The activity of that bureau will continue to Minnesota, while the Land and Lakes Attrgction board will direct its effort toward a publicity cam- paign that will bring tourists with buying power to Minnesota. it is presumed that the board will operate largely with the machinery already afforded by the Ten Thou- sand.Lakep of Minnesota association, competing with similar boards creat- ed in Calitornia, Colorado, Oregon apd many other Western states that have outlined energetic campaigns to attract tourists.
