housewives, close to 200 have
been returned with suggestions
and recommendations that Key
Westers have for merchants t."
better satisfy the buying public
here.
Local dealers have pledged
themselves TO do what they can
in the interest of shoppers by
offering wider selections of mcr-
chandise as a result of the pre-
vailing recommendation that was
received in response to the ques-
tionnaires.
Merchants point out that it
must be remembered that a num-
Der of items of merchandise are
still difficult to obtain. The deal
ers say that wholesalers and job
bers are to be pressed in an eff
fort to secure as many hard-tO-
get items as possible in order that
local retail stores may offer to
the buying public here as wide a
selection as possible.
A listing of all the nationally
advertised brands of merchandise
offered for sale in Key West stores
is being prepared and will be
published soon.
1t is felt that the public here is
unaware of the fact that most
nationally known brands of all
merchandise is stocked in Key
West stores at present, much of
which comes under the fair trade
price agreement that is sold for
one and the same price.

the pedestrian doesn't give a
hang about the motorist. The

ed with rod and reel. When
this particular pedestrian
hooks one of the 900 varieties
of fish which abound in Flori-

pen. and usually does.
SHORTS-cLAD WOMEN
The anglers-there are as
many shorts-clad women as men
fish from narrow lodges on one
of the Is miles of 80 bridges
which link the islands of the Flo
rida keys and span bodies of
water which flow across the mar
row peninsula between the Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic
Ocean.
This happens any Sunday:

Motorist Is Obliging
The motorist is most obliging.
He slows down. frequently stops.
He also is fisherman and his
interest is as keen as the other
fellows.
This slowing down. stopping is
a courtesy of this seemingly
neverending highway which
boasts of one bridge seven miles
long and another of four miles.
Few ever heard of a fisherman
getting hit by a car
The seven-mile bridge is
dandy. One would expect the
fishermen to do their angling
near the approaches. But no, they
get clear out into the middle.
How'd they get there? They
brought along someone who did
not mind driving them out and
then taking the car back to the
end and reading for a couple of
hours.
Numerous Varieties
II takes veteran angler to
call his catches by name. so
numerous are the varieties.
The fighters include the tar
pom. shark and the bonefish.
But there are shook. snapper.

other kinds.
Florida Keys fishing is not
confined to bridges. however.
The tiny islands are dotted
with fishing camps, many of
which are deliberately equipped
with twin-engine charter boats at
the backdoor.
There also are lodges where
for a nominal sum, an angler
may forget his outside worries
and concentrate on fishing. Favo-
rite dishes of these lodges are
turtle steak and lime pie.

Shifts ILLEGAL

One little matter about the
bridge fishing which few seem
t. know: it's illegal. But shh, do
rot tell anyone. Somebody might
try to enforce the law.
Another thing, anyone ventur-
ing far enough down into the
Keys will have to pay road toll,
but it isn't expensive and we'll
worth the price.
