FINE PAMPHLET IS
ISSUED BY |. & \.

Pensacola comes in for a large
share of publicity in the new L. & n.
winter resort folder just issued, and
the admirable account is supplement-
ed by numerous excellent photo
graphs.
The pamphlet is handsomely pre-
pared. and the style of the text is
that of personal record of a trav-
eller along the American Riviera.
Starting at Pensacola, the charms of
the seacoast towns are wildly des-
cribed. and in addition to Turing the
visitor from the frozen north. it
brings those who live in the favored
section to a better realization of the
natural advantages.
Such publicity, and the congestion
on the east coast, will doubtless
make this a banner winter season for
Pensacola, and the entire section of
which this city is the eastern tip.
