Due to Lack of Advertising.

Thirty or ferfyyears ago the Mammoth Cave shared honors with Niagara as a point of interest for travelers. No American felt that he kenw his own country till he had visited the wonderful eH-aing in the earth. No .foreigner visiting the United: States was expected to return to his own land without seeing and exploring the cave. It was one of the features of illustration in school geographies. It furnished a subject for countless magazine writers and illustrators. Now, we- never hear of the Mammoth Cave. Public attefiVon ih called to .the fact that the monster hole in the ground “is still there” by the announcement of change in ownership, the former proprietors finding that all profits on their investment had vanished. ‘ . The fact is, the Mammoth Cave has not been advertised in recent yearns, it Is just, as wonderful as it always was. But, somehow, practically all attempts in the way of advertising it have ceased. Just why this is, it may be impossible to say. But the fact retnains.
