Show MOVEMENT MADE TO PUBLICIZE MILFORD A plan of favorable publicity fo! Milford has been outlined by the Milford Mil-ford Lions Club and will be worked out completely within a short time. The plan briefly, is to have printed a complete directory of the town, listing all business houses and their lines of business; a separate business telephone directory; schedule of train-arrival train-arrival and departure; hours of incoming in-coming and outgoing Beaver and Minersville mail; calendar for the year; and a few salient facts about the town its industries, population, popula-tion, churches, etc. A thousand of these will be printed in the form of large cards, which will contain much information needed need-ed daily, and they will be distributed all over Milford's trade radius by local lo-cal merchants. The cost of making up this reference refer-ence card will be borne pro rata by each business house, who will have a small space thereon, with room for slogan, telephone number, etc. If there are any business houses in Milford that do not care to share their part of the expense, a space will be put in for them regardless, as it is planned to make the gazetteer as complete as is humanly possible to do so. The cost to each business house will be not over two dollars at the most, it is believed. . . By providing a useful article to each household, it is believed that Milford's best features can also be publicized locally. If the plan works out well and seems to have had a beneficial effect in selling Milford to its citizens, a publicity plan on a larger scale, consisting of pamphlets or notebooks, may be used within a few months, for the purpose of advertising ad-vertising at a greater distance |
