as headquarters, James A. Logwood,
president, said last night that Pensa-

section as the best in hunting and
fishing opportunities of any part of
the south.
Saving in Costs.
| Through cooperation with the
owners we have been able to secure
hunting and fishing privileges on
thousands of acres of land in this part
of the state, and automobile owners
are being invited to become members
Of the club.
"The organization is cooperative
throughout, giving to its members
upon the payment OF dues which are
comparatively small, certain privileges
and economical pleasures not other
wise secured by travellers over the
highways of the south.
Through equitable arrangements
with various business concerns of the
southern states, including leading no
tells in many cities, members of the
organization are assured of fair and
courteous treatment, economical ad
vantages also enter into the move
ment.
Pleasure Motorcade.
"Atlantans are much interested in
the club which we have formed and
which is to be operated along national
lines, and in a few months probably
about June, we intend to organize a
motorcade from Atlanta to Pensacola,
with fifty cars making the trip from
the hills Of Georgia to the Gulf of
Mexico.
While our organization IS just in
It's inctpiency, already hundreds of
Georgians have Joined our ranks, and
we feel confident that throughout the
country the interest will be as great.
THE Atlanta Constitution has fea-
tured the movement and the publicity
which has come to Pensacola through
the story carried in the Constitution
and display advertising calling atten-
ton to the hunting and fishing, and
other outdoor diversions of Pensacola
and contiguous territory, should mean
much for this city and section.

Membership Dues.
THE club is to be supported solely
by membership dues, which are to be
used for the necessary operating ex-
penses, such as the publication of a
guide and director for its membership
and to secure cooperation from ga
RACES, accessory dealers, merchants,
hotels and pleasure resorts. Through
this cooperative association anyone
may tour Florida or elsewhere and
enjoy the real pleasures of motoring,
without prohibitive cost"
The display advertising which is ap-

hunters returning from a successful
trip, with a fine antlered trophy.

Pensacola Opportunities.
That the company chose Pensacola
as it's location because this section Of
ters superb opportunities for outdoor
diversion, summer and winter, and on
account of the fact that this part Of
Florida is less crowded than farther
south, was given as one reason for
locating the head offices in this city.
Mr.. Logwood stated yesterday, how
ever, that arrangements have also
been completed with the Bay Island
hotel, near Sarasota, on Sarasota bay,
and Crescent Beach. Florida, whereby
special privileges VIII be accorded the
members.

interest the present plans for county
