Eight weeks have passed since
II came to Key West to recover
from an accident sustained in
Miami early last fall, and having
completely regained the health /
sought, the time is most fitting
to express to the many citizens of
this hospitable city how much l
have enjoyed being here with them
and how reluctant viii be to
leave but which l must do by the
middle of April.
Appreciates Treatment
"You may say" Mr.. Abbott
told The Citizen, Il hold in great
esteem the cordial and friendly
way in which | have been reeeiv-
ed. A committee composed of
Mayor H. C. Galley, James Rob-
erts, Frank Delaney and myself
has been making a valiant effort
to have printed 100000 copies of
rotogravure edition of 16 pages
showing views Of places of inter
est in and around Key West and
ask the aid of every public spirit
ed citizen and those firms which
are interested in the progrss of
the city and it's future to assist
in bringing this matter to sue
cessful conclusion by the end of
this week.
| 'The edition, which will be
about the size of the new maga-
zine Life, will have a direct circu-
lation to thousands of visitors
from every section of the United
| States, who come into the state
/ of Florida and will, without ques-
ton, bring to this beautiful trop-
! ical city, hundreds of people who
may later be the influence which
will induce thousands of others to
come, and this will, naturally,
mean an increase in industry and
development, thus speeding the
return of great prosperity, of
which your city and the people
are al so deserving.
This beautiful and attractive
advertising edition should be out
at this time, in advance of the
completion of the new highway,
and the price of each copy
amounts to only but two and one
tenth cents per copy, and although
the committee has called on a
number of people, singly and col
lectively, time does not permit
contracting all.
Ten-Day Limit
Asked if there was a time limit
placed on the printing period, Mr..
Abbott said that there was and
''the printing contract would ex-
pire if not used within 10 days.
That is the reason l am asking
everybody to grasp this great OPP
portunity by sending a check or
cash donation for any amount the
contributor feels justified in Civ
ing, and either mail it to or per-
sonally hand it to Mayor Galley,
who is acting treasurer of the
committee.
"My personal donation to this
cause has been compiling and edit
| ing the paper which is now ready
for the rotogravure company in
Atlanta. This l have done with
out any remunerations, as has
been the case with all members
of the committee. Our hope is
to see our efforts take root and
this is possible only through the
donations of the people.
/ 81 will be more than sufficient
| ly compensated" concluded Mr..
Abbott, "by bringing the benefits
which must accrue to your city,
and will feel that l have in some
measure, other than by words,
thanked the people of Key West
for the pleasant two months spent
in this fair and hospitable, happy
and healthy city,"
