Our pres- snt ‘tonrist camp is too far from town. Not that we do not make the tourist somparatively comfortable: out there, but he is isolated, He cannot mix with us, nor visit our stores or picture shows.” I-spent two hours visiting the tourists in our camp the other night. I told, them that I was trying to get our city interested in’ a camp right in’ town, and asked their opinion, I told them plainly that I wanted to get them in town so they’<ould spend. their money with us, Without exception they said NEAR TOWN ARE ~NOTOBUSINESS Casper Losing Thousands of Dol- “+ lars Worth of Trade Through ] ! power of pei} | | $50,000 block of vacant property with doilara every week because our camp ground).is too far from town. Casper can well afford to buy a whole block. of ground and put in a camp. that will cost from ten to twenty-five thousand dollars. I know they say the city hasn't got any money, but if the Cham: ber of Commerce can buy \a $12,000 home and only pay one thousand dol- lars down, I.think the city could buy a a little down and a little after awhile. The money that the tourists will leave here will more than pay for all the ex- *s and interest on the investment, besides bringing a general prosperity to the whole city.” DEFEND Lack of Camp Nearer City, Is Pattee’s Claim That Casper is losing thousands of aollars which might. come to the city Trom tourist trade because it has placed its tourist camp ground so far from the center of town, is the argument ad- vanced by Fred Patee, who is familiar we would get dollars then where we get dimes now. They were apparently sat- isfiea ith our camp only as. they; point- ed out, if they wanted to go down town it meant a walk of from one ‘to two miles each way. You know, you must know. that tourists do not use their cars for evening riding when they are in camp because the car is part and par- ‘el of the camp. They must be. within walking distance if we get a chance at their pocketbooks, “I met a banker from Montgomery, Ala., and a man who is connected with the National Cash Register Co. at Day- ton, Ohio, who with their families were sort of chumming. it together, ‘They had met at different camps and’ got to Watching each other so they could camp together; They told me of a splendid camp at Loveland, Colo., that wasiright down town. They walked out-in- the evening and went window shopping as the ladies called it. The. next morning as a result of that window ‘shopping expedition these two families spent over two hundred dollars in the Loveland + ‘with a@ great many phaseggof the propo- sition. Mr. Patee has interviewed -tourists at wie Casper camp and sets forth his ar- fuments in the following communica- tion: “It is one thing to bring tourists to Casper, and quite another to make it 80 agreeable for them when they arrive that they will remain and) spend their money here. We are interested in both Phases of this question as I see it, and I want to arouse more general interest in the tourist if possible. I believe that if Casper people generally were more interested in the tourists, both socially pnd in a business way, that {t would bring greater. prosperity to Casper in monumental strides. We should form an alliance with the tourist by cultivat- ing him while he is here. The tourist is not only the only securce of new money that spreads over a city like a blanket, but he is the greatest advertis. ing medium that can be devised. “A cireus comes to town and carries away thousands of dollars of our money, but a-tourist comes to town with loads of money and he fs ready and willing, and aching for a chance to disgorge himself. He spends his money every: where. Eyery little store, every picture show and all of the big stores get theirs. So far as Casper is concerned it’ ia brand new money. Every tourist adds that much money to our circulating medium. TI spent a year in Los Ange- Jes just after the great earthquake, Part of the time with the man ‘who put Los Angeles on the map.
