This would be a great help. For as a seller of shrimp, we must have national publicity te accelerate acceptance of the Key West ‘pink’ shrimp by the public.

AGA = More About Shrimp With more and more shrimp boats coming to the city daily, Key West is practically assured of a new industry for a period o: from five to ten years, if present estimates are correct. What this can mean to the city in the line of new revenue can hardly be appreciated, but an stimated payroll of $35,000 per...week, is not to be sneezed at, especially in a city the size of Key West. Additional Families It will mean ‘that _ eventually additional families ted here, all of whom will have like Key West that must of ne- cessity depend on Naval activi- ties in the area, any industry is a boon to the locality. Plan Trip To Beds I do not know if the. arrange- ments can be made or not, but I am going to try in the very near future to make a trip to the shrimping grounds and see the operation first hand. If I do I shall be gone for about three days, but will guarantee you all information possible on my re- turn. I’m willing to go now if I ean only find some captain who will tolerate me for the trip, Pl be off. SCALES: Old man weather is still acting up.
