Pensacola 10 not yet great city

Beach Highway, and when next you
come to Pensacola we will take you

sacola down twelve mile stretch of
road past bay and bayou and lagoon,
straight to the Gulf Of Mexico, where
you may have q dip in the most won
derful surf in the world.
And when next you come to Pensa-

beautiful city for as much as year.
and we hope you can't--you will find
here Municipal docks, which In a short
time will be building.

over here for few days now, we shall
take pleasure In showing you over two
Of our great plants where pine tree
becomes a bottle Of tar, and everything
that once was waste about pine stump
age Is consumed and made into COM
merciAI value.
Or we will take you down to our big
ship building plant, where some Of the
finest fabricated steel vessels were
built during and since the war and
where barges and bridges are building.
Or we will be glad to show you the
greatest Red Snapper industry in the
world.
And many many other industries and
interesting things. which it Is not pos
sIble to show in the space of a day.

been furnished you--it includes a visit
to the Pensacola Naval Air station,
one of the greatest In the world; a
trip to the Qualifications at Fort Pick
ems, chowder dinner at the mess
hall at the Navy Yard. and as many
boat rides and automobile rides as can
be introduced into the schedule.

few years from now,-but Pensa-

warm appreciation of the splendid
standards OF the Knights Templars
and the principals for which the order
stands.
