considering its size, in the United States.
For ten years or more three of the moot im-
portant railroad systems of the country have been
spending thousands of dollars in advertising the
Penhandle and its metropolis. There can be no
doubt as to the sincerity and efficiency of the work
in this line done by the Santa Fe, Rock Island and
Fort Worth fir Denver railways, not only in their
timetables, but through the medium of special pub-
lications of the highest type and regular periodi-
cals devoted to the special work of agricultural
and industrial development in this territory. And
this is still going on as a large proportion of the
plan of work laid down for a regularly organized
department assigned to this method of practical
advertising.
Year after year, with the ebb and flow of the
tide of immigration from the older states, thous-
ands upon thousands of homeseekers passed into
and through Amarillo to the Pecos Valley and the
South Plains, investigating the opportunities offer-
ed by the undeveloped territory of the Panhandle
and other sections devoted to the large cattle
ranges, as the result of the activities of the "land
agents," whose work is was to seek out in every
community of the older states the men who had
money to invest or those who had property that
they were willing to sacrifice to the pioneer spirit,
or to make capital of the difference between the
high-priced lands of the older sections and the
broad stretches of cheap lands to be found in this
part of the undeveloped Southwest. From this it
follows that there is scarcely a town, city, village
or community anywhere in all the north, east,
middle west, or south and east Texas, where the
name of Amarillo is not well known or where
there are not individuals to be found who have
"been there." In this work mountains of "dey
scriptive literature" have been used and are still
being distributed.
More than all this, certain great industrial and
commercial institutions seeking the development
of new fields of enterprise, have within more re-
cent years turned in this direction their big pub-
licity field-guns loaded with millions of money
and tons of “facts and figures." Among these
such concerns as Sears Roebuck, the American
Steel & Wire Co., the Fort Worth Stock Yards,

vested in this work. The present organization,
the Board of City Development, still has on hand
a considerable supply of first-class advertising
matter which it is using every day and which is at
the command of every citizen for that purpose.
i The good roads movement, in connection with
the great automobile highways, has also served as
a powerful and effective means for advertising
Amarillo. Through the continued efforts of the
citizens, the Chamber of Commerce and the Board
of City Development, at least three of these high
ways have been established into and out of Ama-
rillo, and during the past two summers thousands
Representative Oscar Underwood is authority
for the statement that the American loss from the
of tourists have passed through Amarillo.
As one of the results of this continuous and
stienuous campaign of publicity, fostered and di-
rected into practical and effective channels by a
watchful organization of our citizens, the interest
of the general public in all sections of the state and
elsewhere has become so well recognized that the
demand by the great daily newspapers for Ama-
rillo and Panhandle news has become insatiable,
and this demand is also taken care of through the
publicity department of the Board of City Devel-
opment.
As a matter of fact, it is hardly to be question
ed if anywhere in the United States, wherever a
man for any reason decides to change his location
to find a new home and new opportunity, he does
not first turn his mind to the great Southwest, the
Panhandle, and Amarillo. Hardly a day goes by
that the Board of City Development does not have
a number of such inquiries to answer, and it is
fully equipped for this purpose within the limits
laid down for it.
The problem that confronts Amarillo is to
make good" for all this publicity. Advertising
alone never made a town, and advertising alone
will not bring back the tide of immigration which
built Amarillo to its present goodly proportions
and laid the foundation for the prosperity which
it has enjoyed—even though modest, in the recent
years which have proven so hard in other sec-
tions. Amarillo must offer real opportunity to
every man who seeks it and back of its "advertis-
ing it must have the real thing which justifies the
publicity. These problems, are multitudinous and
substantial and their solution offers to the citizen-
ship a wide field for further and more extended
effort.
