It will make Seattle to the summer tourists what Los Angeles is now to the winter tourists. Here it is— Let the Commercial Club, the Cham- ber of Commerce, the Ad Club, and the city generally, CONSERVE AND CONCENTRATE their publicity funds to be used for ONE PURPOSE and in ONE WAY. That PURPOSE and that WAY constitute the million-dollar idea. Instead of sprinkling advertisements in the y | magazines, instead of using publicity funds for any other purposes whatsoever, use the money entirely to carry PAGE ADS, not little ads, in the newspapers of the big Eastern centers during the hot summer months. For instance, on a certain day in July, when the mer- cury is above a hundred in the city of Cleveland and its people are sweltering, The Star’s idea is for Seattle on that day to run a page ad in each of the Cleveland papers, giving the exact temperature in Seattle for that day, tell- ing of the other attractions here—the auto drives, moun- tain climbing, cruising on the sound and lakes, camping, fishing, etc. If it is a hundred degrees in Cleveland while it is 60 in Seattle, and if that fact is hammered into the people of Cleveland with a page ad in each of its papers, everybody in Cleveland, from shop girl to bank president, will not only be talking about Seattle, but every one will be trying to get to Seattle. And a lot of them will get here sooner or later. This same scheme repeated in all of the big Eastern centers during a hot month and repeated at the PSYCHO- LOGICAL TIME —that is, on one of the hottest days will, if there is anything in advertising, bring the tourists to Seattle by the thousands. Seattle has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in publicity. It has been using its money in the usual CONVENTIONAL ways. More than one big busi- ness firm has been built up solely on one original adver- tising idea. THE STAR’S IDEA FOR ADVERTISING FOR TOURISTS IS ORIGINAL. If it is used effectively by Seattle it will be worth ten times a million dollars. It will bring to this city and the surrounding territory more people and more money in one year than all of the general conventional advertising that the Chamber of Commerce has done in 10 years. Now that the $17.50 penalty agamst Northwest tour- ists has been wiped out, it is time to start, and since the whole Northwest will get the benefit of the tourists, there is no reason why all the cities of the Northwest should not unite in making the campaign to get the tourists here.
