Chicago people: believe with appar-
ent reason. that tho'surprising growth
of their city is largely due to their
confirmed habit of advertising its ad-
vantages. At a recent meeting of en-
terprising business‘hicn It was decided
that an effort should be mado‘to bring
to Chicago some of-the manufacturing
establishments which are longer pros-
perous in Europe. and some of the
European capital which is seeking in-
dustrial investment. After consider-
ing the means of publicity the promot-
ers of the project resolved to advertise
