term. Cary Hardee is a man whom

indecent or profane language, or tell
ing smutty story, even in gath
ering of men, much less before all

is the exact opposite of the present

the highest compliment that could be

WHAT THE BANKERS
SAW AT PENSACOLA

The year 1919 was, perhaps, the
most successful from a standpoint OF
general prosperity, that Pensacola
has ever experienced. More money
was deposited in the banks, more
business was transacted by the mer-
chants more industries were put un-
der way than in any other period o.
community development.
It is claimed in some quarters that
Pensacola is at standstill. But let
us see if this is true.
The financial and business houses
of the city are still doing a rushing
business and industrial development
is still making wonderful Roadway
The year 1919 was great year, in
that, hostilities having ceased, bust
ness men were in position to take up
their commercial plans where they
had left off, at the entrance of the
United States into the world war.
Leftover jobs were finished, and a
number of new enterprises were
started
When the Bankers Convention met
in Pensacola last week, it was with
pride in achievement that the bust
ness men of this community intro
duced them to the enterprises which
have been recently established here as
well as the old business landmarks
What did these men see-whal
have they taken away with them be-
sides a picture of the deepest bay
south of Newport News?"
They visited the greatst aviation
station in the world and say men in
manouevers. They visited the biggest
and best shipbuilding plant south of
Norfolk and saw the ships completed
in process of construction, and they
| learned of the contract just entered
| into for six more great steel vessels
for London firm, built along muc.
! the same lines as those which have
! been constructed or the United States
Shipping Board
They saw one Of the largest float
ing dry docks in the country, nearin,4
its completion; such dock as vii
surpass anything of the kind on the
Gulf of Mexico
They saw a great oil terminal, wit,
capacity of over six and a quarter
million gallons of oil; the best bunk
er coal terminals on the gulf, anf
learned of the municipal docks, now
pending.
They visited one OF the most mod
crn high density cotton compresses
in the south, fast nearing completion
and were introduced to some of tn,
best farming land in Florida.
! They put up at one of the hes
hotels in the state, and last, but per
haps longest to be remembered b,
them, enjoyed fish dinner on tn
Gulf Beach.
| Among those attending the conven
ton were many to whom this wa
not a first visit, and these men ex
ressed amazement at the rapid stride
Of development here.
Not only at what has been accom-
plished, but at the work that is still
in progress.
Pensacola is finishing off the job
undertaken last year, and is gettin
ready for new enterprises, anon
!; which is the establishment of ne,
trade routes to foreign ports.
These men learned that the export
shipped from Pensacola during tn
, past year were greater in volume tina
, exports of the entire state, with tn
exception of Key West, and that las
year exceeded the combined export
| of the 1918 exports, including Ke
/ West.
, They have gone away with ne
appreciation of Pensacola and it's OF
: portunities.
