Daytona who believe that legitimate
advertising is the best
means of advertising ones business
and fattening ones pocketbook. Ed
always has been q believer II adver-
Using but he is afmore firm believer
in it now than he has ever been, and
all because Of one business deal
which was brought about through the
medium of the Daytona Daily News,
and by which one deal he cleaned
up" enough to pay for his advertising
in the daily for the whole season and
deposit more than 500 in the bank.
A particular bargain among the many
listed in the Conrad Oates advertise

carried the copy Of the paper to the
real estate office. pointed to the bar

to a nice sum, the purchaser was
happy, the man who sold the prop

There appears to be no really good
reason why the city Of Daytola
should not have a board OF trade,
and there are many reasons why
such an organizat ON should be
formed anG kept alive here. Expert
ences in the past have taught the
business men of Daytona that in
dividual efforts to accomplish GER
tain things have failed, where COM
bined effort would have been sue
cessful. The organization of the he
tel men this season has been a step
in the right direction, and if every
business man in Daytona could at
tend one of these meetings and see
how enthusiastic the hotel men are
and how anxious they are to adver-
tlse and boost the city in every way,
there would soon be a board of trade
here that would be backed by SO
much enthusiasm that the name of
Daytona would be forced into every
nook and corner OF the country in a
short time. There is no denying the
fact that real boosting comes from
organization and there viii be no sys.
tematic boosting until there is or
ganization.
The voter in the bainwick who
can't find a candidate to suit him
out OF the bunch now in the race is
hard man TO please, and if this five
cornered fight doesn't get to be a
merry scrap before the climax comes
next month somebody is going to be
greatly disappointed. Each one OF
the candidates has many friends
among the voters and these friends
have already begun the campaign to
elect the man Of their choice. No
body is getting very much excited
over this mayorality fight yet. but
with so many after the job in the bic
easy chair on the banks of the Hall
fax it wouldn't be surprising if some.
thing did happen before one man
lands the plum.

Every town along the East Coast

the expression of sentiment in the
various newspapers, every one OF
which is exhorting the people to pull
Tor the new transportation line,
There is little question that the
Swan will receive liberal support
from the business men and residents
of the East Coast towns, and if the
present wave of popular sentiment is
maintained additional steamers win b
