Curtis, ap peared In this afternoon's local newspaper, signed - by the "agri cultural voters league." the Iowa branch ot George N. Peek's or ganization of farmers, supporting -the candidacy ot Governor Smith. THIS: Is, we constantly are told, the age of publicity. 'Advertising and particular ly ' nwjspaper a'dvetsing,, is deemed the mainspring of busi ness, that force .which .makes the wheels of industry turn.' No business enterprise, experts de clare; can 'prosper unless' It ad vertises, t In many . cities , and state the .same principle has been applied, with the result that ' one sees, in - various pub lications, ' announcements of what this or that section has to offer. So it is that more than one person has suggested to the New Oregon Statesman that Salem and Oregon should ad vertise nationally. In order to find . out what Salem residents think of this suggestion several persons were questioned Thurs day. This is what they said: ASA MACONATHY, special ty salesman with headquarters in California, said: "With so many advantages of climate and soil. ! as well as water power, I should think Oregon would go ahead and tell the world about them. The reason so compar atively few persons live in this wonderful state Is because Ore gon has not advertised nation ally. The same goes for Salem and this valley. You have the stuff. Why keep it a secret?" MRS. LOUISE KING, form er state president of the Sons of Veterans auxiliary, said: "I think that Oregon and Salem would both prosper materially If national advertisements were printed extolling our unique at tractions. It's time Oregon got to work like California has. and did a bit of boosting along, the same lines. I most emphat-' ically believe In national adver tising for our state and city." our LEON W. GLEASON, prom inent Salem glove manufactur- er. said: "We should advertise by all means. IF we can raise the money. But it's hard to raise money in this country!" 1 1 . MERT HEMENWAY. oneof the proprietors of the Winter Garden bowling al ley, said: "Regular advertising Is a fine; thing and necessary for a community as well as for a private business; but news is the best advertising. By that I mean such news as the Salem drum corps taking secend place in the national contesk at San Antonio; or, perhans. Victory of a Salem team at-tmvjorthwest bowlinx congress this coming winter." DR.; D. X. BEECHLER, den tist, said: "It would do a whole lot of good to advertise our city and state, we don't ad vertise enough. We never have Jeen advertised like California, for example, and It's about time we should be." ; OTTO HOPPES, owner of the Central Cigar1 store, said: "There Is plenty here to adver tise and I think that It should be advertised: If the campaign Is conducted In the right way It would be a good thing. Advertis ing can easily be overdorie. Some advertising for the four basic industries of Oregon -.would be a good thing and shouldhelp the country a lot. jr '' 'J. T. HUNT, f owner Marlon county ! Judge, said: One. "of the best ' ways I know of ad vertising this community is by having good roads so that every attractive section Is readily available: to the motorist.
