wUuad be In the desirable class.
MIR. Arunsey, familiar to the read
ing public an owner and publisher of
the Munssy magazinesandf four news
papers, Is a man Of wide culture, Of
brains and of wealth.
Today Frank A. Munsey writes his
income In seven figures. but when he
went to New York city to make his
way, and started his first magazine.
he failed and failed and failed and
kept ON failing, and If he had not done
all of his work himself and held on
to hts Job with the bulldog determine
ton that makes for success he would
not today be contemplating making his
winter home in Florida, and would
not be in the millionaire class. It is
men like this who are really success
full.
Mr.. Munsey has been entertained in

Pensacola. and why. If the advantages
of Pensacola and the outlying terri

dents might not be induced to erect
winter homes here.
There is nowhere that one may find
a more beautiful country than the up
sound country, or that nearer to the
city. The bay and the bayous, the
fishing grounds and hunting territory.
make Pensacola an ideal winter resort,
and the climate is the finest in the
world, the year round.
If capitalists could be induced to
come here. enjoy the fishing and hunt
ing, the picturesque surroundings, and
the charm OF the social life. always
one of the greatest attractions where
ever the navy and army are stationed.
and allied to southern hospitality, 1t
