CITY HELPED BY NEWSPAPER Prominent Man of Mobile, Ala., Gives Testimony to Good Work :iby Press. "The Mobile chamber of commerce for the last couple of years has not taken any page space in newspapers; but we have had occasion recently to have a great deal of newspaper publicity on several matters and the results from it have been far beyond our expectations. "Within the last two weeks we had a campaign for the raising of better live stock, which was commented on by the newspapers throughout the country, and brought up scores of inquiries from all parts of the United States. Without this newspaper publicity our campaign would have been for naught, as it was through th® newspapers that the Interest was aroused, and today everyone in this section is talking cattle raising. "Another instance: “Some weeks ago we inaugurated a movement to celebrate a day in honor of the Satsuma orange, grown in this section, which is a recent industry. Our .purpose was to advertise it through the stores, hotels, etc. We did not think our first attempt would be a big success, but the newspapers todk up the matter with a vim, and the attendance from surrounding sections was far in excess of what we anticipated. “This was all accomplished entirely by the newspapers, and without their co-operation we do not believe we could have had such success." — George G. Card, secretary of Mobile Chamber of Commerce.
