- T..
! For local enterprise we must take
on our hat to Florence.
For some years Canon City has been
talking about the Camp trade. the
scenic attractions and the advantages
OF a sightseeing car to reach one or
both.
But while We here In Canon City
have been talking about IL Florence
goes ahead and puts ON a Steamer
service between Florence and the
Camps. The next thing We expect to
hear is that Florence is going after
the tourist business and hauling Its
people to the magnificent scenic
points about Canon City as cheaply
as they can be reached out Of Canon
City.
