! When Jim Roster Of Consolidated Ma
| val Stores Co, called me to his office
a week ago last Friday, for the purpose
| Of discussing the necessary publicity TO
put over, in a big way, the idea which
| originated with him of the proposed
Thanksgiving day trip to Crestview, that
! the people of West Florida, Including
bankers, merchants, farmers. newspaper
| men, etc, who are interested in the de-
velopment Of Yves: FIorida's marvellous
adaptability to horticultural pursuits,
might see for themselves the wonder
| full BURBERRY development on NJ: A.
| Sapp's farm, near Crastview, neither
| Mr., Roster nor 1 had any appreciation
of the results which would accrue to
the suggestion.
The matter was turned over to the
Chamber of Commerce, however, with
assurances of that organizations closest
cooperation, and ut Of mere sugges-
tion,> one of the most momentuous move
mentss ever to occur in West Florida,
has bon placed upon footing which
assures wonderful success
The people of Crestview, not even Mr..
Sapp himself, were consulted in the
matter at ALL the first announcement of
! the proposal Of the Pensacola Chamber
of Commerce to take West Florida to
see the Sapp farm, having been made
in the columns Of The Journal Of last
Sunday.
Response is Wonderful.
Nevertheless, Crestview's and Okla
loosa County's response, including the
little wonder city of New Valparaiso, in
South Okaloosa county, has been Won
derful beyond compare.

ern hospitality is still cardinal princi
pie with southern folk and not one Of
the lost arts. <..,.
Nor are the people of Okaloosa county
calling their entertainment Crestview
or New Valparaiso entertainment. In
stead, they have been pleased to call it.

To suggest that participation in such
