Commenting on the trip the Miami
Herald said:
1.-THE Pensacola boosters, travelling in
their private car, arrived in Miami Tues
day morning, and during the afternoon
were guests of the chamber of commerce,
the members of which organization car
ried their neghbors from the north on a
tour of the city. The PensaColians will
remain in Miami until Wednesday alter
noon and from here will proceed to West
Palm Beach, where they will extend the
hand of good fellowship to the residents
of that city.
THE party spent three hours in st.
Augustine Monday afternoon. In the
historic city they were guests of the
chamber of commerce and the added bit
of hospitality afforded them the oppor-
tunity of drinking from the fountain of
youth. incidentally the members of
the party caught a glimpse of Mrs. Hard
ing, who smiled pleasantly and waved
enthusiastically.
This trip is unique In that its pur-
pose is to merely shake hands with resi-
dents of the southern part of the state.
The hand of good fellowship is extend
ed everywhere, and it is always returned.
Literature pointing out the advantages
and possibilities of Pensacola is being
scattered along the route.
II think the people of Pensacola are
setting an example which other cities
throughout the state should copy" said
Editor StOneman, of the Herald, who was
a member of the reception committee.
FLORIDA is big state, and it is a WON
derful idea for the different cities TO
get on speaking terms with each other"
The consensus of opinion among the
Pensacolians is that we are having the
time of our lives and every day agrees
that the purpose of the booster trip has
already been successful"
The Miami Metropolis is likewise en-
thusiastic over the visit of the boosters,
saying:
Miami has been having the honor this
week of entertaining two delegations of
boosters-one from Florida's Deep Water
City, Pensacola; the other from Hen
Jacksonville, in the Land of the Sky
Each of these delegations has come
of course, in the interest of it's own
town. The Pensacola folks want to see
just what is making everybody talk
about Miami, not because they are es-
pecially interested in Miami, but be-
cause they want to set the world to
talking as much about Pensacola, which
has many attractions that are superior
to those of Miami.
Situated on the shores OF the most
beautiful deep water harbor in the coun-
try, surrounded by rich farming country.
accessible to other states and cities, Pen
sacola is fine town, and 1t is growing
fast and in substantial way. But PEN
sacola folks are going after still bigger
things. The delegation is going to carry
back home new vision and a new goal.''
