ADVERTISING INDIANA* Hoosier State Auto Association Launches Campaign To Give Prominence To State's Beatuy "Come to Indiana—All Hoosicrdom Invites you,’’ That Is the slogan which Is being i placed In every nook and corner of the United States by the Hoosier State Auto Association as a part of the campaign launched with the formation of the Hoosier travel bureau son»e months ago. It. marks a new era in giving Indiana the prominence to which it is justly entitled. The great state of Indiana abounds in lakes, parks, spots of scenic beauty, forests, rivers, caves and resorts —and has had these possessions for, many moons. But it remained for the Hoosier State Auto Association,! through the efforts of M. E Noblet, secretary-manager, and his associate 1 in this work, A. D. Stone, to devise a definite, concrete and well organic ed system to let the worM at large know that there is much in store for the tourists who pass this way by the thousands. In September of 1924. when the association made its first real step in the advertising and publicity campaign of “selling Indiana," few of those actively engaged in the work fully realized that it was possible to attain the goal that has already been reached in his mamoth undertaking. i After months of research and

! ' $ never ending mass of detail, there is now a concrete, detailed. yet simple system of touring information for the serving of all members of the state .organization and the motor traveling public in general has no equal. I The result of this work is evidenc|O<l by what, is now known as the ‘Travel bureau.’’ At first glance few worl’d recognize the detail, usefulness and the scope of this system. In a|>pearance it is an overlapping card index system mounted on a pedestal stand with a revolving rotary. The cat ds are hung in a patented holder in ~uch a manner that the margin, | with name, stato, population and other data of the town cards is alone displayed By turning the card up j ward there is detailed information' compiled in standard form that answers ary question that the motorlist could possibly ask about a town or place to go. In addition to town cards, there are many cards giving roll details and description of hotels, even to the ex tent of extra charge for a cot and small children and the manner in which dogs and pets are cared for. In fact, there is nothing left out that one could possibly want to know about a hotel. The same applies to the cards covering resorts and parks.. Using the words of a very prominent man in an Eastern automobile club, j “It tel’s everything from soup to nuts.” Signals Provided I The location of the travel bureau is designated by a very artistic
