I CONFERENCE RESULT MAY BE COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING OF N.-W. Meeting Called to Perfect Or ganization to Make Broad Publicity Campaign, PORTLAND REPRESENTED Will rirst Direct Attention to Traffic! Chamber of Commerce of Worth wast May Be tlia Ontcoma. Cooperative advertising of all Pa cific northwest scenic features may result from a conference held at the Arctic club In Seattle, Saturday, at which representatives from 10 com munities were present. George E. Hardy, executive secre- tary of the Portland Chamber of Com merce, represented Portland. I The conference decided to call a ' meeting to be held in the Arctic club, September 6, to which representatives of all railroads, steamship lines, hotels and commercial organizations in the northwest will be Invited. j An endeavor will be made to perfect , an organization that will do advertis ing on a broad scale for this entire sec tion of the country, the association absorbing the expense, which will be divided pro rata. Attention will probably first be dl- reeled to the tourist trade, a publicity ; campaign being wared in npreading the fame of the northwest's scenic attrac tlons. Instead of a single community pub- i lihhlng booklets and upending money i on advertising for its purely local at- i tiactlons It is pruposi U to consider the ' northwest as a wholo in the belief that the tourist does not Journey west to ee one particular ttilng but is interest ed in the entire western country. It Is posslhlo that a chamber of' commerce of the northwest may spring from the cooperative campaign, and that it will maintain tourist bureaus lu the east.
