As this is a subject which affects practically everyone, Mr. Bab- aon’* statements should be of interest to the reader. f Material Industries Not C.-'V^st * f“When discussing great auiu ries, the common belief is that iuiuaica’s greatest industries are of a material nature. Yet an analysis brings about -the astounding conclusion that - the greatest industry of all is the tpurist industry. Whether one studies the railroad situation, the automobile sit uation, hotel business, or whatever one studies, .it leads to this definite con clusion. It requires only a compara tively few people in the world today i to manufacture the necessities of life. The great bulk of people are enga; in industries which one day were loo of March, 1928, when the books be closed. All person^^ , more than one township are- requested to call for receipts in each of the sev eral townships in which the property Is located. This is important, as ad ditional cost and penalty may be at tached. - Jy . /• .

I see no reason why tourist frts in America should not grow to the most world renowned tourist rts abroad. At the present time spend something like $200,000,000 Canada eveby year, $456,000,000 in rope, and about $100,000,000 in all icr countries. Foreign tourists her# nd probably around $150,000,000 a ar. - This tourist business certainly 4s a t industry and one that we should more and more to cultivate m out wn country. I an* distinctly encour- ged by the broad vision which is be- ng displayed by local chambers of commerce and similar organizations, in giving widespread publicity to the attractiveness (from the touris's standpoint) of their particular sec- tions.

A very conservative estimate for the past year's tourist business in New England is $250,000,000. The state of Maine alone figures tourists spent about $100,000,000 in that state. Over a millien people from other states came to Maine last year for sight-see- ihg, camping, hunting, and various recreations. New Hampshire with its beautiful White Mountains has for Rtgivis. yaajrs been a ‘rueeca’ for tour ists and vacationists, but only recent ly has it developed fame as a winter resort. Some predict that New Eng land will become another ‘Switzerland’ for winter sports, so rapidly is this form of recreation gaining popularity. In the summertime, seashore resorts are attracting increasing numbers to the beautiful New England coast each 1 suits already obtained, show clearly that recreational advertising is very productive. Certainly if a state can afford to encourage in every way its great manufacturing and agricultural industries, it can afford to encourage an industry which is fast coming onto a par with these in point of monetary value, namely, the tourist business. 1927 Shows Increase ■ J -V; ian’s” j By selecting “ ers and Cleaners.

An aggressive pubUcity campaign has been conducted this year pointing out the beauties of southern California. This should bear fruit. I have been particularly impressed also, with the; progressive spirit of the people of this beautilul state. Especially are the newspapers cooperating ip letting La., shows ah estimated increase of 200 per cent. “Two cities report a slight decrease in the number of visiting tourists, but in both cases I find that surrounding cities’have witnessed an increase. In interview recently I made the country know of its many advan tages. In the past year over 124,000 of good roads. This is especially true when one considers the influx of tour ists to sections where pains have been taken to have good highways. The opening of a new million dpllar high way across the Ohio river is given as the reason for the increase in the num ber of tourists to Huntington,'W. Va. “The large number of conventions held this year is stated to have drawn many * tourists to the national capital at Washington. In Fort Wayne, Ind., it is estimated that about two and one- I half million tourists visited the city in Statft mt+ryemf Reduce to a minimum the element of chance on winter's treach- i>roui highways.

The average readily stay was about 36 days. There were, as before, a very considerable number who liked the country so well that they settled as permanent residents. When we consider that the railroads brought in hundreds of thousands more tourists it is easy to visualize the importance of California as a tourist resort. The cbmihg season promises to eclipse all previous records. The Floridians are looking forward to .a resumption of normal business iqid to a good winter tourist trade this season, and are far frym being discouraged by the unfortunate defla tion in land values that occurred last year. The state is just now celebrat ing the completion of one of the finest paved roads, extending. all the way from Jacksonville to Pensacola, a dis tance of nearly 400 miles. Before a great while, Florida is going to an nounce that it has a loop ^highway which will extend down the eastern coast to Miami via the Flagler rail road to Key West, ferirying across to Cuba, or over to the west coast by two alternate routes; along the gulf coast through Marco, Sarasota, Tarpon 4 House, Laurens, have been an even greater number As a whole, this has beeh a vpry good: year for people in many lines which 1 are patronized by the tourist.
