i i | IT WON’T BE LONG two days in succession. First, La Casa Marina will be opened the coming winter; secondly, the State Road De- partment has called for bids for the reworking and re- surfacing of the Roosevelt boulevard and Bertha street, During the dark days im- mediately following the erash of the realty boom in Florida, a Key Wester, who had (irst opposed the build- ing of a road to the main- land and afterward worked hard for . its attainment, made this significant re- mark: “Well, there’s one thing for which we, should be thankful: Key West got the boulevard out of the boom. The price of our bonds may bo down and down and the price of our real estate may fall to lower and lower lev- els, but we've bot the boule- vard and nobody can take it away from us.” Many Key Westers real- ized, when the boulevard was completed, what an at- tractive driveway it was, but forum and Lee * Ps ea a ge Citizen Good news for Key West Key West In _ Days Gone By AS TAKEN FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF SEPT. 30, 1936 GIANTS, 6; YANKEES, 1, is the way the score reads this af- ternoon in the first of the World Series games.

AUTOS GO ABROAD Before World War II, American-made automobiles and trucks appeared in practically every market of the world. Since the end of hostilities, American auto, mobile manufacturers have shipped about six per cent of their output into foreign countries, seeking to retain the markets previously won. In the first seven months of this year, the motor ve- hicle industry produced 849,804 passenger cars and shipped 51,452 of them to foreign countries. Of the 842,744 trucks and other commercial vehicles ‘pro- duced, foreign markets re- ceived 83,059. ; The automobile industry in this country is one that has not required high tariff protection for its growth. In fact, many foreign countries have established a system of import controls in order to prevent American cars from predominating their markets. Apparently, the automobile industry in this country is able to make cars cheaper than the foreign manufacturers and stand an excellent chance of develop- ing a tremendous export business, if world trade con- ditions are arranged ina manner to encourage in- creased world trade. If this proves to be the case, the automobile indus- try will give work to many thousands of. Americans. In return, if they are wise, the American people will pur- chase some of the goods and services of other nations. In no other way can world trade be promoted. It is im- possible to sell all the time without buying because, fundamentally, world trade is a matter of swapping and cannot prosper when the traffic moves in only one di- rection. ‘|New York, born at Clavernack, Thomas W.
