Lewis, contractors, to distribute
them, along with other kinds of
advertising, in every community
of Montana, where t h ere are
prospects of visitors. In f a ct,
they are using a mailing list to
reach prospective out-of-state
visitors. Points to be reached will
include Minneapolis, Spokane,
Pocatello and Salt Lake City.
Such information as Brown
ing's proximity to Glacier Ma

Highways No. 2 and 80 and the
Great Northern Ry. stands to
urge many a summer tourist to
head for this section of the great
Northwest. Contained on the ro-
dec bill, it should help to add to
the number who probably are
making their first trip west.
1t has been proposed that any,
one having names of prospective
visitors they wish bills sent to, to
