This is the season of the year when
a great percentage of the population
of Americas workers are taking their
annual summer vacation. For rest
and recreation, for a change of scenes
for new associations, this crowd of
Americans will go to widely different
places-to the sea-shore, to the noun
tains, to the lakes, to the farms and
even to the cities.
My message tonight is about
summer vacation in Florida.
I Florida is wonderful winter play
grund-the finest place, l believe, in
all the world for a vacation during
the winter months. More and more
people are taking their vacations in
Florida in the winter months. This
largely because a greater number of
people are resting in the summer time
in the week-ends, on the golf links,
in the fishing places, etc. Americans
are learning the wisdom of Life in
the open.
The north this summer is replete
with advertisements of the many
Florida cities as summer resort plac-
es, calling the people to the south to
enjoy the climate that stands out dis
tinctly pleasant in June, July, Aug
ust and September, as it does in Jan.
and Feb.-a fine place to rest and to
enjoy life in the open.
One might we'll and truthfully say
that Florida has become the all year
resort state. From Jacksonville, the
gateway of Florida south along the
East Coast to Key West and west
ward through the state on to St.
Petersburg and Tampa lin those great,
prosperous cities of the interior of
Florida, these tourists are coming,
first to enjoy the climate of Florida
and secondly to see the wondrous OPP
portunities Florida offers.
Florida enjoyed it's greatest winter
season last winter. 1t is now enjoy
ing its greatest summer season.
Hotels in Florida are now filled
hotels that in former years, in sum-
mer, used to be empty or run at a
low capacity.
Just at present, there is a great
rush Of people to Florida cities from
the states Of Georgia, Alabama, the
Carolinas and Tennessee. People in
the interior of Florida seeking a
change are going to the Florida sea-
side resorts, there to get the wonder
full surf bathing and the sea fishing,
besides other semi-tropical sports.
North of Miami, Hollywood the
Sea, the new Florida resort city, is
sending excursions out of New York
City via the Clyde line from New
York to Miami, from where the trip
is made by motor bus to Hollywood
blythe Sea.
Observation-Disclosures is typical of
modern accommodations in the Flori-
da vacation place, mre particularly a
place along the East Coast. The ex-
cursions out of New York, the first
of which will be June Both, will be for
fourteen days, three days going and
coming on the Atlantic, and eight days
at the Hollywood Hotel-all included
in the cost-$1O0.OO. Of course this
figure means a loss to the Hollywood
Land and Water Company-an actual
loss of about $50, but it is all in the
program Of advertising Hollywood
as an all year resort city.
Florida's all-year resort city, fif-
teen miles north of Miami, and fifty
miles south of Palm Beach, has
miracle of city building. Hollywood
by-the-Sea is virie city of dversi-
fled life, with background Of natur-
al resources, perfect all-year climate,
great potentalities as an industrial
and shipping center-a city that in a
few years, measured by its present
growth and it's momentum, should be
southern Florida metropolis.
Hollywood-by-t he-Sea, now enter
tanning visitors from all parts of the
United States and Canada, was in
October, 1921, wilderness of pal
mettos, pines and tomato lands. Since
that date. this modern beautiful all
year resort city has been built.
