ADVERTISING PAYS
douglas DiSpatch)

Douglas is receiving the bene-
fit of the advertising campaign
which has just recently been op-
ened by the Borderland Climate
club. A group of enthusiastic and
far-sighted citizens joined in sub
scribing sufficient money with
which to advertise this city and it's
charms in a trio of nationally read
magazines. The three publica-
tions seem to be read even more
than nationally, for already inqui-
ries have been received from
points in foreign lands. The ad-
vertisements, which will be publi-
shed for number of months in
each issue of the publications are
bringing results. That is, to date
more than 300 persons have shown
interest enough in the advertising
matter concerning this city and
the surrounding territory to write
here for more complete informa-
tion regarding Douglas. Of those
300, so records which have been
kept of the. advertising results in
other cities Similarly advertising,
have shown, about 80 will come to
Douglas, either ON a visit or to
take up residence hereA Already
the first person brought to this
| city through advertising has arri-
we'd and taken up residence here.
Which brings to the fore a SER
ious matter now facing the pros
perity holders in Douglas, and
those seeking investment. Douglas
is faced with a shortage of homes.
Furnished houses are at premium,
and unfurnished properties, suit
able and desirable, are hard to Sc
cure. One man now in this city
has for several days sought to find
a small furnished home in which
to establish his family. He is en-
ployed, and will no doubt become
permanent resident. The hotels
of Douglas are daily filling up
all their available rooms, the tran
sient trade and the auto todrists
coming TO Douglas in ever increas-
ing numbers. Already plans for
another hotel, of the tourist type,
are being considered and discussed
by those interested in the future
OF the city.
Soon furnished apartments, mo-
dern and convenient, will be at a
premium and Douglas, facing such
The Winslow mail., 1926-12-03
With Other Editors

a condition will probably loose sew
e1al prospective citizens before the
thing is righted. Douglas may
expect, within the near future, the
start of a building boom. A hotel,
more residences and modern furni-
shed apartments will be erected,
must be erected in fact, if the city
is to take proper advantage of the
advertising now being carried on
for the city. The sum Of the money
being expended will not be wasted
at all, if the prospective residents
drawn to the city are able to Sc
cure homes in which to reside.
Some citizens have pointed out
that Douglas will have to lose the
first of the persons drawn here by
the advertising before others will
begin to realize that a building
program must be mapped out and
carried to completion. Every per-
son who is drawn here as a result
OF the advertising, or through any
other means and who fails to find
suitable home here, will be, in
stead of a booster" a 'knocker."
Any city, or community, any area
seeking to draw others into the
confines Of it's city limits cannot
afford to have people turning away
from the city and advising others
to stay, due to lack of housing
facilities.

and make your preparations. Let
every detail be gone over again and
again that no mistakes are made
and no one forgotten. The neg

causes pain and injured feeling,

In this land of plenty, where
gpdfearing people reach out to
help each other; in Arizona where
goodfellowship prevails the year
around there should be no sorrow
during the Yuletide season. The
civic societies whose duties it is
to provide for the less fortunate,
have unlimited resources from
which to draw-the successful citi-
zen who never fails to respond
Let these organizations commence
at once to formulate their plans,
gather their data that none be for
gotten. The schools and churches
should at once decide just what
form their activities are to take and
make their schedules. Don't pro-
crastinate.

membered, and that is the greatest

male when she is willing" no
more need be said. When, to
Blue Boards palpitating proposal,
the girl admitted she was willing,
she meant that she had had her
eye on just such a happening since
first she saw him, and that her
only wonder was that he had
lodged her so long. Suffice is it
to say, or should be, that the
twain were wed, and hied them
selves to Blue Boards villa. He
proved to be an obliging and reas-
onably good-natured old duffer,
and only on one point did he make
an issue, j. e.. that a certain clos
ct set aside ostensibly for his fish
ing tackle should never be pried
into. Well, you know how they
are. At first the new wife was
content merely to wonder what
was in that closet, but finally it
got to be something in the nature
Of a thorn in her side. At last one
day when the king had to go west
to Cincinnati for an Inauguration
and fish fry, she determined to
ease her curiosity. With a bunch
of old keys and a fire ak she made
her way into the closet, when her
eyes popped out in astonishment
at a most engaging sight. There,
