Interest In Scenic
Photo Contest Is
Increasing in State

Photographs entered in the "See
Arizona" Scenic Photo contest be-
ing conducted by chambers of
commerce of the state this summer
should considerably exceed last
years total of 835, according to
prediction forthcoming from the
Arizona Industrial Congress as the
result of a sharp increase in in
quiries regarding the contest.
Chambers of commerce over the
state which are participating in the
contest for the most part report
definite expansion of interest, due
undoubtedly to the fact that the va
cation season is reaching peak
and vacationists, with full camera
rolls, are beginning to give the con-
test serious thought for the first
time. Urgings that photographs for
the contest be entered early are
also having their effect, and though
few vacationists are returning home
as yet, entries are already coming
in.
Requests for rules governing the
contest have come in recently from
all parts of the state, and large
number of mercantile firms, garag-
es and other establishments have
Joined their chambers of commerce
in urging that every vacationist en-
ter his or her Arizona scenes. The
contest is open to all Arizonans
excepting professional photograph
ers, and any scenic photograph TAX
en- in the state this year, up to
closing date October 1. may be en-
tered Incidentally, the ban on
professional photographs applies
only to the actual taking of the
picture and not to the developing.
In other words. so long as the
"shot" was taken by one not en-
gagged in photography as means
of making money it doesn't mat
ter how, when or by whom the
negative was developed and the
prints made.
Prizes in the contest include
four cash awards amounting to
$1O0. a silver loving cup, and a
handsome camera set Four diff
ferent prizes are offered for the
best individual scenic pictures en-
tered. first prize being $50 cash
and the cup, while the camera set
forms a special prize for the best
group of photos entered by one
person.

Arizona's S Industrial
Congress Holds Much
Business With State

PHOENIX - Still further in
creases in the amount of business
they are able to divert to state
channels are shown in reports of
their Arizona purchases so far this
year, received from mining COM
panies of the state by the Arizona
Industrial congress, chief sponsor
of the "Trade at Home-Use Ari-
Zona Products" movement.
The report of the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper company at
Inspiration, for example, shows
that it's Arizona purchases have in
creased rs per cent during the sec
ond quarter of 1926. It's total ex-
penditufes for items produced
throughout the state, for the three
months just passed, reached $144,-
600, $116,500 representing commo-
dities used in mnie and smelter such
as power, explosives, printing, cast
ings, ETC., and $27,492 for farm and
manufactured products which were
purchased by the Warrior Cooper
ative Mercantile company.
During April, May and June the
Old Dominion Copper company at
Globe showed 10 per cent in
crease over the same three months
of last year total purchases of Ari-
zona products amounting to $685.
384. The sum represented purchas-
es of explosives, oil, lime, pipes,
casting and fittings. During the
same period of time the United
Verde Copper company at Jerome
expended $196,0O0 for these prod
ucts, which included oxygen, pow
der, hydro-electric power, lime,
brOoms, butter, lumber, etc.
The total business in Arizona for
the Miami Commercial company
during the first half of the present
year was $97,824, Arizona products
reaching $61,188. The bulk of the
purchases consisted of foodstuffs
and household articles, practically
the same as those purchased by the
other large mercantile companies.
Another illustration showing the
improved service of firms in Ari-
Zona and also the improved quality
of Arizona products, a deciding fac
tor in keeping business in the
state, is the report of the New
Cornelia Cooperative Mercantile
company, located at Ajo. The re-
port showed that the company
bought Al per cent of its total pur-
chases from Arizona firms and
merchants in spite of the fact that
a large majority of the items are
manufactured outside the state
About 27 per cent of the total pur-
chases was of Arizona's own prod
ucts. The first half years total
business within the state was $113,-
S91, Arizona products purchased
amounting to $73,471. The various
items making up the latter figure
were as follows: $31, ,128 for meat,
$500 for ice, $4,294 for butter,
and smaller sums that went for nu-
merous other things, such as bev-
erages, printing, books, cheese,
brooms, poultry and eggs, flowers,
candy, grain, honey, flour hay,
pickles and olives and sweeping
compound.
