Advertising of Many
Advantages
(Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Sept. 11.—At least,
four persons, in different cities be
tween here and Kansas City, ad-'
vanced the idea to John T. Floore. ]

sor to Florida in securing winter
traffic in tourists.
Floore said that persons in cities
throughout the area he traversed
were all interested in the Valley. 1
and said that they hoped to corn"
to the section soon. Practically all
of them had heard of it, and knew
considerably more about the Valley
than would be expected from the
advertising the section has done,
he said.
“They wanted to know why th?
Valley does not advertise its play
grounds, beaches, golf, fishinr
hunting, climate, and other ad
vantages. and bring the tourists
here instead of letting them go to
Florida,” Floore said. “I agreed
with them that this is what the
Valley should do. and told them the
section is planning now to do this
as soon as possible.
Floore went to Kansas City and
other points to confer with revue
and carnival men concerning shows
for the Valley Mid-Winter Fair this
fall. He expects to sign up soon for
all entertainment features at the
Fair, included in the list being the
Simmons College Cowboy band for
one day.
