t ce | SOCIETY — PERSONALS SWE JONES, Editor " ‘Thursday; June 24, 1954 THE Trucks and cars are passing up and down Flagler—right in front of our new little home — and so is time—and, since yours truly’s been bumming rides from friends —have managed to visit the shops in Our Town—and so today, would like to tell you all about—many places and many things — and I wouldn’t be at. all surprised but what you'll find many, many things to buy— se meze Up on Duval Street at 711— there is a swell “shirt” shop Esther and Bill’s —of course, there are men and youth’s and children’s and women’s (shorts and pedal pushres) wearing ap- parel sold here too — and also, must mention the pawn shop in one corner — which is Bill’s “pet project’ — but right as of mow — would like to tell you of the men’s sports shirts which are undoubtedly stunning, and amazingly inexpensive for the quality offered! Esther and | were just discuss- ing the usual subjects, when she mentioned “Shapely” Black Rain shirt — Now, yours truly did a double take — and | wondered what in the name of—Black Rain * ghe meant. Then | saw this men’s sport shirt with the added sur- face interest of black and white seeded chromspun — woven into the texture. It has a permanent pucker and dries instantly! The other beautiful sports shirts didn’t like my paying attention to just one—so, ‘they started in- treducing themselves. One said that he had a “Mr. B.” collar —another said that he had a “Mr. C.” collar and finally, the third allowed as how he had a collar you could roll any one of three ways! (flat, round er curved). By this time, the “Bola” ties which are all the rage for both men and women started clamor- ing and I left Esther and Bill's . thinking what really smart, and handsome and inexpensive chandisé ffiey had. * Saaesn ‘ Don't"iiss the beautiful doll baby with blonde hair, white bon- net and wearing a blue dress sit- * ting im*MarEd’s Dress Shop win- dow. Now, gentlemen—just a min- ute—it is not a‘ real live doll, but is one Jeanne Taylor made to aid the donation drive of the Art and Historical Society. And may I add, that Jeanne did a wonderful job and some litlte gal will be thrill- ed to own'it! Further information may be secured at Mar-Ed’s or, the Art and Historical Society. Sa 2 22 How many times have you given a gift—cheerfully and glad- ly, but you sure would like to have one just like it for yourself and then when your friends have been so pleased and tickled with your selection for them, you've been real happy. . The above will always happen when you go to the Gift House, which is diagonally across from the Post Office. Recently reno- vated, this is one of the largest _ and most beautiful Gift Houses in Our Town. Gifts of kinds, glasses, games, ceramics, pof- tery, — and you know, yours truly — the earring trees al- ‘ways draw my attention, So, for that clever, but ‘inexpensive bridge prize — and for “just the item” te convey your thought- fulness—GO to the GIFT HOUSE. ‘Tis a beautiful place—with love- ly, lovely and unique and differ- ent and wonderful gift items. Saute ‘Then there’s the friend who said all this talk of smoking’s harmful effects made him so nervous that he just had to have a cigarette! Bemes Well, | know that “‘Bill’s Supermarket’ out at the Poin- ciana Center have all the gro- ceries to feed the family, but ‘wasn't until the other day, that 1 discovered that they save old lettuce leaves and wilted carrots (they sell only fresh produce) and consequenity all the bunnies in Poinciana have a feast! Choice, tender, and never a “bum steer” are the words for the meats sold at Bill‘s! Don’t and “Momma” Jerry Jove them —and while you buy things for dinner—your young fry will be happy what with lots of atten- tion and lollipops and pepper- mint sticks! Again—Bill’s Super- market—Poinciana! aeece wMy Red Shawl tells me that “Ty” Tyler just returned to Our Town on leave and this is a joy- @us occasion, "cause pretty soon KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 there will be five places around the dining room table. There will be “Ty” and his wife, Letty - (Sullivan) and the two girls—and—at first, just a bottle of formula for the girl?— boy?—but soon.

During this short period when the main shop is closed — visit their Budget Shop—also Albert Sawyer will be there to take care of bill payments and here you may pick-up the merchandise you might have been buying on the “lay-away” plan. ZS eee DIAMONDS TO: The telephone gals who are stationed on “infor- mation.” Because of my new quarters and—am still in that “half in,one place”—(if you’re looking for an apartment, try Old Island Realty, just left one va- cant)—and “half in another” stage—I don’t have a phone book. So, I’ve really been bothering “113” and, gee, they’ve been swell! Also, must pass this on—final- ly, from sheer embarrassment ex- plained about the telephone book situation and the girl said, “Gee, I'd like to have’ a brand new one, too!” Again, one more instance of good humor and courtesy—in Our Town—and thanks, girls! . Sears Eating is real necessary and sometimes it can become a chore and @ bore—at least from Mrs. Housewife’s viewpoint. All of which is to say —the POINT is: A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street provides wonderful seafood platters—com- plete with French fries, crisp slaw and hush puppies—meest in+ expensive. —and the VIEW is: unusually most stupendous—sheer beauti- ful waterfront, with ships and shrimp boats and sky and water and sunsets! Zameen ‘My Red Shawl had told me that St. Paul’s Episcopal Church was about to undergo a restoration, and the other day as I walked by, could see that it was in progress. By sheerest coincidence, hap- pened to run into Clarence Alls- house and Stanley Pierce, who were buying.a vacuum cleaner for the church—at one of my shops—Home Appliance Co. Jim Staples, the other-member of the building committee, wasn’t there. but shall tell you whi learned of the process—and more details, in just a second, on the current restoration of one of Our Town's most beautfiul churches, 3a 22 It was with deep pleasure the other day that | saw an unusual- ly excellent picture of one of my good friends. Just knew who had taken it and | was right — Po- ray Studio—404 Southard Street! And you too will never fail to be pleased with your pictures from Poray Lee Fs i Frankly, I think that all places of worship are beautiful, but St. Paul’s is unusually so. And, be- lieve me, I have attended church services in gyms, movie houses, and new, raw barren buildings, and even in St. Alban’s Cathe- dral in Washington (sometimes known as National), where there is still scaffolding and evidence of construction. Forgot the latest estimate on how long it will take to finish the Cathedral—but back to my conversation with Messrs. Pierce and Allshouse. oe 8 Se Don’t know why I’m always fated to miss Mr. Baldwin of Baldwin's Garden Store, 1101 Simonton—except that his buy- ing trips mean more and beauti- ful plants for you all — plus a complete line of the “gardening accessories’—tools, mowers, fer- tilizers, pots, etc. However, today | want to tell you of another product they carry —"Tak-Tik” which kills fleas, lice and ticks on contact and these pesky things which bother your dogs are—but real dead— within four hours! So—don’t let these insects lead your dog's life—buy “Tak-Tik'— at Baldwin's! Cheaper here too —$1.79 for 16 oz.
