On btealthy feet

Creeping my room around.

And stubbed my to«

Against a chair—

And then 1 swore!

BENEFIT OF CREAT PUBLICITY

CAMPAIGN THROUGHOUT NATION

This week more than a million people from New York to San Diego,

from Detroit to Dallas are reading about Mt. Tacoma and viewing an ex

cellent picture of the Cascade giant.

This is how it happens:

The Times, joining with nearly a hundred other newspapers, includ

ing all of its sister paper in the Scripps organisation, is conducting a na

tion wide "SEEING AMERICA" campaign.

The object of the campaign is to show that right here at home Amer

ican tourists can fine greater attractions than abroad. Incidentally no

small part of the object is to keep at home about a billion American dol

lars formerly spent by tourists to the old world.

The Times' part in the campaign was to give some reason why tour

ists should visit the Puget Sound country, particularly why the thousands

of visitors to the California fairs this year should come or return this

way.

THE TIMES GAVE MOUNT TACOMA Af ITS REASON:

Look at the picture printed below and the irticle accompanying it

and see what you think of our reason. Note tilt we call it Mt. Tacoma.

This, in brief, explains why more ilnui a

million people throughout the country are

thin week reading altout our mountain.

Tills is the third time durmg the pa* few

years that the Time*, l>ecauNe of its member

GEN. SHERMAN'S FAMOUS

SAYINGS, No. 2 (it's less fa

miliar than his words on war,

but none the less as true 1:

"THE PUGET SOUND REGION

All the inhabitants of, and

most of the visitors to western

Washington, agree whole-heart

Gen. Sherman's.

And there are other wonders

of the Evergreen state of Wash

have had recourse to words

Mount Tacoma, perhaps, the

Mt. Tacoma Is an ancient vol
