It In bis Intention lo apply to Councils for an appropriation to cover this expense and lo either clonic a separate bureau with a director, assistant director and other of llclals. or else Incorporate the advert s Ing department of the city Into one of the now existing bureaus. This new and unique branch of munic ipal government will aim to make Phila delphia the most widely known city In the world, and will seek to dispel the notion that has held for so long that Philadelphia is "slow." A campaign of advertising ' will be launched by the new department that will Inform the merchants and manufacturers of every comer of the world of the advan tages thai go to make Philadelphia the world's greatest workshop, and the great est city of homes. (Ireat conventions will be sought for this city. In short, the new department will have for Its goal a world-wide reputation for Philadelphia as a centre for trade, manufacturlcs and homes, and to teach the truths about Philadelphia to every man, woman and child In America.

The Mayor proposes, that the city of Philadel phia buy paid advertising space In news papers ranging from New York to those In tho smallest hamlets, and will ask Councils to provide n tremendous advertis ing appropriation. As tho Mayor has developed the plan up to this time, lie has only the newspa pers in mind. All the money that Coun cils will give him he wants to spend for newspaper advertising: no magazine and no billboards. The .Mavor has unlimited faith in the power of newspaper advertis ing The Idea Is fairly recent with him. It was suggested to him when he was the guest of the Poor lllchard Club at luncheon several weeks ago, and lu the speech he made at that time ho told his listeners, who were mainly advertis ing men, that he Intended to advertise Philadelphia. That started a discussion, and the idea camo out of the general talk that followed. poou mrsiNi:ss to ki:i:p ql'imt. Mayor Smith reasons that Philadelphia has so much good to say about Itself that It Is mighty poor business to keep quiet. That Is why he wants everybody to know what aro now familiar fads only to resi dents of this city and the Immedlato neigh bors. Mr. Smith doesn't want to spend nuy more of whatever appropriation ho gets In organization than Is absolutely necessary. Ho wants It all to go where it will do tho most good right Into printers' ink. Ho figures that fsoo.nno will bo about right to start with. Ho doesn't consider this sum at all largo. "II isn't only an expenditure," ho said, "It's an Investment. Tho money is to be put Into something that will bring back the principal witti Interest way up." Advertising Philadelphia, tho Mayor says, Is selling the products of tho city's manufactures. If Councils go along with him ho Is going to seek tho activo co operation of tho merchants and manufa' turcrs, tho men who will get tho first dl- lect bcuellt out of advertising the city.
