queried those agencies coming in
contact with the travelling public
about the numbers of persons ask
ing for information and about the
various questions asked. The All
Florida Committee. whose present
membership comprises all owners
of newspapers, radio stations and
outdoor advertising plants in the
state, has inaugurated a state
wide campaign of advertising TO
inform Flaridians themselves
about their own state. baSing the
advertisements on those subjects
which seem to be of greatest in
terest TO visitors.
Current advertisement of the
committee, appearing in this IS
sue of The Citizen, entitled "The
Empire That Is Florida" points
to the versatility Of accomplish
mcnts in the state and the wide
variety in its backgrounds, pro-
ducts and potentialities. This
series Of advertisements has been
carefully planned 20 give Flori-
dams an accurate picture Of their
