RHYL AND THE NORTH WALES ADVERTISING SCHEME. PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS THE PROJECT. In aoco.rdance with the desire of many rate- payers and property owners in Rhyl, the Chair- man of the Rhyl Urban District Council (Coun- cillor A. Rhydwen Jones) called a public meet- in,- at the lo"ii liall, on Tuesdav eve r?ing, for the purpose of discussing the North Wales Ad- vertising Board. There was a large attendance, Company sent down a fine series of cinemato- oCmpany sent down a fine series of cinemato- graph films depicting the beauty spots of North Wales. These were admirably shown by Mr A- Gheetham, who gave his services for the bene- fit of the scheme, and in add-on to showing the company's films, placed before the audience the spool of pictures he took when the non-stop Euston-to-Rhyl cxpress first ran. Mr S. Perks (vice-chairman of the Council, and the representative of the town on the Ad- vertising Board) presided, in tho absence of the Chairman, who wrote that he had been de- tained in Manchester. Mr Porks explained that the object of the meeting was to raise funds for the purpose of advertising North Wales. As they were aware the London and North-Western a Railway Company has spent a great deal of money, and had done much to advertise the at- tractions of that part of the country. lIe wa.s able to speak from personal experience, as he jai 'N?ortli NVai?e:3 ctlc,c-d Nv,hen ii L?>ndon tha'. the coast was advertised everywhere. If they showed tlie company that they were prepared to help themselves, then t.he company would help them (hear, hear). In the e.cheme which was being put forth there would be cancer tod action, and without a doubt tlie more people brought to North Wal-es the more Rhyl would benefit. Ad- vertising was the secret of business success, and they on the coast should take the opportunity now presented to place their ckurns before the public- The North Wales Advertising Board had been placed on a proper footing, and each town would contribute to the funds in propor- tion to its population and rateable value. No matter where the money was spent., each town on the ooast would benefit indirectly. Some people thought that Rhyl was known throughout the Kingdom, but he assured them that that was not the case. Advertising wa.3 the way to bring the town to the front, but it was difficult to makf people realise that the money spent in ad- vertising was a good investment: they did not think they had their money back. That was a great mistake, and he hoped they would at once dismiss the idea from their minds, as lie be- lieved that the more they spent in judicious ad- vertising the larger would be their return (ap- plause)- Let them help this advertising move- ment, both as a duty to themselves and to Rhyl, and as a sure means of bringing money to their own pockets (.hear, hear), He knew that there were some people who thought that their email contributions would not be acceptable that again wa's a mistake, as the silver collection was like the third-class pafnengers on railways: it swelled the receipts and kept, the mill running. A good silver collection equalled one large donation, but it also showed that more people were taking an interest in the movement, and were helping themselves. He hoped Rhyl people would real- ise what was being done, and that they would help the movement as much as they could. Mr Ash field, the energetic secretary of the Rhyl Ad- vertising Association—(applause)—was present .to give further particulars, a.nd he wished to bear testimony to the excellent work he had done. Not only had Mr Ashiield ahown great ability, but he had given his time and money in the .interests of P. Invl MR ASHFIELD DILATES ON THE SCHEME. Mr Ashfie'jd. who had a very cordial recep- tion, said 'that in tho first place it was de-lrable to explain the objects of the North Wales Advertising Board. Its object was to advertise the North Wales coast, and he would point out that the Railway Compan|v had last year ex- pended a very large sum of money in newspaper advertising as well as in posters. As a result of the advertising* last- year there had Deen brought to the North Wales coast no less than 25,000 more passoiigers than tlie previous year. That, fact- was proved by the number of tickets ij-oued to touriafo by the Company (applauise). Rhyl was bound to have benefitted by that, and if the people of Rhyl would only support the scheme now in hand there would be increased benefits next year. Early ill September Mr Warmer, the district superintendent of the rail- wa^y, called; a meeting for the purpose of seeing whether there could not be concerted action with regard to the advertising of North Wales in the future, and so the Advertisnig Board was formed. It 'was proposied to issue a num- <?,1;,aie f-.

They would be able to seen re advertisements on a very exten- siivo scale at a wry snia.ll cost- Tlie North Wales Advertising Board was to be composed of ropresemtatives from each of the towns inte- rested, and Rhyl's contribution to th £ scheme would be about £ 69- For that they would be able to secure a considerable amount of advertis- in.g, and iu addition to the usual channels it was proposed to include in the scheme a weekly programme of attractions, which would be -ly ?c?roul?tt?-d. If taiev would help I.,t,rg(, selves then the Railway Company would help them, and it followed that. t:he town would get more out of each visitor than did the Railway Company out of the fare paid by the tourist- In oilier to oonviiict, the doubtful people as to the value of advertising he would point out that h,:t year the Railway Company had advertised Rhyl very extensively. In fact- they were always on the "move" to do something. On one occa- sion ihoO was asked to send 200 special posters from Rhyl for display in Northampton; then he had to fend a like number to Nottingham, and again 200 were asked for by the Com pany for display in London. That showed what the Company was prepared to do, a.nd that night. they had sent down too Rhyl a splendid series of is .9r)ec-i,i-nens of tl-,ey were (,xrii- -or ?,g, oi t4ho kingdokm (applaii-4L money they spent as a town in advertising' would come back three-fold. THE RAILWAY COMPANY'S VIEWS. Mr Frith, as representing the L. and N.-W. Railway Company, said he had to apologise for the inability of Mr Warner to be present that evening, but he assured the meeting that Mr Warner was taking a deep interest in this scheme. As -they knew, ttha Company had spent a. great deal of money tast year, and in his speech to the shareholders at tlie last mt- ing, the C&iairman of the Company had pointed out that, t'hov had endeavoured to give tlie autho- rities of North Wales an object lesson. That the results of their advertising scheme had been a great sueec.ss there was no doubt, and if it was continued then t.he whole of the coast as well as the Company would benefit. Every penny that was spent by North Wales in adver- tising would owiie back with good interest, and he had only that day had a conversation wiiih a London tourist agent, who told him that the North Wales coast was the only part of the kingdom which had enjoyed a good season last year. That was due to the fact that it was well advertised, and if that would be done one season it could be done all the time, and each year's expenditure would add to t.he prosperity. They had to keep advertising*, and all 8ucoes; ful firms would tell them that their business was in accordance with the amount they ex- pended in that way. Next year Chester expec- ted a very large influx of American visitors, and if North Wales would only advertise in a pro- ]>er v.-a'y they would bonefit by that influx- He wished to bear testimony to tlie work of Mr Ashfiold as lion- secretary of the Rhy] Advertis- ing Association- Nohing was too much trouble for him to do, and Rhyl owed much to him (applaujsel. There was 011,0 other point which he wished to emphasise they should make their attractions known far and wide, and they should encourage every kind of entertainment to come to Rhyl, as other towns would do fO, and the more attractions they oould1 offer the public the mow} visitors they would get (hear, hear). Willi all the natural advantages of Rhyl tike people should not hesitate to adver- tise. Let them take a leaf out of the book of Blackpool. That town with- out any of the great natoral attractions of Rhyl and the North Wales coast had been able to draw hundreds of thousands of people. How did the Blackpool people do it? There was but one answer—they adver- tised (hear, hear). Rhyl and the whole cf the North Wales coast could do the same. They could bring many more thousands to the coast if they would provide the attrac- tions and go in for proper schemes of adver- tising (applause). The Railway Company were watching this movement with interest, ,in atid were NIOUS to IACIP the people on tli4,! North Wales coast all they could, and the more the North Wales people helped them- selves the more the company would help them (applause). A MEDICAL TESTIMONIAL.

A PLEDGE TO SUPPORT THE SCHEME. Mr G. A. Taverner proposed a resolution pledging support to the North Wales Adver- tising Board, and saM lie thought the rate- payers of Rhyl would like to know what the councillors were doing to further the scheme. They had a meeting the previous day, when the matter was brought forward. Without hesitation Mr Perks put his name down for £6 5s, Mr A. Rhydwen Jones followed with iJ3 3s, and before the meeting closed 13 coun- cillors had contributed amongst" themselves no less a sum than < £ 23 12s 6a, and there was more to come (applause). That was an example the people of Rhyl should follow, and if a few more would come forward the necessary S.69 would soon be forthcoming. The Railway Company was doing a great deal for them, and they as a town must show that they were worthy of the efforts put forth. He knew from experience that the people at Euston, as well as the district staff at Chester, were leaving no stone unturned to push the North Wales coast. Mr Batlio seconded, and said there were many in Rhyl who year after year made sacrifices to advertise the town, but there were others who did practically nothing, and who could do a great deal more than they had in the past. Let them but realise that every penny they gave was to help them- selves, then there would be no dearth of funds (applause).

received from Dr. A. Eyton Lloyd, medical officer of health, in which he regretted he was unable to be present. He said: "Need I say that I consider Rhyl the healthiest and most bracing of the seaside places on the North Wales coast, if not in the country. Much care has been taken to equip the town with all that is most modern in sanitation, water supply, hotel and lodging-house accom- modation, hydropathic and boarding estab- lishments. The development of the Royal Alexandra Hospital, and the wide area em- br«iring as it docs the whole of England, from which it draws its patients, is strong evidence of the outside opinion of the ex- cellence of the air, for, although a member of the staff of that institution, I am well aware that it is the life-giving invigorating properties of the climate and air that the success is due. In a word, if the people want to get strong aDd to live long no place will help them more than Rhyl" (applause). The Chairman said he could endorse what Dr. Lloyd had written, and having travelled a great deal he felt there was no 11 place like Rhyl. If he might say so, he did not think he was a bad example (laughter and ap- plause).

I e ol 7Liii- 1- i:?s- on was carl-ied, anzi afterwards T contribution forms were distributed. Mr Phillips proposed ik vote of thanks to Mr Perks for presiding, and to Mr Cheetham for his services on that, occasion. As regards Mr Perks he said it was realised that there was not a more level-headed man in Rbyl, and his advocacy of the advertising scheme showed that it was on a sound business foot- ing. As regards Mr Cheetham, they knew that he had done much to help Rhyl forward, and the excellent manner in which he had shown the pictures that night free of expense was further evidence of his enterprise and in- terest. Mr D. Trehearn seconded, and said he wished to point out that the X69 asked for was the minimum amount required by the scheme. If Rhyl or other places wished to advertise special attractions they would have to pay extra, so it behoved them to get as much money as they could. The vote of thanks having been passed, M? Perks said he wished to add one word; he had every hope of the pier scheme going through, and if there was steamboat com- munication with Rhyl and Liverpool no place would be able to surpass Rhyl as a health re.sort (applause).
