"At the principal markets of the country, then, a condition emerged by which the five packers. Armour & Co., Swift.

Thom a* is the most important of the group of islands. This importance arises from the fact that the harbor on the south side of the island is one of the

finest in all tropical America.” War Robbed St. Thomas.

The story of how the wsr robbed St. Thomas of her one lone industry, and the possibilities the islands hold for rehabilitation, is told in the following com-

munication to the society:

“From the days of the buccaneers St. Thomas’ strategic advantage has been realised, for when the Spanish main was the happy hunting ground of the gentlemen of the black flag this harbor was their headquarters. Behind its outer hills the pirate craft found shelter from the open sea, and were well screened from the sight of passing ships until the moment came to pounce down upon them. In more recent times it has played the role of safe harbor for the thousands of vessels bound from Europe 10 Panama and surrounding territory, or vice versa. With a free port, where repairs, ships' stores and coal might be had, upon which there had been no levy of tariff duties, the shipping world found

What’s the matter with Indianapolis?

Every once in a while some one rises up and inquires, “What’s the matter with Indianapolis? And that is exactly the time when every red-blooded citizen of Indianapolis oug’ht to answer back in no •uncertain tone, “Indianapolis is all , right—there is absolutely nothing the matter with Indianapolis.” For that is the plain, unvarnished truth. The only trouble is that everybody does not know it e; * * •We people of Indianapolis are a good deal in the position of a man with a million dollars in the bank, but goes hungry because he fails to draw on his bank account. Indianapolis has more natural advantages than any other city in America, bar none. And all that we lack here is the inclination to draw on our resources. * * * We can make Indianapolis the best appreciated city in America. Indianapolis is not the largest city, and never will be. But it has many advantages over the extremely big city. What Indianapolis needs-most is GOOD WILL! This city does not enjoy the reputation it deserves, either among our own people or throughout the country. That is partly because we have been too self-satisfied—too content with what we have, without realizing in full our wonderful resources. Indianapolis must assert herself! * * * In order to do that Indianapolis must have a program. And then, after a program is adopted, there must be a START. Some things have been started in Indianapolis that were never finished. That was because there was not a big, practical program to be followed. Both the PROGRAM and the means of starting are now offered to Indieuia pwmxo. * * * The program contemplates taking a lot of small movements and welding them together into one big movement. It gathers up a number of activities, each of which has its own small foBowing, but none of which was large enough to challenge the interest of the entire community.

This,, program is big enough to attract the ability of the most influential men of Indianapolis, yet comprehensive enough to invite humbler citizens to have a part. Many local conditions need improving. This plan provides for work along this line. A number of splendid local activities can be of more service when several of them are co-ordinated. Indianapolis is the center of distribution of , North America, and • there should be intelligently directed efforts to develop more trade through Indianapolis. Our own citizens must know more about Indianapolis in order that they may stand up for Indianapolis. And last, but far from least, the whole country must be made to know the real truth about Indianapolis. AH these things are possible when this program is at work. see Such a program needs a mainspring to set the various wheels in motion. The Advertising Club of Indianapolis has come forward with the mainspring. It is proposed to bring to Indianapolis in June, 1920, the international convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. This convention is second only to that of the United States Chamber of Commerce in its influence on the business world. It is one of the few conventions that President Wilson urged should not be abandoned during the war. * * * The coming of this convention of serious-minded business men and women will focus the attention of the entire country on Indianapolis. Because it is an advertising convention the newspapers and magazines will devote space to the meeting that is not the case with ordinary conventions. Both before and during the convention there will be available for Indianapolis an immense amount of valuable pubUcity. And, best of all, the coming of such a convention will automatically set in motion many of the wheels of the program in order that the city may measure up to its opportunities. Minor deficiencies will be eliminated. Major improvements will

A. L. BLOCK, EVANS WOOLLEN,

be effected. Our whole community will have the incentive to set our house in order, if the world is to look in upon us through the advertising which wiU be sent broadcast. * * * How all the details of the program will be worked out is a matter of no concern at this particular time. It is sufficient to know that the program is built and that the course of procedure has been charted. The important thing at this particular moment is to get started. An invitation is to be extended to the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World to meet here in 1920. Other cities also covet the same convention. Other cities realize ' the economic value of such a con-vention-—not for the convention alone, but as an influence on the community. The Advertising Club of Indianapolis will extend the invitation to this association at its annual convention next month in New Orleans.

One of the essentials to obtaining the convention is a guarantee fund of $50,000, assuring the officers that the successful city is prepared to go before the country at the proper time with a campaign of advertising that will bring the largest possible number of business men and women to the convention. * * * This guarantee fund of $50,000 is not for the purpose of merely entertaining A CONVENTION. It is the spark which will start the engine. Bigger things yet are contemplated. But just now the spark is the essential thing. With this $50,000 guarantee fund, the A. A. C. W. convention can be obtained. With the convention in prospect, the Chamber of Commerce is ready to undertake the larger program. Indianapolis is ready for big things. Indianapolis is entitled to do big things. Indianapolis can only do what her citizens are willing for her to do. Let’s release the mainspring and start the machinery. The man who reads this must do his part. We can not see all of you personally, but you can send your subscription to us with your check, at Convention Headquarters, Chamber of Commerce Building. R A. WORTHINGTON, MERLE SIDENER,
