sources Of S25S,S71.38, deposits

money spent annually on va
cations in Arizona. 1t has been
said that this figure reaches ap-
proximately ten million dollars,
With Arizona's many scenic
places of diversified interests, II
will be a real trade stimulant II
this money is spent in Arizona,
thereby assuring the people of a
better vacation, more rest per
hour away, with cool climate
and scenery which cannot be ex-
celled anywhere.
Reports received by the Arl-
zona Trade Developers show IN
creased business by our leading
state manufacturers in sales
made to Arizona people, which
shows that a greater volume of
business transacted in Arizona
is finding its way through state
trade channels.
The Arizona Trade Develop
ers made up of state manufac-
turers, distributors, merchants
and producers of Arizona will
conduct an Arizona Products
Arizona Merchants" Week the
second week in each month of
the year. From the results OBJ
tanned through these campaigns
it is shown that the people of
Arizona are developing a con-
sciousness to home buying as
they have all to gain in buying
Arizona products and patroniz-
ing Arizona firms, which keeps
their money circulating in Ari-
zona and benefits all lines of
business and agriculture.
