MINNESOTA RESOURCES TO RECEIVE PUBLICTTY Co-operation of Bankers and Publishers Obtained to Insure Success St. Paul, Sept. 3.—For the first time in history, Minnesota's resources of every description are to receive the broadest publicity throughout the United States and particularly in the northwest. The co-operation of bank- ers and publishers throughout the state is being obtained to insure the success of the project. A short time ago the Merchants National bank of Saint Paul put into operation a plan whereby a weekly revi~ of agricultural, financial, in- dustrial, commercial, civic and mu- nicipal conditions in the state could be prepared for statewide publication. Bankers in every county in Minnesota who have business relations with the Merchants National bank were pro- vided with blanks and a weekly report of activities in their district is made to the Tennis Press association of Saint Paul, which compiles the. data and prepares the news stories. The Webb Publishing company of Saint Paul, which publishes The Farmer, immediately became interest- ed in the weekly review and agreed to co-operate in various ways to lend publicity to Minnesota’s resources and activities. The review will be mailed regularly to more than twenty-five hundred of the subscribers and business clients of The Farmer. This list will include a great many bankers, farm experts, real estate men and associations of broad variety. The consequence will be that a report on Minnesota condi- tions obtained from the most accurate sources possible will be sent weekly 'not only to a great many newspapers but to hundreds of business organiza- tions. = | Newspaper publishers throughout | the state are requested to co-operate ! with their local bankers in clearing inews of county importance to the Tennis Press association, whose offices are in the Metropolitan Opera House building.
