THE FLORIDA NATIONAL BANK AT KEY WEST Member of the’ Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation MEMBER OF THE FLORIDA NATIONAL GROUP OF BANKS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! Anyone can talk “quality” ... but you can’t build a reputation like ours on a foundation of fine words! We are known and respected for the jewelry that we sell rather than for anything which we might say about it. The enduring satisfaction that a truly fine piece of jewelry brings means more than @ thousand words, We believe that even at moderate prices, you are entitled to this satisfaction. That’s why, whether you pay $7.50 or $750 for a piece of jewelry here, you're assured that it will meet our high standard of beauty and value .~. and give you many years of pride and pleasure.” We expect to move into our new quarters at 514 Duval Street, adjoining the Palace Theater on or about March 12, 1946, material shortages permitting.
