Another advertisements for Arizona
which will have as nation wide circu-
lation and which will cost nothing ap
pears in the issue of Golfers maga-
zine for January Is, 1t is a cartoon
picture of a beautiful girl clad in
bathing suit about to take a plunge
in a little water hole in the middle of
background, a rattlesnake beside the
pool and the skull Of a long defunct
cow lying near by. The wording un-
der the picture reads, Miss Arizona
takes a correspondence course in
swimming preparatory to entering the
beauty contest next summer at At
lantic City"
j. w. Tardy president of the Bor-
derland Climate club of Douglas, has
written letter to Golfers thanking
them for their cartoon and calling
their attention to a number of things
for which Arizona is noted. The letter
reads:
January IA, 1927.
P. F.. Collier & Son Co..
250 Park Avenue,
New York City, New York.
Gentlemen:
The writer of this letter has always
been reader of Golfers and has
always enjoyed everything in it, but
with your recent issue of January Is
we are pleased more than ever, for it
was with pleasure that We noted that
you are now, through a cartoonist,
Calvert, helping us to advertise the
wonders of the baby" state.
Some time ago this city organized
IL ID 81,
mate club, the purpose of which is to
nationally advertise Douglas, and,
along with Aimee, we see you are
making our road much easier for us;
kind of preparing the people of the
United States, as it were, for our adj
yertising that is to follow.
Of course, we think that you might
have made your rattlesnake and dead
COW skull just a little less prominent
and your "old swimmin' hole" with a
little more water, but in this instance
we will admit that our wish might
have been father to the thought. At
any rate, in the words of Henry Ford,
we do not care what you say about
Arizona, just so you say it.
We take this occasion to thank you
for this free publicity, and assure you
that it is highly appreciated and as
soon as our finances will permit us to
take on another magazine, Golfers
will be given extra consideration. In
the meantime, keep up the good work;
write about Miss Arizona as much as
you will, for we can assure you that
she is positively the loveliest creation
in the United States, and at Atlantic
City she will stand out among those
"wet babies" like a million dollars in
a "nigger' crap game.
To show our appreciation for your
we are enclosing one
of our illustrated booklets of Douglas
and surrounding country In it you
will find some excellent pictures of
number of varieties of fish. A word
of explanation about these fish we
think most prope r just now. The
booklet failed to tell the public that
these are "gill-less" fish--the young
est of them having never seen water,
and most of them having been caught
in an Arizona desert mirage. The
Mammoth cave has it's eyeless fish,
and Arizona has it's gill-less fish This.
one thing draws thousands of tourists
to Arizona annually, and they all go
away singing the song, "Ain't Nature
Grand?"
Have your cartoonist pay us visit,
and just the sight of these fish, we
assure you, will repay him many
times for the trip.
Again thanking you and trusting
that you will keep the good work up,
we are,
Yours sincerely,
BORDERLAND CLIMATE CLUB.
