Reuben who undoubtedly belonged where turmoil and conflict were thickest—a doer of deeds, who chafed at a moment’s ee ee inactivity. A fighter.

PEOPLE'S FORUM Secocccccccsceccceseceses APPROVES OF SIGNS Editor, The Citizen: Ihave noticed a number of signs on. various properties mark- ed “sold” by one of our local Realtors. These signs are very encouraging to visitors who are inclined to invest their money in Key West, as it indicates business activity. In several instances I note these signs are on vacaant lots or dilapidated buildings. When these properties are cleaned up and im- proved by their new owners it will increase the value of all oth- er property in Key West and soon the city of Key West will take its rightful place as a clean, well- kept and beautiful little city— never again to be on the charity of the government.
