Things-Iu Bet You Did
Not-Kn0w, or the Tale Of the
GullibAe Traveller - Minnesota
enjoyed the largest annual
tourist income I'm seven years
=. third largest I'm the states
history 1885 poured 1884,
600 tourists into this state
and they shelled out $0O,5S9,-
600 In the coin Of the realm -.
only Z million behind the peak
Of 1929 We spent $50. 900 for
advertising Marvellous Minneso-
ia In 1885 that amount was
$4,000 California spends
something like (take q deep
breath) 100000 To sell o
&c package of gum the Wrigley
company I'm one site I'm New
York city uses one tenth Of the
1885 Minnesota advertising bill
>. To light one sign Gas
Oline taxes showed an increase
of Is percent over 1884
amounting to 20 times the
amount the state spent for adj
vertising -. (sOme returns,
eh) $186,OOO Is the bill out
of-state fishermen paid for the
license to tackle Minnesota's
lakes i. land some guys want
winter fishing) -. Only 6 cents
of the tourist dollar is spent for
refreshments and souvenirs =.
80 cents Of that cartwheel goes
for recreation .. Efforts were
concentrated I'm the middle and
southwest on advertising =.
Personal contact was establish
ed through various mediums
with ESQ, 900 persons during the
past year ..
Now there are some significan,
acts this corner would like t.
tress. The $186, 900 iron men thai
ourists paid for out Of state licens
$ exceeded by $4,000 the amount
pent upon fish propagation by the
fame and Fish department for the
ntire year. What's wrong with
hat picture? It isn't the first fig
ire. We, in Minnesota, like to see
'ur friends the tourists come-fol
'bvious reasons. And we believ,
hey will enjoy themselves. It mus
q the second figure then. Just how
many fish that represents we dom
now. But 1t is logical to assume
hat propagation has been some
What out of proportion to the mum
'er Of fish taken out. Looking bach
t that license figure again, 1t Il
lot logical to assume that these
ourists are here in the winter. Il
Minnesota is to keep this touris
rade then winter fishing is out o.
Inc, or did your correspondent
wallow a live minnow this morn
ng? Save the fish for Minnesotans
8 the cry Of some. But glance a
his tourist trade bulletin. Can Min
lesota get along without that
We'd hate to.
The very vastness of the resourc
IS Of this nation has been its un
loing. Early day lumbermer
wathed relentlessly through for
SITS that had never been seen II
he Old Countries. In q craze fol
more land, swamps and lakes wer'
ndangered by draining. Now we're
up to the fact that some
hing is going to be missing unles:
ONE conservative measures arr
AIKEN. And they scramble to con
erve our beloved wild life. But II
axes more than a year or two t.
eplace in natures own way what
nan has destroyed in his Big Push
But Nature takes only so much will
lociley. Then she rises up with dust
forms that lay waste mems fields
lrouth that shrivels his forests
hat dry his lakes. Grasshoppers In
est his summers, the floods ruiz
lis homes. He awakens then to the
act that he is not the Gar he once
nor is this thing called Re
ources always steadfastly by his
ide. But dwindles and has a twi
light all of its own.
Lest we forget-With so
many bowl, games all up and
down the nationally not have
a Milk Bowl here In Minneso-
