LARRIMORE FEELS KEY WEST HAS GREAT FU- TURE, ESPECIALLY AS AN “ANGLER’S PARADISE” “This is my second fishing trip | into the Key West area. My en- thusiasm has reached a new high. One cannot help but visualize what the future holds for this area, With the establishment of the highway, a pipe line for wa- ter, private, airplane facilities and the regular commercial air- lines. its fine yacht basin, there} ean be no doubt but that the glory that was once Key West’s will again be hers. Key West will undoubtedly be known as the Angier’s Paradise.” The foregoing was the expres- sion of James T. Larrimore, éx- ecutive of the Rod and Reel Club of Miami Beach who, with Mrs. Larrimore were week-end guests of Frederick Wagner, charter member of the club, for a fish- ing exeursion on Mr. Wagner's Yacht Paula Louise, arriving Thursday and after two days at Marquesas, returned on the Ten- der La Grass Widow, accompan- ied by Mr. Wagner’ Mrs. Inez Fesser. Mr. and Mrs. } Larrimore left by plane yesterday | afternoon for M i j Another member of the party! was to be Earl Carrol, who, due| to unforseen business demands, eould not arrive. Mr. Larrimore said that Mr, Carroll is undoubt-| edly the world’s most enthusiastic Fisherman as he will come to Key West later and leave 36 of the! most beautiful girls in the world} in order to fish. Mr. Larrimore is of the opin-! ion that Key West should be} known as the angling suburb of! Greater Miami. adjacent as it is “to fishing grounds of all char- seteristics.. you ,will-find record fishing reflecting credit to this area. “It would be most unfortunate if the genial promoters of Key West overlooked such essential at- | tributes to community advertis- ing.”” Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Wag-} ner, Jr., who arrived Saturday! from their home in Grantwood, N. J.. left this morning on La Grass Widow, accompanied by Mrs. Fes- ser, to join Mr. Wagner’s father; on the Paula Louise. They plan} to remain here for about three weeks.
