MORE TOURISTS
COMING SUMMER
Experts Claim Trend of Travel
Will Be to Americas Play
grounds

Tourist travel during the coming
summer will be more towards play
grounds of the United States and
less towards Europe according to H.
C. Hotalirg, secretary of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
Association and state tourist COM
missioner.
Mr.. Hotaling bases his opinion on
information which he has obtained
from travel experts and advertising
representatives of some of the ma
TONS leading magazines. According
to this information European travel
has dropped off in recent weeks from
80 to 40 per cent. Steamship lines
which year ago were kept busy are
now experiencing exceptionally light
traffic. Those who are in close touch
with the situation are of the opinion
that it means a swing of tourist
traffic from Europe to the play
grounds of America.
According to advertising experts
there has been a decided decline in
the amount of foreign travel adver-
Using used this year. There will be
no reduction in the amount of adver-
Using which summer playground
states will place, and there will pro-
badly be more than usual, says Mr..
Hotaling.
In the three Great Lakes states,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
which are considered the most popu-
lar of the nations summer play
grounds, there will probably be more
advertising activity than ever before
according to Mr.. Hotaling. Michigan,
which last year spent 100000 in at
tracing tourists will have a like
amount for 1880. Wisconsin intends
to increase her advertising activities.
1t is the plan of officers of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
Association to conduct a campaign
equal to or better than that of any
past year, and this, coupled with the
fact that fewer Americans are going
abroad this year should mean a ma
terial increase in the tourist business
for the state during 1880.

Attracting Redwood Falls Folks to

Being of series of chats with Redwood
Falls businessmen in which they told how
they increase their volume of sales.
7 AVE you watched of Redwood Falls
n citizens go riding off away from Redwood Falls
to do their shopping? Have you watched
them come riding back, loaded up with supplies
Have you ever while you watched wondered why they
passed up your stores right here in Redwood Falls
Sure, you have So have all of us, whose first and
deepest interest is in Redwood Falls.
Yes, we've watched. And we've wondered And
we've felt badly about the fact that these good ctiz
of Redwood Falls chose to shop outside Of Red
wood Falls.
1t isn't that you merchants of Redwood Falls don't
offer shopping just good those of the
stores in the nearly bigger towns No, that's not at
all the Your merchandise is just good
Your service too, is every bit good Maybe better
One is that the nearby bigger towns do
better job of attracting of Redwood Falls citi
to their stores
Your job, then, you merchants of Redwood Falls
is to do attracting of your
Puzzled wondering won't do it. Neither will mere
talk. But advertising will. Not only your adver
Using. But the advertising of the manufacturers
whose goods you try to sell, well.
Your immediate job, as you well see is to get
into your local. home newspaper the advertising aid
of the manufacturers whose goods your shelves
And you help get this aid easily enough.
After all, merchandise can be sold only in ratio
to the amount of selling effort expended Advertising
is selling effort. 1t performs all the functions of SELL
ing but that of supplying the personality which the
merchant himself does.
One of these days, maybe today, you'll be visited
by the statesmen of the manufacturers whose goods
you stock. Whenever they come interest them in Red
wood Falls. Interest them that they stay interested
Interest them that they'll want to interest their
sales managers.
Once you've injected this interest into the sales
men, it will spread And spreading it will prove
tremely helpful in bringing into your local. home
paper the advertising support of the manufacturers
whose interest it is that you sell of their goods
Once you've got this advertising support, you'll
have decided advantage in attracting Redwood Fall
ties to Redwood Falls stores. You need the advertis
rg aid of the manufacturers whose goods you stock
urge their statesmen to recommend your local home
newspaper.
This newspaper has joined small town
papers all over the country in a nationwide
campaign to convince national advertisers that
they can best assist small town merchants by

Judging Others

ourselves in his place. But how many of do it :?
How many of US make conscious and determined eff
fort to be fair in estimate of the other fellow?
In a recent article, DIR. Glenn Frank quoted an
unknown author who has set forth some thoughts in
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1930-01-22

this connection which worth repeating, as follows
"When the other fellow acts that way, he is ugly;
when you do it, it is nerves.
when the other fellow is set in his way he's OBJ
stinate; when you are, it's frmness.
"When the other fellow treats someone especially
well, he is toadying; when you do it's tact
'When the other fellow takes his time, he is dead
slow; when you do, you deliberate.
"When the other fellow picks flaw, he's cranky;
when you do, You discriminating.
when the other fellow says what he thinks, he
is spiteful when you do you frank" and so on.

yardstick which in measuring our neighbor

Banker Dawes Forsees a Banking
Monopoly

Henry NJ. Dawes, brother Of Ambassador Charles
Dawes OF upside down pipe fame. foresees q m~onopol-
tstic control OF banking IN the United States. He is a
former comptroller Of currency and reputed to be an
eminent ~financier. Addressing q conference Of bust
ness men In Wisconsin, he said:
mo plan has been devised by which chain banking
can be stopped after it becomes a menace. Its uiu-
mate result viii be the substitution Of centralized
and. I fear. eventually monopolktic control Of bank
ing as c~ontrasted with the present system Of local in
dependent nationally coordinated."
re predicted the independent banks would not sur
vtve the competition OF the chain and explained that
the question OF chain banking is correlated to the
government temperament and extent Of the United
States.
He further said that centralized groups made for
safety and efficiency will not stand up under an
alysis." as q comparison Of the chain bank and the
chain store cannot be made because one deals with
commodities and the other with credit"
In the long ago Hickory Jackson had the battle OF
his civic life with old Nicholas Biddle. the Mussolini
OF the bankers and the banking system Of the jack
sonian period. Old Hickory won his battle.
Perhaps If the Dawes menace appears and seeks
control, another Hickory Jackson will come to the
surface. and there will be another battle royal for the
control OF currency and credit.
Now Is the time for q Texas candidate, gifted with
a wild Imagination and a glib tongue. to turn loose q
new issue.
