Key West has been benumbed by the ' uncertainties and cross currents that have | seemed to set at naught all efforts to ex- ; tricate herself from a diiferent situation. ; The action taken by the city and county ! representatives of the people marks our | entrance into a new era of activity and | progre:s. | The amount required to purchase the i set, in a great measure, by the taxes due} | the city and county from the railroad. | True, we must forget our dream of a | restored Florida East Coast Railroad tak- | ing up the thread of activity where it wa: | broken off. ' When Judge Strum, deferred his de- ' cision for the announced purpose of allow- ng the receivers of the railroad to se of the property, the handvriiing on the wall made it plainly evideu. that there would be no resump- ; tion of operation under the present man- agement, M | | deavor to cis} Ost | As it is, we have no cause to be cast down.

Though “cured” by the grower before sale, it is unsuited for use without further aging. During this aging period (which ranges the case of Lucky Strike from 144 to 3 years) important changes occur. These “Nature” changes result in the partial “smoothing out” of the original harsh qualities of the leaf. _ Our process of manufacture carries these improvements many steps further—as every Lucky Strike Cigarette fies: A Light Smoke of rich, ripe-bodied tobacco.
