WHEN ADVERTISING COUNTS
(Arizona Gazettel

Advertising the Pacific coast
is doing, far overshadows Ari-
IONA with her more desirable eli
mate and incompatible scenery in
the minds of eastern people when
they are seeking a place to escape
the rigors of winter.
The railroads that reach them,
it is true, give Arizona much pub
licity in their guides. That helps,
but the average person coming west
for the first time depends mostly
upon the advertising that has at
tracted their attention or the re-
ports that are given them by
friends who have been west.
Ninetynine and one half per
cent of the tourists and winter
visitors who have come west here
tofore have gone to the Pacific
coast. All they know of Arizona
is what they have seen of our des-
erts as they have been whirled
through the state That does not
give Arizona much of reference.
Today thousands Of the winter
tourists come through the west in
their cars. They pick out a des-
tination point as do those who trav-
Ell by train. The big majority of
these auto tourists pay little at
tention to the country they traver-
Sc, if they have been sold on a
promise land before they start.
There is only one way for Arizo-
ma to divert a large part of the
westward travel. That way is to
advertise in the travellers home
communities, reaching them before
they plan their destination. The
,,bnly Way that Arizona can
5sibfy carry ION "a consistent 3D.
yertising campaign of this kind
that will be effective, is for the
state to do it as a whole. An
advertising fund should be appro-
'priated in the coming legislature
for the coming two years that will
be big enough to effectively ad-
vertise the climate, the scenery,
the agricultural and industrial adj
vantage that are ours.
This advertising campaign should
be directed by the chambers Of
commerce of the Ia counties so as
to insure that all sections of the
state will receive their share of it
and that the advertising will be
of a kind that will meet the de-
yelopments needed in each sec
ton.
There is only one way to secure
the passage of such an appropria-
ton and that is for every county
in the state to get their Legislators
to pledge themselves to support
such a measure NOW. Send
them to the capitol next month
with instructions that one of the
biggest things they can do at this
time, to add the tax rolls of the
state and the general prosperity
is to provide for the advertising
of Arizona. The surest way to
reduce the tax rate in Arizona ia
to increase the tax roll. The
surest way to increase the tax roll
is to colonize our lands, develop
our resources. The fastest and
surest way to do that is through
the medium of national advertising
campaigns.
