BUILDING A CITY.
The greatest factor in building up
cities during the last twenty-five years
has been judicious advertising- Chi-
cago, St. Louis, Seattle, Kansas City
and a dozen other large cities have
been built up through the liberal use
of printers ink. The people of Leav-
enworth are beginning to understand
the modern methods. They are begin-
ning to see the necessity of.adver-
tising. For two years the population
of Leavenworth has been increasing
at the rate of more than one hundred
a month. Last year the city and conn
ty made the largest gain in popula-
tion of any county in the state. Leav-
enworth is on the right road, but to
build a city our people must do a lit-
tle more than has been done. '1 he
business men of Kansas City at the
present time are raising a fund to au-
vertise the advantages of their city.
Leavenworth business men ought to
do the same thing. There is not one
out of every ten of our population
who knows anything definite about
Leavenworth. Ask any one of our bus-
iness men how much money there is
on deposit in our banks, what the
government pays out every month at
^ort Leavenworth, the Federal prison
and the Soldiers' Home, how much
coal is mined here in a year, and how
much is paid out to the miners in
wages, how many men are employed
in Leavenworth factories, and what
is the working pay roll, and there is
not one of our business men that can
answer any one of these questions
co.rectly. This is the kind of infor-
mation that business men want when
they are looking for a new locatiou.
The business men of Leavenworth
could not spend money to a better au-
vantage than by getting these facts
together and having them published
iu every newspaper in the country.
Money could be spent to a good advan-
tage in getting the outside world to
know the real facts about Leaven-
worth. Persistent and truthful adver-
tising would double the population of
Leavenworth in less than ten years.
The business men who get the busi-
ness today, are the men who adver-
tise. The cities that get the factories
and the people, are the cities that
advertise. Now is a good time for
our business men to get together and
i plan for the future. There are thous-
i ands of people who will come to Lea v-
I enworth if we go after them and it
| will be money into the pockets ot ev-
ery bdsiness man in Leavenworth to
| go after them. Leavenworth Post.
What is good for Leavenworth is
I also good tor Ralston and if we want
to see our town prosper and develop
into a thriving little city we must ad-
vertise our natnral advantages, the
productiveness of the soil and the
certainty of crops from year to rear.
