This is one o fthe best investments I have heard of. ° ° LETTERS TO THE EDITOR There is one column in The Citizen which I particularly like and that is>the Letters to the Editor column. It is perhaps the | torial ''coluimns record. But the! « most read column in the paper. Those of you who like to see ideas coagulate in strong black print are invited to send in con- tributions on your thoughts for the city’s welfare or for any sub-! ject of interest which comes into’ your mitid:’ Lately ‘we have had many “intétésting: contributions. Similarly, this ¢olumn;'‘or Pat-' ricia’s society: coluiin or the edi- of’ The Citizen ere open at all titnes to a well expressed “insertion. ‘It is not | necessary to have your name ap- pear in print. There are con- siderations which most of the time make it important that your name not appear because this is} a small town and you may find considerable opposition raise if you are in business, for instance, | and sign your name. There are only two things which will hold back publication, one is if the missile is scurrilous or if you go over the policy line of the paper This is a line laid down which if gone over will work to the grave financial detriment of the paper.

Here everything is before you at all times. You need never worry about your ads not putting the story over. It is right down there in black and white. An- other strong point is the circula- tion of 2,500. Take the five per- sons to a family this brings the total number to around 13,000 persons in a city of about that many Key Westers and new resi- dents. The best test of whether The Citizen has the strongest selling. power in the town is the question, ‘Did you,see what The} | Citizen had to, say, about this or} "V,@hen the answei’ is yes. It only takes one Tittle item éither for or against) something a person is doing and that person is sure to come into the office to thank or complain. e e FOR REFERENCE DAY OR NIGHT | Anathen, strongest point a that| the xecord for alj-history is, down} in:, bladk .and, white , and: néver | fades: It may be. referred to ‘at! any time of the day ‘or night. Thus, what's on at the Strand or| Palace, how much for a plane | ride over the city, in Faraldo’s cub plane; what’s that price on lamp chops at Broadway Market? It is always there for all histo to see. These are the proven points as taken from newspaper) progress of the years and tested in metropolitan cities and small ' towns and cities. | JACK HEMINGWAY NOW IN MIAMI TO VISIT IN KEY WEST (Special - ‘The Uitizen) _ Miami, Jan. 28.—Jack Heming- ‘way, Son of author‘Ernest Hem-) ingway Ubived''in’ Miami: Wed-! nesday’ ‘Wani° 23)''on ‘the Carib- ‘bean “Chipper of ‘Pan’ American World’ Airways after spending a) vacatibm Withi Kis famous father in Cuba.
