WANTS MORE LITERATURE
FROM MACS HEAD AREA

A Prospective Virginia visitor,
planning to come to the Dare coun-
ty coast with a party of four this
season, whose name was circulated
by the Dare County Tourist Bureau
to interests catering to tourists on
their weekly bulletin, writes the
Bureau to say he prefers to stop
at Mays Head, and while he did not
receive any replies from the desir-
ed area, he received many replies
from the Hatteras, area, which
described what the party of four
desired in the way of cabin for four
people. Hatteras motels are appar-
emily on the job.
1t is apparent that the Mays
Head areas business places need
more literature to send out to in
quirers. Names of these can be OBJ
tanned from Aycock Brown.
