BERCMANS WERE
DELIGHTED WITH
KEY WEST VISIT
SUNDAY EDITOR OF PHILA-
DELPHIA RECORD WRITES
TO KEY WEST CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE

Bernard A. Bergman, Sunday
editor of the Philadelphia Rec
ord, who with Mrs. Bergman,
spent a delightful visit last week
in Key West, writes the Cham
Der of Commerce the following
letter:
"Well here I am back in the
sleet and the cold, and wishing
I was back in Key West again.
Sorry we had to get away so
quick, but we decided in hurry
to see the sunrise over the Over
seas Highway, and it's one of
the most exciting trips we ever
had.
We'll be seeing you in the
summer, and we thank every
body in Key West for the many
kindnesses shown us during our
visit.
Discussing the problems of
Key West Secretary Singleton
said: "Brickbats and bouquets
all come in the same mail. From
a friend of Key West interview
ing a tourist agency in Miami
comes the statement that he was
told we were the happy pos
SCISSORS of two hotels and three
restaurants, that 100 miles of the
road were rotten and that hav-
ing seen the highway he might
as well turn back as there was
nothing else to see.
Moreover Fort Jefferson must
have been blown off the course
as the informant stated that it
was forty miles from Key West,
reached by boat which made a
trip every two weeks and there
was no one at the fort except a
caretaker".
But the bouquets show that
the longer they stay the better
they like Key West, and The
Citizen was given the excerpts
from the letter of Mr.. Bergman,
and the secretary continued by
saying that one of the most faith
full friends of Key West is the
Highway Traveller, issued by the
Greyhound Lines, and prepares
''for the many inquiries which
will be soon pouring in from
readers of that interesting maya
zine'', and produced another let
ter from the Highway Traveller,
A. P. Hogan, Advertising Sales
Manager of the periodical:
You will be glad to know that
we were able to give Key West
"a breaks by inserting an ad copy
in the February-Ma issue of
the magazine without charge or
obligation. The issue will have
a circulation of over 275,000
copies. We hope that it will de
velop both inquiries and visitors.
Several of the Greyhound Of
ficials, including the writer, plan
to Be %in-SKey West around the
fore part of March. Our main
objective will be fishing, and we
would like to be able to secure
boat for fishing for a day or
two.
