Need of advertising the solid financial status ot Iowa in tho East, particularly New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston, to coun teract prevalent opinion there, Is seem by John Hynes, well known Davenport Businessman, wno returned home, last night from a week's business trip in the East. New York businessmen have read in the newspapers, financial journals and periodicals, ot bank failures in Iowa and they take these to moan that Iowa Is bankrupt, Mr. Hynes stated.

New York has not hrfd a hank failure in the past eight years and finds it dlfh- cult to believe that a state can be prosperous where bank failures have occurred- A comprehensive advertising program, pointing out the real riches of Iowa, the value of the state's 1926 crops, what the present nnce of hogs and cattlo mean to Iowa farmers in-dollars and cents, would be much worth while, Mr. Hynes believes. "I spent most of my time telling businessmen In the East that Iowa Is not broke, that fanners are prosperous as a general rule and that business is good" the Davenport Insurance agency head says. "I found them almost Incredulous. They could scarcely comprehend how a state could prosper when several of Its banks had been forced to close their doors.

I believe ft comprehensive advertising campaign in the newspapers and financial journals would do much to set them right." NOTICE, WATER CONSUMERS!
