Adv:rtis'sf oi His Own Hook
In a quiet sort of a way James O
Smith baa been advertising Medford
and tbe Rogue River Vailay. Tbe
method employed by Mr. Smith is
uoiqns to a way, for he uses souvenir
postal cards to abow tbe beauty and
resooreee of this valley. Mr. Smith
states tbat education le what be la
striving for, be wonld ednoate peo
ple the world over In rega- d to local,
iseonroes, He takes tbe English
speaking world for bie territory and
sends ont hundreds of oards in tbe
course of a ysar.i'not only to friends
bnt to souvenir post card oolleotors,
Mr. Smith recently aotloed aa ad
vettteement la tbe Cbloago Inter
Ooeaa when a young English lad,
W, H. , Adams, by name, desired
postal eaide from America. Mr.
Smith has sent nearly one hundred
oards to tbe young man, whose home
le In Portsmouth, agrees English
seaport and naval base. He believes
tbat tbe edooatioa In regard to
America given the yonng English
lad wtU bear good trait for "Uncle
Sam." If every oitisen la this sec
tion of tbe country would take np
tbe mattte of sending ont cards as
Mr. Smith baa done, no donbt much
good would result to "Unole Sam"
and to the Rogne River Valley In
particular,
Mr. Smith Is great believer in the
nture of Medford, as are ail of Its
good oitlzens. He la receiving a
large number ot orders for building
stone wbicb he q Dairies and be
argues tbat thla means more and
rlner bulidlnse tor thevrr. More
oil Irene of Mr. Smttb'e type, wbo
are willing to spend a few dollars to
advertise tbe oity, is what tbe olty
oeeos.
