MORE PUBLICITY
FOR ISLAND CITY
CHAMB Err OF COMMERCE
HAS NEW METHOD TO
PUBLICIZE CITY

The Key West Chamber of
Commerce has approved meth
cd for further publicizing Key
West. The story of the city will
be told in an attractive and con-
densed form, on letterheads and
the envelopes leaving here for the
four corners of the earth.
Key West has as interesting a
story to tell as has any city in the
country. All that is NEEDED to do
is to tell it, and the pet ambition
of the Chamber of Commerce,
mo dull season next summer"
will be realized, states the secre-
tary.
Literally thousands of letters
going out from Key West will
carry this message.
The seal bearing the words,
''Drive to Key West over the only
overseas highway to the only
frost-free city; best fishing in the
u. S." will have a special interest
for Key West since it bears out
the theory of the Chamber of
Commerce that home products
are best. The drawing, reproduc-
ed on the seal is the work of
Steve Singleton, Jr., who has the
job of remembering where Steve
Singleton, ST., puts things at the
Chamber of Commerce and who,
arriving in Key West from Penn
sylvania in July, has already be-
come an enthusiastic native, it is
shown. The seal is an invitation
and a news story condensed.
Oval stickers are to be furnish
ed at a neglible cost to business
and professional men by Harry
Davis, who has distributed these
in great numbers to the great
commercial cities of the north,
and also in Palm Beach, Sarasota,
st. Petersburg, Fort Myers,
Gainesville, and many other re-
sort cities of the state.
Mr.. Davis comes bringing high
ly commendatory letters from
Chambers of Commerce where
his project has been adopted. The
desigAfor the home product is
being prepared by young Steve
Singleton, genial assistant to the
secretary of the local chamber.

Halt ROLU

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 d.N.S).
A new version, involving a few url-
gallant episodes in the midst of a
good old-fashioned scuffle in which

maker, emerged today as police

fered by Mrs. Elizabeth Eaton Gug-
eenheim, 80, as she celebrated her
divorce from Col. Robert Guggen-
helm, heir to a $269, ,O00, 900 copper
fortune.
In short, it began to appear, &C
cording to police, that a table
not a blackjack-was the instru-
ment that injured Mrs. Guggen-
helm.
The new picture transformed in
some striking details the earlier
version of assault. robbery and
pursuit. According to the Queen
Village constabulary, Mrs. Gug-
genheim was rudely showed
against a table edge. It all hap
pened in the pre-dawn hours Of
yesterday in a Queens Village
tavern.
"SLUGGTNG" RELATED
According to the first story, two
"swarthy men" slugged Mrs. Gug-
genheim and robbed her Of $500.
They also bruised her youthful
companion, John Fry, jr., horse
trainer, taking $161.
Police checked up this version
and said they learned others pres
ent at the tavern celebration were
Mrs. Bessie Upjohn, like Mrs.
Guggenheim,. a member Of Long
Islands horsey set, and a Mrs.
Paul." whose last name was not
revealed.
According to police, Mrs. Up
John explained:
"Mrs. Guggenheim slipped
and fell against a table, cutting
her chin"
Another ringside witness de-
clared:
ZONE OF THOSE THINGS"
Someone at the party pushed
Mrs. Guggenheim out of chair.
She hit her chin"
A third eyewitness conceded:
"It was just one of those
things. A man socked Fry and
there was scuffle. Mrs. Gug-
genheim tried to act as peace
maker. She stepped between the
fighters, and that's how she got
hurt"
A detective was sent to talk
with Mrs. Guggenheim and try to
straighten everything out.
