CRESCENT CITY

Rev. r. 7. CHATTER extended his
trip last week to take in Tallahassee
and jacksonville. In the former place
he took up the matter of hotel build
in requirements with the State Hotel
Commissioner. He also interviewed
the Secretary of State in reference
to the charter for incorporation. In
Jacksonville Mr.. Chafer had a very
encouraging talk with Mr.. J. Harvey
Whitney, secretary of the State Ho-
tel Association. Mr.. Whitney is con-
versant with the exceptional attrac-
lions of Crescent City AMI freely
expressed the opinion that no locali-
ty in Glorida offers greater oppor-
tunities for rapid development then
our town provided the people hearth
ly pushing the various contemplated
improvements. He showed interest
in the new hotel project and predict
ed great success for the enterprise,
and offered all the facilities of his
new office and information bureau to
acquaint the public with our pleas.
He also requested full particulars
concerning the new place to be known
as THE Cables" the high class board
ing house which will be under the
management of Miss Bessie Williams
The board TO directors of the Cres-
cent City Development Company met
at the home of Mr.. B. F. Tillinghast
Monday night and organized for an
aggressive campaign in Crescent City
and vicinity to complete the sub
scriptions for tn enew hotel project.
The following facts should be given
the widest publicity: G) The stock
certificates of this corporation are a
good investment Mr.. Ferriss, who
will be the lessee and manager, is
investing $4,000. With a long eX-
perience in the tourist hotel bust
ness during which he has been uni
formly successful, he makes the
statement that he confidently expects
his stock to pay him dividends and
that if he did not have this conf
dence born of a long successful ca
reer he would not invest a dollar of
his money in the company's stock.
There are not classes of stock, all
will share alike. (2) Aside from the
value of the stock every dollar invest
ed in this project will bring rich in
direct returns to every property
owner in the town and vicinity. No
property owner can afford to neglect
the opportunity to help finance this
project. 81 Every business house,
every professional man will benefit
directly by the opening of the new
hotel next season. 1t would be short
sighted indeed for any business or
professional man to be known in this
community as failing to heartily
support the project. The vast ma
jority are back of this movement
and the directors call upon Crescent
City to make it 100 per cent. sup.
port. When you are called upon by
the directors for your SUBSCRIPTION
remember the above facts.
Reports from the hospital at Jack
sonville show that Mrs. W. C. Cart
ledge is recovering from her recent
, illness and operation and will soot
| return home.
