"A carefully edited, conservative, consecutive publicity page of the city's activities is one of" the most effective .bolsters that .a town can have. Huy a 'Los Angeles &uudny Times or a Denver Sunday licpublicnn or a Tacoma Times or a Portland Oregonian and tin; real osli.re sections will show you some reasons rea-sons why these cities have grown so much faster than Salt 'Lake has. Mere mention has a mesmeric power! The sailing ship-and the flying bird, the spinning top and the dancing dervish, der-vish, each but 'repeats lho self-sumc motion. Their kind has made for countless count-less generations, -yet how wt watch them all! "Note the faoeinntod follower? of the changing figures, on a brokers' bulletin bul-letin board! If the motion of mere chalk marks has such a power, who can compute the constructive result if She changing counters of the game be not mere symbols, but real, now business blocks, 'handsome or happy homes, I'ae-lories, I'ae-lories, pa v-higwexloiisions, power plants and the. hundred and one real things th;:t cOnti'jbdte to the upbuilding ol the city, and the unfolding ol its almost al-most infinite possibilities!

The, very fact that he or she buys, helps to; enhance tho values. Land values val-ues havo increased, many thousands per cent and.. arc rising still.
