REGULAR VISITORS DECIDE
KEY WEST IS EXCELLENT
PLACE TO ESTABLISH WIN.
TER HOME

"You may say that after visit
ing Key West since 1919, practic-
ally every vacation period, I have
at last become convinced that the
place for a winter home is here,
and that fishing in these waters
cannot be surpassed" said Jacob
Schneider, who was here for a
short time, accompanied by Mrs.
Schneider, and left today for Mi
ami enroute to the home in De-
troitoI
Mr.. Schneider is head of the
Schneider Theatrical Enterprises,
with six theaters in his home
city, and is a firm believer in the
future of Key West. For this rea.
son he.intends to return in about
five weeks, and will at that time
consider the purchase of a win
ter home here and discuss the
possibility of securing location
for modern picture theater.
While here he and Mrs. Schrei-
Der went with Captain Bra Saun-
ders on a fishing trip and caught
his first sailfish, which was one
of the prizes of the season. The
catch measured z feet 8 inches,
and was a perfect specimen in
every particular. AS an expert
menter in color photography, he
has made a number of wonderful
pictures of scenes in Key West,
and will have them finished on
his return to Detroit, and exhibit
them to his friends.
Before visiting Key West this
year they went to Dallas, Texas,
for the exposition, and had, while
here, two large Mexican hats
which he purchased in Dallas.
The "sombreros" had crowns IL
inches high, and the width of the
headgear measured, from rim to
rim, three feet. Before leaving
today he said he had left one of
the hats here to be presented to
Mrs. Ernest Hemingway, upon

Marketing Bureau Official
Writes Here On Subject
Dealing With Key Lines

it is said this means, as pointed
out by Mr.. Wilson, may result in
a substantial increase of prosper
ity to the lime growers on the
Keys.
At the meeting of the county
commissioners held on WedneS~
day, December 8, Mr.. FELTON, and
others discussed the matter of
marketing Key lines, and several
ideas were advanced to stabilize
the industry and secure for the
Key product a market which
would meet requirements and get
the fruit placed properly before
the users.
In connection with the several
propositions made, a letter from
Secretary Singleton, of the Cham
Der of Commerce, was read, rela-
tive to the methods of marketing
the fruit and in which it was sug-
geSted that the matter be taken
up with MIR. Wilson, of the Flor
ida Farm Marketing Bureau.
1t is pointed out that the mat
ter has aroused the interest of
Mr.. Wilson and his offer to do as
he proposes, is one instance of
the manner in which these mat
tiers are at once taken by the bu-
reau, when they prove feasible,
and the willingness with which
MIR. Wilson will join in getting a
stabilized product to the public.

fore the meeting. i. caused con-
siderable discussion. Councilman
Doughtry expressed himself in q
way that he did not feel that Mr..
Roberts was the proper one to
start a campaign, declaring that
he had hear that Roberts conduct
in these matters did not warrant
him taking such a stand against
gambling violations.
Mr.. Doughty further stated
that he was opposed to gambling,
but revealed that inasmuch as
there are so many people in Key
West who want to play bolita and
take part in other gambling, that
he thought that there should be
some concerted action on the part
of the people to have these viola
tons stopped So.
