To clear up « few misconceptions, oo it iy nat a sight-seeing organization. Tt does not spend al] its time sending out pretty pictures of Prince Rupert and it does not maintain an office here merely to tell visitors how they can go some- where else, While it is true that all these functions are to some extent inchided in its work, none of these by itself defines the Bureau's main purpose. The Bureau exists primarily and above all to bring the visitors’ money to Prince Rupert. That is the mercenary but very reasonable basis of its hale peration. To accamplish this and to give service In return, the Bureau must undertake a wide assorument of seemingly irrelevant jobs, It to must answer letters asking about Prince Rupert, | about B.C. and about Canada even though the send- ers express no intention of following up their en- quiries with a personal visit. It must he hospitable to stranvers who are more interested in the local scenery than in the local merchandise. It must pro- duce maps not only for those planning to come to the city but also for those wishing to get out of it. All this comes under the great and generous heading of public relations. The Bureau functions in this manner because hospitality pays, no matter how far it musi stray from the original purpose to do so. Even if just one good customer for the city is obtained out of every 100 visitors, the Bureau is roving its worth because the number who stop off vere each year runs into thousands—and thanks in no small part to the Bureau, this number is steadily " Increasing, The Bureau is as essential to the city as window dressing and courteous service are to a store.
