It may sed merchandise in a store or fill a theater or market a big product, but here is one man who describes the results of advertising, the bullding and establish- ment of 4 now famous town within a comparatively hort time, In 1914 Miami was a little Florida town of 6,000 and sliding backward. In his room at the Willard Hotel E. G. Sewell, president of the Miami Cham- ber of Commerce, told the listener how an advertising campalgn in 1914 filled the resort t6 capacity during the win- ter and was the beginning of what is now one of the most famous resorts In the world. H. M. Flagler of the Sta Company ‘started the tows wi Ol d_ehlh in 1913 the resort was dying out. Convinced that something must be done. Mr. Sewell, who s ted busi; s in Miami when it was but a vi alled the people together and deviced a pian for advertising the city. Raising s fund of 55.000, they boosted the place in the northern newspapers, and that winter turned peopie away. “Every year we increased the ver tising fund, and every year we !alfrnl-:l people awiy that we could not ac- commodate becaus we could not bulld hotels fast enough,” declarcd Mr. Sewell, Yho pointed out that the vertising budget for the city this vear was $150,000, (r the city thi _“We inc d the populatio: 6,000 to 60,000, and ifi ‘lh-' \‘lr‘;‘uvrl"’olmu 100,000, From a few hotels sprang ninet. hotels and 200 apartment houses, and we have had a building program of $50,000,000 since we start- ed that advertising campaign. Of course we had the attractions to advertis, declared: Mr. Sewell, pull- ng out 4 large folder describing the alluring attractions of Miami, and declaring, arduously, “With all our new accommodations, from January 10 to February 10, last year, we turned away 10,230 Visitors. That is the result we got from advertising. Our taxable property jumped from $6.500.000 to $69,000,000, and our bank deposits from $3,000,000 to $31,000,000. It pays to advertise,” he declared, in- troducing the listener to Mrs. Sewell, Who represented Florida at the recent international centennial of the Mon- roe doctrine. Mr. Sewell has been president of the Miam! Chamber of Commerce for €ight vears and is in Washington at- tending the rivers and harbors co ¥ress with a view to having the port facilities of his city developed. Some people are interested i horses for a variety of reasons, b even to those who are not interested in Lorse racing what James Rowe . who fs In charge of the horses sent to Bowie from Harry Payne Whitney, the New York financ stables, thinks about the race condi tions is of interest to all We have seen movies of horse rac- Ing, seen plays and read books with horse racing as the topic dealt with There is one thing that Mr. Rowe objects to in these pietures of the horse game and that is that they al 'S show up the jockey, trainer or owner us a terrible crook. “As matter fact there is no clean: sportsinanship than among the fol- lowers of the tuif, and I wish some one would write a'book or produce a play which would show what really happens, how rival horses that have had to get to places quick have beer shipped in the same car and nev a thing done o them by the rival stables, when it would have been casy 10 do scme grooked work,” di- clared Mr. Rowe. Some of these horses sent with rival stable’s shipment have beate: the horses of that stable, and it has been taken good naturedly,” said Mr Rowe. “I have a great respect for th French and English horses. They have some very fine ones, and I do not think that the American horses except in individual cases, are at all superior to them.” Mr. Rowe declar- ed, very gracefully fighting shy any comments about the Zev-Papryus race, only stating that Zev was a fast’ “mud' horse,” and the English horse was not used to the Amer- can stvle of track and was not shoud proper If it is anything in the chemical engineering that you are in rested in wend your way to th- New Willard today and tomorrow and there you will find the leaders of the chemical industry of the country gathered for the sixteenth annua! meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Among those whom the convention has brought to town is John C. Olsen of Brooklyn, professor of chemical engineering and consulting_chemist of the Polytechnic Institute, Brooklyn, and secretary of the engineers' organization. When started on the subject of chemistry Mr. Olsen's ardor grows and he talks of matters from the dve industry to the manufacture of chemical gases, for he is constantly in touch with every phase of the chemical engineering industry in the country. Mr. " Olsen wa ked what thought of Henry Ford's offer to pu; chase the Muscle Shoals plant. Smil- ing and leaning forward and tapping the listner on_the knce, Frof. Olsen said “Henry Ford is not a chemical engineer; the biggest chemical comi- pany with some of the greatest scientific brains in the word have tried to operate the plant and cannot. This same company went north and is now producing fifteen tons 4f ammonia from the air each day, so it'it were only a question of brains that could be hired, why, this com- pany or the government could hire the brains,” he declared, smilingly shaking his head at the idea that all Henry Ford would have to do would be to hire competent chemical engi- neers. Z Tn speakig of the chemical indus- in the country generally Prof. n said it was good. “You know conditions reflect on our work hing else, for if the < the cotton. then the cottonseed-oil industry feels badly At the same time, firms manufacturing calcium arsenate which kills the cot- ton bug, are working overtime, and if copper and other minerals ‘from Wwhich arsenle fs made are not mined fast. then calcium arsenate firms are dull? Prot. Olsen disagfreed with the ter- rors that are predicted to come from modern gas_warfare. “It cannot be any more inhumane than the present Mmethods. The majority of gas cases recover, and I would like to know which is worse—to get mangled by & shell or shot and riddled by bul- Jets or get gassed.” He pointed out the necessity -of encouraging the dye and fertilizey works, because, he said, these plants not oniy produce neces- sary material in peace time but there is service In war time for the same sort of equipment and machinery fo manufacture explosives as is uked in the manufacture of dve and fertilizers. ————— ARMED BANDITS SEIZE TRUCKLOAD OF LIQUOR Owner of Garage Afterward Ar- rested on Charge of High- ‘way Robbery.
