PUBLICITY F 0 If. SISTER. PROVINCEB-Ji prominent Island- er in New York City. writing to u. friend here, says: "l was disap- pointed while attending the Sport Show in New York a short time ago, to find rio evidgze of adver- tising on the part of Prince Ed- ward Island. Nova - Scotln, New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec had very elaborate and attrzictzve exhibits which, I nm sure, will re- sult in many of the 200,000 odd spectator: that attended thothow. visiting the provinces some future date. Tourists of a desirable na- ture usually make their holiday plans months in advance of their vacation. It seem: to me that an expenditure of $5.000 for a well put up exhibit at Grant Central Palace, where the Sport Show was held, would have repaid the Prince Edward Izland Government many time: over. Even after placing the attractions of the Island before the public, romcthing of a con- structive nature is nece=siiry in respect to the rail trip from st. John or Moncton to Charlottetown. Jrhe present slow motion process take: a lot of the pleasure out of the trip."
