A. L. Perper
Miami Herald Man, Is
Visitor Here
Arthur L. Perper, general repre
sentative of the Miami Herald, was
a visitor in Franklin last week.
For the past five years Mr. Perper
has promoted the advantages of the
mountain area through his resort
pages in the Herald in a most ef
fective manner, and with a gener
ous publicity. ' All advertisements
of resort towns and of private en
terprise, in his paper have been
augmented by numerous cuts and
by feature articles contributed by
the able pen of his indomitable and
brilliant journalist, and have 'been
influential in bringing many to
spend their vacation in this region.
Mr. Perper's advertising campaign
for this section runs in every Sun
day issue for three months, and
it is readily seen how this type of
creative advertising will become di
rectly responsible for an incrcas
ing number of summer visitors who
are seeking just what Macon county
has to offer, and at a reasonable
distance from the heat-ridden sec
tions.
Many tarry and . buy property,
thus bringing in a valuable asset in
desirable citizenship.
