It was even referred to asthe coun- try's last “frontier.” Today Florida is up-and-doing, Eco- nomically, it is far ahead of the other six southeastern states, according to a sum- marization issued by the United States Commerce Department. Almost one-half of the construction in the seven states thus tar this year occurred in Florida, whieh gained in bank deposits, bank debits, production of electricity and number of telephones. New businesses in Florida during the first quarter of this year, while below the number during the first quarter of last year, is still more than twice as many set up in any of the other southern states, Wages and salaries in Florida, $98,- 400,000, were approximately the same as during last year, while each of the other southern states showed substantial losses. | | | Key West is experiencing much of the | stability of business in almost al! parts of | Plorida. As The Citizen has remarked on several occasions, business has fallen off in Key West as compared with the war years and two postwar years, yet, propor- tionately, ix far ahead of business in any locality of the other six southern states and compares favorably with economic levels in any other part of the United States President Truman's cautious cheerful- ness in his eeOnomic message to congress on Monday may be entertained by Key Westers with justification, because while things are not as good as they used to be they are not ax stringent asx they are in many parts of the country. The Citizen makes no attempt to foretell the immediate economic future for Key West, but does maintain we have no complain now. cause to Gratitude is a fruit of great cultiva- tion; you do not find it among = gross people.—Samuel Johnson.
