Mass Telling
is
Mass Selling
BY E. V. Graham

People usually demand what they
pay for-even winter vacations II
you question this statement just
sit in one of our hotels, guest
ranches or resorts in the midst
of group Of winter visitors dur.
ing a period when we have had
five or six rainy and cloudy days
in row. They want their sun
shine That's the reason they
came to Arizona. Well, we agree
with them-besides the fact that
the customer is always right (and
winter and summer visitors are
Arizona's best customers).
Goodness knows we can't abso-
lutely guarantee that we will have
continuous sunshine every day
however. we can definitely
promise anyone that our spells of
rainy weather are few and far be-
tween Some discontented visitors
say, I'VE have overcast skies and
rainy weather at home" They for
get that along with the rain We
still offer them warm climate.
They don't have to go bundled up
In ear muffs and heavy overcoats
or be worried about their radiators
freezing up. Furthermore, if they
only knew what several days
rain would do for this country in
the way of grasses, desert and
mountain flowers and other forms
of greenery, they would rejoice be-
cause nature is literally setting
the stage" for their benefit
These few words are certainly
not written in a critical manner as
concerning .our winter visitors,
only to assure them that the re-
cent weather has been most "un-
usual and we might also add that
although we have had some rain
and cloudy skies, weather reports
show we still are offering better
weather than can be found any
here else in this country.
Incidentally, although we talk
about our natural scenic beauty,
western atmosphere, border intri-
que, prehistoric ruins, etc. as pri-
mary tourists attractions, when We
skip a few days sunshine we
quickly learn the thing which is
of primary Importance to the
visitor-warm winter sunshine.
Our other attractions are well and
good and unequaled anywhere else
in the world and the winter visitor
or summer visitor wants to see
them-but he wants the sun as a
companion.
