This ancient city, which was called

Press Comment

Keeping Up Its Record.
Out of forty seven Florida cities ard
towns reported so far by the census
bureau forty-five have shown an m
crease. The five that failed To grow
are Jasper. White Springs, Lake City,
Greenville and Lee-all in the north
ern part of the state.
The cities and towns of south Flor
ida have shown increases ranging from
the 447.O per cent of Zephyrhills and
and the 440.1 per cent of Miami, and
the 24S.S per cent OF st. Petersburg
down to lesser figures. but the increase
is in them all.
The Tribune has pointed out that
this difference between the two parts
so much as to the fact that south
Florida believes in doing things and
telling about it. while the rest of the
state, save Duval county, believes that
"all things come to him who waits"
and IF the ravens fed Elijah. how
much more will they feed me, oh you
of little faith?" and all that.
The Pensacola Journal sees now that
west Florida and north Florida must
go after the things it wants, and tells
its readers:
Everyone of the cities in Florida
which has made notable increase in
population has worked out well-sys-
tematized method of publicity. Miami
spends thousands of dollars each year,
not only extensively advertising its
resources, but paying for many public
entertainments planned for the pleas
ure of tourists during the winter
months.
st Petersburg has program of
publicity which includes a paid pub
lefty agent who puts st. Petersburg
on the map. and is making it one of
the best known cities in the state.
West Palm Beach advertises ex-
tensively.
Pensacola is one OF the few cities
of any size in the state that pays no at
tention whatsoever to advertising its
resources. Except for the gratutious
publicity given this city by the news
papers and correspondents, Pensacola
is practically unadvertised. except for
that advertising which comes to it
through the channel of the chamber of
commerce"
When north and west Florida rouse
themselves and advertise that they
have made ready for settlers and Wis
itors, then we will read of great in

A Tale of Two Cities
The South Atlantic ports found that
by organizing their efforts they could
secure for themselves all the ship
ping, all the favoring rates. and all
the business they needed.
The city of Jacksonville, through its
board of trade, not only spent time,
personal effort, and money in this CO.
operative organization which has been
built up, but it appropriated and
raised some ten thousand dollars to
pay the expenses of a delegation to
go with representatives from the 9TH
err South Atlantic port cities on a
Swing around" through Central Mid
dlewestern and Western cities for
the purpose of acquainting these
business making centers with the adj
vantages to them of shipping through
Jacksonville and the other South At
lantic ports. None of those cities par
ticipating in the trip knew for GER
tain it would bring results at once.
but they knew that in unity is strength
and they knew that what you do not
go after seldom comes to you
Tampa has recently been shocked
to find that one result of that co-op-
GRAFTON by South Atlantic port cities
was to get put freight rates. on GER
tain commodities. discriminatory
against Tampa. Tampa made quite
a cry-out, through it's press, and
some live citizens. 1t was found that
no Gulf ports organization existed
that could handle the situation. The
papers of west and Gulf coast Florida,
led by the Tribune, called on the cit
les trimming the Gulf to get together
and fight for their rights and their
life. The North Florida Chamber of
Commerce took the initiative and
called for meeting of representatives
from every port city on the Gulf of
Mexico, to be held at Pensacola to-
day, August 6, for the purpose of or
ganizing a Gulf Coast Ports Associa-
ton.
Officials of the Tampa Board of |
Trade said that body would not be
represented there, as the problem now
before the city would probably not be |
solved by the Pensacola gathering. |
The board of port commissioners re-
ceived an invitation to the meeting
but all members had other engage
ments to prevent their attendance

THE PENSACOLA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE

The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce is taking on. new life. and with
Hunter Brown at the head and J. "
Price capably acting as first lieuten-
ant, the commercial organization seems
to be getting in good stride.
The secretary has sent out to mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce and
other organized bodies the following
summary Of work accomplished during
the month of July, which makes a fine
showing.
Committees are actively at work
furthering the Gulf Beach Highway
and Municipal Dock.
Active assistance given to the pas
sage of school bonds.
Data furnished for a prospective
veneer factory.
Cooperation and tender of assis-
lance to health authorities.
Efforts made to induce the Mallory
Line to make this a port of call
An appropriation of $4,000 to the
Escambia County Good Roads Associa-
tion to assist in the excellent work
being accomplished by that body.
Inquiries from prospective residents
have been unusually heavy. A letter
received today from friend in Mar
inette. Wis, requesting. fifty folders
descriptive of Pensacola for distribu-
ton in that section.
Appended to this are the following
suggestive comments:
Better schools assured.
New buildings being erected.
Gulf Beach Highway going good.
Everybody busy.
Better cooperation. All working
toward the same end--the upbuilding
of Pensacola.
We are growing in prestige and
power. 1t is true we are growing
slowly, but what good was ever ac-
complished in the world that was not
of slow growth.
The progressive Pensacola spirit is
in the saddle. It's driving power is
increasing and we ara working for
bigger and better things.
Next regular meeting, August 10. 4
p. m. Be there with a smile and a few
good suggestions.
These monthly letters are an ex-
cellent medium for putting members
who fail to go to the meetings in touch
with the accomplishments of the com
mercial body. However, it may be
pointed out here that there are entirely
too many of these members.
The commercial association is yours,
and at its meetings are discussed mat
tiers in which you are interested, if you
are a real citizen with the real inter-
est of the city at heart. Every pub
lie question involves every business
man in Pensacola, whether in favor or
against the proposition. If he is in
favor of any project which the Cham
Der of Commerce is trying to put
across, he should attend the meetings.
If he is opposed, he certainly should
attend, and openly express his views,
instead of waiting until the movement
get across. and then registering his
Every man who is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce has right to
attend these meetings-or rather, II
may be said, an obligation to attend
We have put over some great pro-
jects lately, one of the most import
ant which is the bonding for public
school Improvement.
The next great problem we have to
face it that of municipal docks. Every
member of the commercial association
should attend the next meeting. and
see that "the progressive spirit of Pen
sacola" stays in the saddle and keeps
the old nag of public opinion at high
speed, until those municipal docks are
under way.
