PENSACOLA SHOULD
BE THE QUEEN OF THE
CITIES OF THE GULF
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED
INFARE REFUNDING PLAN
Merchants Receive Requests
for Information From
Out-of-Town.

Great interest is being manifested
by out of town people in the Big
Fare Refunding Festival Week OF
April 5th to April 18th inclusive. Many
of the merchants have had enquiries
regarding the details OF the plan which
is being promoted by The Journal,
and the schedule of towns together
with the amounts necessary to pur-
chase, in order to have the amount OF
fare refunded, which will be published
as the front page of the Feature Sec
ton by The Journal next Thursday,
is being awaited with considerable in
terest.
The important feature of the plan,
and that which is Of most interest to the
cons sumner. is that a person living with
in q. hundred miles or more may come
TO Pensacola and do his shopping on
the same basis and with the same ad-
vantages as those who are living in
The Deep Water City.
Already plans are under way by the
merchants to set aside one week in
each month in which the out-of town
ers may come to Pensacola to trade
without figuring in the cost of trans
portation. That such move would
be a wise one and would do much to
stimulate activity in the local market
seems to be the undivided opinion
among the Pensacola business men.
One prominent merchant said that
while the territory from which bust
ness could be drawn was rather linn
ited at the present time. it was grow
ing rapidly and he predicted that with
in a short period the Deep Water City
would be backed up by as rich and
thriving a farming community as
could be found in the South. He
stated that local people had no idea of
NFa-
eating around Pensacola and If they
did he predicted it would open their
eyes 'Tf we can get the Refunding
Pls1, tlaesoagh1y esteioftelaed il will
grow as the country grows and doubly
assist in the groorth-of Pensacola" he
further added.
The Journal calls the attention of
those merchants who have Joined in
the pan to the necessity for having
copy OF their announcements for the
Feature Festival Section in the office
as early today as possible.
The Journal repeats the suggestion
made some days ago in reference to
local people inviting their friends in
the OUTLYING towns in for the Festi-
val Week.
Following is the list of merchants
