all, each and every member of the
! Chamber of Commerce. and of our cit
izenship truly wish to serve you and
make you feel at home.
This assembly chamber is dedicated
to you for all year-'round use
Let it also be your rendezvous, your
place Of meeting, your trysting place
| where the white haired boys may meet
and swap reminiscent stories among
themselves, or where the lifelong
friendship of a genial husband and
wife may be renewed in the restful
period of life, when silver threads APP
pear among the gold, after the family
has been educated, grown up and have
now homes of their own This is the
room to come to when it is raining or
cold winds are sweeping down from
Your northern summer homes This
room is your home. It's doors have
been standing open all summer in mute
and longing welcome to you ever since
last you left US. This is the room Of
unconventional, informal gatherings,
TO which the lady tourists may bring
their knitting or fancy work and gossip.
We hope that you will organize a
tourists association or club, somewhat
on the plan of your last years ac-
tivity. Be sure and have state pro-
grams. Our citizens will agree to sing
again with the Ohio state crowd not
sighting other states who may invite
us to your friendly social gatherings.
You viii be specially invited to at
tend our churches. our Sunday schools
and our church societies by the proper
representatives of our different church
organizations, just as you We're last
winter. Just go TO the church denom-
ination which you attend at home You
are expected to do this. Take an ae-
tive part We need you Some of
you have splendid voices. Let them
sing to the glory of God in our
churches. Some of you are church |
workers. Please work with us for the |
Master. If you are a public reader, |
as one eminent lady tourist is who |
has come to live with us many winters. |
please let your light shine. The Great |
Master needs your services here in |
Pensacola just as we'll as. at your sum- !
mer homes Indeed, you owe it to Him /
to serve here in your southern home |
at Pensacola just as well as at your /
northern homes. Surely. you will be
welcomed at any particular one of our |
churches to which you might incline |
to attend
MANY of the tourists of last winter
never did go back home north, but /
stayed right here with us and are now I
counted among our best and most use
full citizens We hope and have rea-
son to believe that some of you viii /
form such strong attachments to
friends our CITY and orr climate that
you will make Pensacola your all year
round place of residence
Our interest in you is not from a
mercenary standpoint alone The fact
that we met you last winter has had
a kindly influence upon us The fact
that you met US last winter had kind
" influence upon you. AS we've sailed
in this earthly habiliment on the sea of
life, the fact that our ships have hailed
and spoken to one another, have ex-
benign and friendly and up 1
lifting greetings, and given our lati- 4
tute and longitude-all this has made Il
US mutually better men and better
worthy OF one another
and more worthy OF the places in life u
that we fill. We just want you and
as many more as is possible for this
good social and moral influence to
come year by year until Pensacola
shall receive a permanent and indie
structible reputation OF not only ca
-ering to the physical and bodily life
Of our splendid tourists, but also to
the social and higher life making life u
with US a real sedative, truly restful
winter home.
