McGovern oRened a boklet, $4,000
of which he said had been sent out
by the Tucson club, that carries two
pages devoted to the attractions of
Old Mexico for the residents of other
portions Of the United States. He
also pointed out pages of pictures
and descriptive matter given over
to Douglas own Wonderland of
Rocks. which Tucson finds such an
attraction that they devote valuable
space thereon. McGovern declared
that the Wonderland of Rocks is
one of the greatest attractions in
the state of Arizona, and that with
the park right in the back yard of
Douglas" this city should advertise
it to the world. He referred to the
interesting value of Aqua Prieta as
an attraction.
McGovern gave interesting data
with regards to actual results that
the Tucson club had been able to
muster to actually prove that their
plan of advertising pays in dollars
and cents. In 1922, the figures show,
47O persons arrived in Tucson as
result of national advertising.
Those 47O made their homes in Tune
son. In 1928, sos persons arrived in
Tucson as a result of the adver-
tising, and in 1925, S65 persons ar
rived Inquiries came to the club
from every state in the United
States and from nations all over
the world. From France, from India,
/ from Switzerland, from many foreign
climes came families of wealth to
live in Tucson. From all over the
| United States they came.

in every way possible. He said that
