PENSACOLA IS
rowing IN
EVERY MANNER
/. S. BROWN WHO is IN THE CITY
ON A BUSINESS VISIT SAYS He
NOTICES MANY CHANGES SINCE
HIS LAST TRIP.

Pensacola shows improvements with
each day, according to L. S. Brown,
tormer resident of this city, but now In
business in Atlanta. Mr.. Brown is in
the city on business and in talking to
a Journal representative yesterday e&-
pressed himself as follows:
Pensacola looks better and more
substantial each time l return here
You who are here day in and day out
do not appreciate fully the wonderful
Improvement and the many new en-
terprises located here during the past
three years. In speaking of Pensa-
cola to outsiders I find. with few ex-
ceptions. that the possibilities of the
sity have been drawn 70 their atten-
ton In one way or another and II oc-
ours to me that now is an opportune
time for the county and city to CO.
operate and do liberal amount of ad-
Nertising.
The Panama canal and other ad-
vantages. if properly displayed, will
bring splendid results. The commercial
association is the proper channel
through which to handle this. Pensa-
cola is a credit to each individual ana
should be pride and source OF graf
fication to those gentlemen who so
persistently brought about such faV-
orable results. Many of you will re-
call my agitating commission govern
ment some five or six years ago.
The Journal, at that time, pub
lished several articles from me to
that effect | predict the day not
far distant when every city of any con-
sequence will be SO governed. l. there
fore, congra tulate you upon being able
to give it a trial Your commissioners,
] believe, to be safe, conservative and
progressive men and should be capable
of sustaining success for commission
cnUaFnnnanf which much
depends. Aside from the personal pride
of each commissioners they go down
in history as its first to hold the office.
They have a splendid opportunity to
make themselves famous. Besides,
other cities are awaiting results and
whatever is done will be of national
record
Business Administration.
Commission government is intended
to mean business administration and
should be conducted without fear or
favor and free of politics.
Pensacola. is truly q beautiful city,
With climate second to none. Other
cities are frequently sweltering, while
Pensacolians enjoy its delightful
breezes. II every individual in the city
will consider himself or herself q mem
Der of the Booster Club" and will talk
Pensacola everywhere, with every one
wonderful results will be attained
With all the new railroads and i'm
provement of service by the Louisville
& Nashville. the city will continue to
grow.
An influential man In Georgia said
to me the other day that Pensacola
will equal New Orleans in a few years
The Saturday Evening Post, q few
weeks ago published some photos of
the commercial and shipping interests.
Such advertising is of great importance
4 only followed up. Pensacola needs
a large hotel on the bayshore which
would induce thousands of people to
visit her annually that now spend their
vaca tion elsewhere. There is another
little thing that would mean more peo-
pie in Pensacola during the summer
For instance, there is a reduced rate
offered by the railroads in Atlanta
each Saturday to Pensacola for less
than the regular fare one way, but for
some reason, the railroads do not adj

cola paper. l am fond 3f Pensacola
and her people and think 1t one of the
finest places in the world to live. If
my business relations can be SO ar
ranged i may return here to live. II

be one of you to help make the great
city that we are bound TO build"
