Why Florida Still Looks
Good to Aug. Heckscher

August Heckscher, one of the most
successful real estate operators in
New York City and a large investor
IN Florida, believes there are still
profits to be made in Florida by those
who develop their holdings.
"I believe" says Mr.. Heckscher in
Forbes Magazine IN. W, "in develop
ing a property, a neighborhood, or a
section. If Florida is to become the
state that it has every right to be-
come, it must be developed. Merely
passing the title to piece of prop
ertv three or four times week adds
nothing real to it's value. 1t takes
improvements and population to make
property worth anything.
"The profits which the lucky fly
bv-night scalpers will skim off IN
Florida Will be puny compared to
those earned by the more far--slghted
onerators who add something tangible
to the value of the country.
an my opinion the future OF Flor
ida is dependent upon its attraction
as a place for people of comfortable
means to spend their winters, and as
a vearround home f,r large numbers
cf agriculturists.
"I cannot visualize Florida as an
important manufacturing or CONNER
cial state. ;.
Large industrial development, is
NOT I believe, essential to Florida's S
nermanent growth. 1t has natural
advantages which no other state
possesses and which are quite gen
orally known. :.
"The development of Florida is
based on the unheard-o f-prosperity OF
tho whole United States. Wealth has
never before been so general ard SO
thoroughly distributed among all peo-
nIe They have the money which
enables large numbers of them to take
a few months of leisure each year.
and to spend comparatively. large
sums to get pleasure out OF thelr
lives.
"In the past, too, we were necessaf-
ily more OF less immoblle. it was
expensive to move from one place 10
another Most people knew llttle
about any part of their country other
than that near where they lived;
"To sum up: 1t is still possible TO
buv in Florida to advantage by oo-
serving the following points:
"Buy preferred locations

trays came as low as 20 per cent.

Immediately by parcel post, and 9th
