What is the charm of Key
West? 1t is a city on an island.
1t has something of a foreign at
mosphere. It has an interesting
historical background. Around it
fingers romance of Pirate and Buc-
caneering days. There are stories
of buried treasure, slave-ships,
l'etc.. etc. (These things can be
capitalized and used as drawing
cards.. Tourists and strangers
like to hear about them.
In California is a little town
called Carmel. Realizing that
tourists prefer unusual things, the
people of Carmel insist that things
must be different. The result is
that almost everyone visiting the
state also goes to Carmel.
1t Key West endeavors to be
like other towns then the charm
Gill be gone. People come here to
get away from towns and cities
that are so tiresomely alike. We
came hoping to find something out
of the ordinary. We liked it and
stayed. The interest lies in the
things not found elsewhere.

the peculiar things; talked to about

for months talk to others about
their wonderful trip to Key West.
