Edwin F. Trevor, president of | the Chamber, has stated that! the Chamber of Commerce will! “go to bat” for the city and asks} that citizens and business men! stand behind its efforts. Work on the two giant sign-; boards to be erected on Highway No. 1 north of Miami is progre: ing rapidly. The Neil Saunder Sign Company has received all! materials nec y and men are working on the bulletins. The boards, identical to the! one that was erected carlier this year which is located near Fort Lauderdale, will convey a strik- ing message to motorists travel- ing south along the Federal highway. A large neon sign with 12-inch letters inviting Miami traffic to visit Key West via the Overseas Highway, will be erected on Biscayne boulevard, in that city, and an extra large supply of Key West literature is to be or- dered for distribution in the Mi- ami area. Trevor stated that one of the primary functions of the Cham- ber of Commerce more tourists here. Key West} has the natural advantages which | many of them seek when they| visit Florida. “Our climate is unmatched anywhere and our fishing is un- surpassed,” Trevor said. “It is.up to Key West to exploit these ad- vantages, bring tourists in to en- benefits we derive Visitors To City OUT* is to bring Tv | Program To Bring | High Prices At | CDPB LAL IS: Schools Closed All Day Tuesday, Albury Reveals Every Key West school will be closed all day to- morrow, Armistice Day, Wil- lard M.
