' and the Kiwanis Club of Ocean City, • a big publicity stunt for rfllvcrtising | Ocean City. ! ^ Every citizen of Ocean City or per- ' 1 son interested in Ocean City will be 1 , > ' asked to mail as many picture postal " .cards a"s possible on that day to . friends or people who have never vis- ^ ited this resort. There is on file at the Chamber of Commerce Information Bureau a list of several thousand l] names of people who have inquired I ■ about Ocean City. The list will be "'available for furnishing names. "! There are any number of slogans that can be used on the cards and ( ' they can be^igned by the individual | ii or compliments of the Young Men's 'Progressive League, the Chamber of Commerce, or the Kiwanis Club, or any other suitable way. "Visit Ocean City this summer," "We offer health i and happiness," "Come in June; Stay r Through October," "The Kiddies Play- ' Q| t ground," "America's Greatest Family , b "Made the Seashore Fam- » ous," "Occun City Invites You," "The q s Watchword of Ocean City is Service," , . "A Fisherman's Paradise," "Public i Play. Grqumls and Tennis Courts," - "The Only Municipal Casting Field in . the World," "Comfortable, Homelike . Hotels," "A Community Spirit," are a) f just 'a few of the catch phrases that ^ , might lie used. ^ The idea was presented to the ^ League by F. Leruy Howe, chairman,^ i of the League's Publicity Committee, p 1 receiving the indorsement of ^ . John R. Groves, a member of the i Chamber of Commerce Publicity Com- . mittee, ami the unanimous support of w . the members present who pledged ([ j! themselves to net as a committee of. 5 the whole in putting the Mail a Card :.

The mailing of a si b picture card has more or less personal tl , touch that appeals to the person who a . at this time of the year is beginning tl . to think of vacation time. i ir CHAMBER TIV-RAISE $2,000 „ The need of a larger advertising ap- t! propriation was a subject that brought fi fourth many comments.

The t water rate in that city he said is twen- j r ii '£ ce"'s a thousand gallons and the 1 s , water company was just beginning i to show a return after seven years it ,1 of municipnl ownership.
