presenting a reliable and authentic
story of the town and vicinity. This
booklet is distributed through the
Chamber to the many hundreds OF per-

section In addition to winning favor
able comment because of its attractive
ness the booklet has been the means of
creating a material interest and Will go
far toward bringing new residents to
this section. Every personal effort is
made through Secretary Hill and his
staff to provide information to the
scores of potential immigrants who are
seeking data and a new land in which
to make their homes.
