RUSSELL, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
The majority opinion sets forth the facts -of the case and also the appellant’s contentions and citations of the applicable law. I think the authorities relied upon for reversal require that result since, in my opinion, the facts present show that the activities of the defendant (circulation and sale and the promotion thereof) amounted to “doing business” within the State of Florida; the injury claimed, if existent, is connected with such activities; and the defendant had an agent in Florida upon whom service could properly be effected. Florida Statutes Annotated, § 47.17(5). I respectfully dissent.
