    The Store for Holiday Trading
Y Y. I,and Show Discloses
a Lack of Oregon
Literature
W e are now, and have been,
showing the most complete stivk
o f Holiday (iotxls ever brought to
Redmond. The stock was Ixmght
with the aim to have a line of
goods that would make suitable
presents for the young as well as
the older people. A visit to our
store will convince you that we
are stating FACTS in making the
above assertions.

Change in Manner
of Publicity
In speaking of the big land
show at New York City a special
dispatch has the following to say
regarding the scarcity of litera­
ture from this state, and particu­
larly from the central part:
One grievous fault there was.
which the Oregon Development
league and all good Oregon
l>oosters should prevent being re-
I>eated. In all the big show,
where tons of literature were
distributed, all that the land
seeker could get that concerned
Oregon were the 'Oregon Bul­
letins” of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads and
the lone publication of one Ore­
gon real estate firm. They were
excellent, but entirely inade­
quate.
Oregon has boasted, with good
cause, of her great generosity in
the direction of publicity. It is
understood that sundry Portland
business men at times even go so
far as to complain of what they
choose to style the unnecessary
prodigality of the local publicity-
organizations. Yet Oregon needs
exert herself if she is to keep
even near the head of the pro­
cession in the strenuous advertis
ing race. The states of the east
are accomplishing wonders. Few
Pacific Coast enthusiasts realize
quite what an effort the Eeastem
territory is making not only to
keep at home its sons but to re­
call many of those who have
migrated beyond the Mississippi.
All this was brought home dis­
tinctly, and perhaps not pleasant­
ly, at New York’s first land show
by Oregon’s inadequate showing
in the field of publicity literature.
The men in charge of the rail­
road advertising work, when
asked the “ why” of the unfor­
tunate situation, replied that for
months previous to the show they
had plastered the state with ad­
vance literature concerning it,
particularly requesting all the
local commercial bodies to place
in their hands an ample supply
of leafets concerning their par­
ticular towns or sections. Not
a single community replied. As
a result it was practically im-
possible for the visitors at the
land show to get, immediately,
information to take home con­
cerning the locality he or she was
interested in.
A talk with several of the
leading railroad publicity men
develoijed the fact that they,
too, are o f the opinion that the
day of elaborate and expensive
publicity literature is drawing to
a close. A splendid Isjokletis an
■'
admirable medium. Also, it is
an expensive luxury. The con­
sensus of opinion, then, seemed
to be that instead of getting out
a limited numlier of large adver­
tising publications, it would be
far better to publish an enor­
mous quantity o f small and inex-
l>ensive leaflets, setting forth
simply “ the facts in the case. “
