Hill Lines Announce Aggressive Plam — for Rapid Development of This Region’s Great Resources A cool million to be spent in the next three yeara to sell the Pacific Northwest to the rest of the world! — This amount has just been set aside by the “Hill group” of railroads—the Great Northern, the Northe ern Pacific and the Burlington—and an intensive national advertising campaign will get under way March 1. Announcement of this action was made Saturday by Cart i: McQuinn and Harlan Smith, special representatives of the J. Walter Thompson Co., of Chicago and New York, the ade” vertising firm which will conduct the campaign. Smith and McQuinn have been touring the state for last two weeks, gathering data for the campaign. an completed their work Friday, with a trip to Rainier Ni Park, and were ready to leave for the East Saturday nigh®_ to start preparing their “copy.” The news was received in business circles as one of the most momentous steps ever taken toward the developmen§ of the Northwest. Equaling in size the advertising campaign which \conducted by the Southern railroads to attract tourists California, the coming effort is expected to place Seatt and the surrounding country on an even basis with the C fornia resorts in point of travel, and the thousands of ors should bring a boom that has not been surpassed the Klondike days. Region Tremendously Rich, but Its Resources Not Appreciated by Outsiders The news was announced in the form of a written ment, handed out by McQuinn and Smith, and si P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic manager the route, Chicago; A. J. Dickenson, traffic mat , and A. B. Smith, p Pace manager of the Northern Pacific Railway, aul. “The Pacific Northwest,” it says, “is tremendously Its agricultural and m wealth, its natural outlets to the commerce of the 3 | assets thoroly appreciated by dwellers of the North not by the balance of the country. K “It is the belief of the Burlington, Great Northern Northern Pacific that the natural development due to th inherent economic possibilities of the Northwest can ‘hastened by consistent and well-thought-out publicity. It! believed that thru such measures the Northwest can be ~ established in the national consciousness as a section holding” out a great appeal to the man who desires to impro condition. “To this end, a campaign of national advertising has planned. The story of the Northwest will be told; its tory, its development, its economic position, its possibilities. The films recently taken for the motion paign which involves the use of the largest national tend over a period of years and will commence early is Experts Are Coming to Study District; “The Burlington, Great Northern and Northern Pac are sending their special representatives, Carl McQuinn \Harlan Smith, into the Northwest territory to gather infor mation. Their work will take them over the entire territory jresources forming the basis of the great wealth of Northwest. The facts developed from this inves’ will supplement the information now in the possession the railroads and will be used as a basis for this campaign.” The visit of Smith and McQuinn to the Northwest comes” close on the heels of the work of a group of camera men, headed by W. R. Mills, who spent weeks in this vicinity, filming industrial and scenic views for the Burlington tem. They remained a week in Seattle and left M after getting thousands of feet of views of this city and the surrounding country. These films are to be colored and will represent the last word in motion picture photography. They will be circus lated all over the East and Middle West and certain of the industrial films will be given to Eastern universities for search purposes, thus calling attention to the comm opportunities of the region. The advertising campaign will be waged simul and in co-operation with a national exploitation drive to be conducted by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce—similar to, but larger, than the one which attracted more than 300,000 visitors to the Northwest this year. The Chamber of Commerce will spend $70,000 next year, as against $50,000 in 1922. City Will Share Results of Campaign Freely With Other Communities This will make a total of more than $400,000 to be ex- pended next year alone for the exploitation of the North- west. The railroad’s appropriation will be approximately $335,000. THE SEATTLE CHAMBER WILL CO-OPERATE AC- TIVELY WITH ALL THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATIONS IN THE REGION IN ITS CAMPAIGN. Just as this year, the names and addresses of all persons responding to the chamber’s ads will be forwarded immediately to the com- mercial clubs of all the cities and towns in this vicinity, so that each will have a chance to circularize the prospective visitors. re : Local railroad men, with whom Smith and McQuinn were — holding their final conferences Saturday, were quick to see ‘Turn to Page 7, Column 2)
