Sarasota, Florida,
January 28, 1921.
After delightful two weeks visit
with DR.. A. A.. Wallace at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. P. Green at Miami
Beach on the east coast of Florida, /
am at the quiet little village of Sar-
asota on the west coast for little
while.
The Greens have lovely home in
the midst of cocoanut palms and other
tropical foliage right on the Atlantic
Ocean with an ideal bathing beach.
We can conceive of no better place
for busy tired man to get real rest
from the strenuous activities of life,
and at that Green had not been there
a week till he found Mr.. Glandon in
Havana, Cuba, and sold a train load
Of twenty two cars of brick.
Miami Beach, which stretches its
loveliness along a palm-fronted PEN
insula, separated from the city of
Miami by Biscayne Bay, but connected
with that metropolis of leisure by a
two and one-half mile long concrete
causeway, is a paradise of mid-winter
attractions and diversions. Today
there is superb casino, spacious and
elegant Roman sanitary salt water
pools, perfect polo field, wonderful
tennis courts, splendid golf links,
miles of dustless highways, cozy
homes and sumptuous villas, an avia-
ton field ,and here, too, is Florida's
greatest rendezvous for motor boats.
| Miami City is the Land Of Enchant-
ment, the Gem Of the SubTropics, the
/ Magic City of the East Coast! 1t is
/ the mecca for those who are seeking
a Winter Resort with city environ
ment, and to spend a season where
the soft air, the waving palms, the
gorgeous foliage and the rich vegeta-
tion of the tropics lend their potent
charm to the idyllic scene, spells com,
I fort to the visitor. Miami is famous
for her hotels, and new ones are being
added to the list each year. The city
is also well supplied with first-class
restaurants, cafetarias and tea rooms
New modern apartments may be hireC
at prices according to size and loca,
tion, and houses and bungalows galore
are for rent during the winter sea.

4 Fishing is one of Miami's greatest
attractions and the Miami Anglers
Club welcomes devotees of this sport
to its membership. A large numbel
of boats are available for deep ses
fishing, and more are building. Dur

The Hoxseys had not arrived il
Miami when we left, and we have al
idea they had bad roads and BAT
weather for their car in Georgia.
