The Florida Motorists Alliance
and the Florida Motorists Club
have only recently completed their
arrangements for publishing their
official publication, in its present
form, and they plan to cover one
section of Florida each month,
during the next year, in a cOmpre-
hensivc manner and to provide to
motorists and tourists in the state
a combination history and guide
to the historic treasures that Flor
ida posses and to the natural re-
sources and beauties of Florida.
Need of a publication of this
character has long been recognized
and the experience of Maj. Col
Inns. Mr.. Edmunds and their as
sociates in the magazine publish
ing and automobile association
fields has shown them the tremen-
dous opportunities for publicizing
special areas through a magazine
devoted to the interests Of automo-
bile owners; (prObably the largest
field for successful advertising in
the United States).
Key West is very fortunate in
securing a special edition of the
Florida Motorists for October as
