EDITOR, The Post-Press.

EDITOR, The Post-Press
DEAR SIR:
have just read an editorial in the evening
paper on Charles Horrworth's justified criticism
of Imperial Valley.
As a hotel clerk coming in contact with tour
lists. may make the following suggestion as an
asset toward attracting and helping visitors.
Get out a map showing the location OF the
interesting places in the valley AND PLAINLY
MARK THE ROADS AND KEEP REASONABLY
PASSABLE AND CLEARLY DEFINED. Desert
driving is different from driving on paved high
ways and a visitor must be sateguarded from
annoyance as much as possible to make his
visit happy and enjoyable enough to make him
tell others about it. That is the free advertising
YOU want and will get from him.
know that such thing is badly needed in
order to make e. Centro something other than
just-a Vegetable town" I have worked at the
Desert Inn in Palm Springs and in other resort
hotels Here you have hours more Of sunshine
than they have in Palm Springs where the
mountain hides the sun in the middle of the
afternoon. And Palm Springs Associates is a
splendid advertising organization to copy.
Please don't think me anything but friendly
and interested in making these suggestions.

The FolIow-Up important
In Holding Tourists

In the adjoining column of Letters
to the editor" today is an interesting
note from G. A. Anderson, clerk at one
of Ell Centro's leading hotels. The let
ter is self explanatory and deserves
reading Also, it opens up train of
thought too long dormant in Imperial
Valley.
Many of the endeavors Of our cham
bers Of commerce, county fair board
and county board of trade are aimed at
attracting new visitors to our county.
Too few efforts are aimed at entertain
ing them while they are here.
We are a bit too self-satisfied, per-
haps. We follow the theory that our
visitors should be supremely happy
merely to exist in the glorious sunshine
of the Winter Garden of America. Once
they arrive here we don't take the trou-
bic to see that they do more than exist.
Advertising our community to the out
side world is extremely important-but
it is also important to make sure that
the outside world enjoys itself when it
does come here. Let's pay more atten-
ton to the local angle hereafter

Bruce Carton Says
- Industry is Willing to Bet on. the Future

Amid all of this talk of econo-

Guilty, there is always the danger
that the nation may lose sight of
the brighter side of the picture.
And there is a brighter side
born not of mere wishful think
ing or Pollyanna optimism, but of
cold figures revealing the extent
to which industry and business have
faith in the future.
In the realm of plant construc-
ton alone, just six of the many
proposed plans of expansion add
up to the imposing total Of nearly
$500. 100000 which is being spent
or will be spent during 1898.
f. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.,
one OF the nations great indust-
rial concerns, has announced plans
/ to spend S38,000000 on new con-
s'ruction during the coming year.
The Aluminium Company OF
America is going ahead with a s26,

year. and announces it will main

Republic Steel Corporation is
proceeding with work on its new
Sl5,O0O000 plant in Cleveland,
undismayed by the fact that the
national steel production rate
right now is at the lowest level
in years.
Industrial Rayon Corporation
is planning to open new $4,000
600 plant in Painesville, O., in June,
and recently announced plans to
build another 100000 pound
capacity factory to cost between
ST ,O0O,O 900 and S10,000000.
The Ford Motor Company is in

Floyd l.. Carlisle, chairman OF
New York, recently announced
hat this public utility would under
take an expansion and building
program to- cost approximately
SIP, 100000.
Many other companies are plan
ing smaller additions to plant or
equipment. And in addition, a
recent survey made from Wash

and modernization of such buildings
as apartment houses, factories
and office structures will total
