MacVicar GREATER GODERICH, MAY 1o, 1918 SEND "Greater Goderich TO FRIENDS 11 The Board of Trade forward campaign and this publication mean that the citizens of Goderichhave made up their minds to get together in the upbuilding of their city. It is an announcement to the World that "Forward" is the big word in Goderich today. Every copy should be mailed out to friends, relatives and acquaintances in other cities. It will be good advertising for our city and it may lead to some industrial lead that will bring us a factory. It would he real • co-operative adver- tising if all our people would send out this paper. A Western Canada eity some years ago sent out 150,000 pieces of literature in one day through just such co-oper- ation. The Board of Trade there furnished the printed matter and the envelopes, . while the people supplied the addresses and stamps. Miami, a little Florida city, annually sends out tons,; of thousands of pieces of such advertising literature through the help of its people. If the people here show their willingness to spread this publication broadcast, the Board of Trade will im- mediately make plans to have more attractive little booklets printed for such distribution. Its the steady advertising. pull that counts. One man or a dozen men can't do much in this line, but a whole com- munity can accomplish won- ders in . an advertising way. Additional copies of each is- sue may be secured free at the offices of the Board of Trade, so long as they last.
