DO you WANT MORE PRoFITsa

Why should merchant in Key West
advertise?
The answer is, ITO sell more goods !"
This will reduce unit costs and either
make larger profits or enable the concern
to reduce prices to attract larger sales.
How should man in Key West adj
vertise?
Well, that depends. We would nat
urally suggest that an advertiser try vari-
Gus methods to determine which produce
the best results The use of this newspaper
as an advertising medium by many adver-
Users over long period should suggest
that it pays them.
However, if you have any objections
to spending money for the purpose of maxi
ing more money, there is no use to adver-
tise. Certainly, unless you intend to go at
the thing in business-like manner there is
no use to expect results. Why not let US
talk to you about sensible advertising pro-
gram for your business?

THE LAST ITALIANS

Italian DICTIONARIES continue to arrive
in Naples, Italy, on their way home from
service in Spain.
AS each batch of fighting men return,
it is announced that they are the "last
Italians" from Spain, but the troops keep
coming. There is no telling how many
Italians are still in Spain, where Gen.
Franco seems to be having trouble keeping
his own generals in line.
Italian participation in the Spanish
civil war. long denied, is now admitted. It
is strange exhibition of duplicity in inter-
national affairs, with the evident con-
nivance of the nations to which denials
were addressed.

WHY A YACHT BASIN?

Every time the proposal to create a
yacht basin at Garrison Blight is brought
UP few of our short-sighted and long
winded citizens set up howl of anguish
The word yacht mentioned to them has
the same effect as tossing cat on dogs
back
Now that the yacht basin plan APP
pears to be heading toward contamination
the number of bowls per square mile is in
creasing. Why should money be spent for
yacht basin for the use of the idle rich?
While other people struggle to make a liv-
ing, why should the city spend money for
yacht basin? The very idea!
Now that the question has been
brought up we might advance . few
thoughts that might help to flatten some
of these hoWls In the first place, Garrison
Blight is navigable body of water Con-
struction of a new entrance to the blight
and deepening of the water for yacht
basin does not remove the blight from pub
lie use In short. every boatman would be
permitted to anchor or tie up there. The
blight would be sheltered protection for
fishing boats and small craft Of all descrip-
tions
Regarding the pleasure boat, the
yacht, Key West must eventually make
some provision for anchorage and docking
of such craft if it expects to continue as a
vacation and resort center. Sooner or later
the submarine base now used as a yacht
basin will be closed to all except naval
vessels. Where will visiting yachts find
shelter then?
The plan is to improve Garrison Blight
for that purpose. Much of the cost will be
provided by WPA. The work will require
employment of relief workers 1t will be a
fire improvement and one that will at
tract large numbers of yachts to Key West
and provide our fishermen with shelter for
their boats.
Yachts are expensive playthings. The
owners of them usually are pretty we'll
to-do.. They spend literally and are large
buyers of food, ice, gasoline and oil and
other supplies and materials. They en-
ploy many of our townspeople as fishing
guides. Their business increases the gen.
eral volume of trade, hence affords many
others of our citizens employment. If 200
to 500 yachts are tied up here every sea-
son the city would enjoy greater pros
perity than it does now
That's why yacht basin is important.
Key West needs trade of all kinds. Every
thing that can be done to attract trade
should be done. The yachtsman should be
encouraged to come here. Nothing should
be done to discourage him coming here.
The Citizen believes that next to beaches,
yacht basin is one of the most important
resort improvements needed by the city.

TRAILER PLAYS GAME
OF HIDE AND SEEK
.nw Associated Press)

SCOTTSBLUFF, Nebr., Aug b.
George Whitman, filling sta
ton operator, was inspecting a
tire on a truck when a runaway
trailer came speeding across the
station driveway.
The trailer just missed him,
ran between the gasoline pumps
and the station, crossed an oil
rack runway, careened across a
vacant space, and came to gen.
tie stop beside a signboard.
A short time later George
Heimbuch stopped by to report
his trailer had broken loose and
that although he'd retraced a IL
mile course he couldn't find any
evidence of it.
Heimbuch cleared up the mat
ter in a hurry.

Automobile hornblowing is a menace

to safety and health, and the outmoded
practice causes auto accidents and upsets
nerves. Key West, unfortunately, re-
mains victim of the habit formed in the
early years of motor traffic when there
were few motor cars. Often mistakingly
identified with safe driving, it has been
proven that it is just the contrary. In
Europe, where hornblowing has been al
most eliminated, traffic mishaps have de
clined appreciably Most cities in the
United States have ordinances against UNI
necessary horn blowing, which is now gem
orally considered nuisance that should
be abated.
