rep
resentative from every business in
the city. should take this matter into
consideration and help further the in
terests OF the city.
If the Club is dormant, why not re-
vive it with a get-to- -gether meeting
and smoker where all business and
personal friction could be laid aside
and the interests of the city discus
sed. Holyoke needs an active Com
mercial Club and every business is
suffering to a cetrain extent from the
lack OF live and pushing organiza.

The newly designated Harding Me-
mortal Highway, a trans-continental
highway is to pass through Holyoke
over the D. L, D. route and the sum-
mer season will bring more tourists
through our city than ever before.
A great many of these tourists will
be seeking new homes and if we are
to reap the benefits that are possible.
some of these homeseekers must be
shown the advantages and possibilities
of this county and be induced to set
Ne here.
This is the work of the Commercial
or similar civic organization and the
people in general interested in Hol-
yoke and this county, and plans for
the starting of this seasons cam
paign should be formed now before
the stream of visitors begin to flow
through onr city. Phamplets point
ing out the chief advantages and feat
ures of Phillips county should be
printed and placed at points east and
west all along the highway so as to
interest those passing through our
city and community. Holyoke and
Phillips county have many features
that will interest homeseekers. Our
reasonably priced land and abundant
crops coupled with our wonderful
climate, being the chief advantages.
But the homeseekers must be inter-
ested with descriptions and details
regarding them or they will pass on
through without knowing.
