Now is the time to start an ad- vertising campaign to put Key West on the map. Yours, THE ORACLE Overseas Road, Toll Bridge Commissioners Key West, Florida : A GOOD BEGINNING The news carried on page one of The Citizen Saturday | thet the Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District Commis- sion has decided to launch an extensive advertising campaign this winter to put Key West and the upper keys on the map is news of the most welcome sort. Time after time we have pointed out in The Citizen that if Key West is to attract tourists in any considerable numbers it will have to ad- Wertise its unexcelled clim- ate and beautiful. situation to the outside world. Not only should Key West be advertised within the} State of Florida, but it should have wide publicity in “the “great metropolitan newspapers of the north—in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia — and even in the Canadian, cities of Toronto and Mon-! tveal..Up there the poor folk shiver ‘amid snowdrifts all winter dong. and dream of tropical, palm - studded Shangrilas such as Key West. It is time that we told them that their dreams can © vealized right here on this island. But any advertising cam- n such as we have in mind fot’ Key West should not be conducted in a hit-or- ~otaiss. manner, It should be anized and directed by a specialist who knows his business. All Key West or- ganizations interested in ad- vertising the city should combine their resources. If each undertakes the task on his own the result will be conflict and duplication in a hundred places. The main idea in any successful adver- tising campaign is to place copy where it will do the most good. Choosing such mediums requires exper- ience and skill. In the Union Station at Jacksonyille we noticed re- cently a large cut-out map of Florida. The name of Key West was not even on it. Neither was the name of Key West to be seen any- where else in the Station, although the names of sev- eval smaller and less attrac. tive Florida towns are prom- inently displayed there. Silver Springs, for ex- ample, has a stack of free and attractive foldeys in the Jacksonville Station, each one picturing in no uncertain terms the beauties of Silver | apes Thousands of northern tourists ap through Jack- sonville Union Station eack _year.

But if not in Big Pine, probably in Sugar Loaf: r Winfield Scott Smith, who a is tra one the cor- poration agreed with the trustees of the In Rev- enue Fund to sink ae i Why go deeper? at is he natural q i but Pia estion, Mr. Smith would not answer it specifically, os than to say, “Wouldn't you presame there’s something prospec- tive that prompted the drill- ers to go deeper than the agreed 10,000 feet?” That was all, except to say definitely that the Gulf Oil Corporation will drill a well in Sugar Loaf, reg i of whether or not is brought in at Big Pine. After all, though, wouldn't it be far better for the future of the Florida Keys not to find oil in them? The promise of their de- elopmént.as the only frost- ree part of the United States is more important in the long run than would be the bringing in of a gusher. A gusher would cause a boom in key acreage that oil appear to be barely a ripple in high-powered salesman- ship. And the gusher boom would entail financial ruin for more persons than did the 1925 boom. The Florida Keys will grow. whether or not oil is found in the depths of any) of them. Their growth, for a time, will be slower with. out the finding of oil, but it will be more substantial. Villages, small cities, scores of high-class fishing lodges, hotels, casinos, pavilions, will spying up and grow on the keys even though the drilling for oil proves to be a failure. Keep informed on current issues by reading both sides of all questions. The Citizen tries to assist by giving you the facts. Every owner of property should maintain it in a way to add to the attractiveness of the area in which it is located. Besides, the pro- cess pays dividends. A THIRD PARTY? In a recent national week- ly, an article was published relating to Communism, stating that the Communist party in this country had dropped twenty thousand members in the last ten years. The author stated that the party needed to in- crease membership at least fifty per cent if the organ- ization was to remain intact. Against such gloomy fore- casts, the party is beginning an all-out drive to gain new emberships. It will prob-|:ish were released today in shel-|Lady’s and man’s bicycles. ably gain some member- ships in New York, Michi- gan, and. California, where greatest strength of the party lies, but the Commu- nists party will eventually go the way of all third parties in this country. — Many groups haye tried to increase the traditional two parties in the United States, but even Theodore Roosevelt failed in the at- tempt. It is doubtful if the Communists will succeed in} their effort to build up a strong third party. Too many others have failed be- fore them.
