| S SUE JONES, Editor Wednesday, October 6, 1954 Am really .starting this one under a handicap—Joan is hard at her studies and there is a spy sto onthe radio and right now a feminine voice is being pzoperly awed at the ‘‘thrilling gan battles” whieh ‘the hero has survived, and thei gentleman in question is mod- estly. declaring he didn’t catch eighty spies—or some such— Oh la, 60 let’s do a bit of espion- age inthe shops today and uncover the buys and bargains, eh? se es Could say that the HOME AP- PLIANCE CO., 605 Simonton Street is ABLAZE!

Took one look at the beautiful mew washer with the water level control on the underside of the lid “THAT CONTROLS BOTH WASH AND RINSE water con- sumption and decided, since Maytag was an old friend, to call their newest model, Mary, and pe week shall tell you all about er. ‘However, do stop in Home Ap- Pliance — take the kids ‘cause they'll get FREE FIREMAN HATS AND WHISTLES in con- with Fire Prevention Week and you'll be able to see that. 4-Alarm washer—Mary, the ew. advanced automatic MAY- TAG WASHER! rs = Out beyond was Cul Pied in be- tween, the Navy Ships and close by the shrimp boats and yours tru- ly as standing on the deck of the ‘Clty of Key West” which already had flags flying. Found out that each flag stood for a letter from A to Zed or a number from 1 to 12,,but when they just strung them up—it was for show and no mess- was involved. Had more fun wandering about this ship which had been merely a phantom brought to life, here- tofore, only by conversation, All about there were signs of the ren- ovation—new paint—new ropes— carpenters still sawing away on long supports in which the: Jounge chairs were to be secured. CALLING ALL COIN AND STAMP COLLECTORS! — NOW there is a COIN SHOP, in Gomez’ Arcade (near the Atlantic end of Duval Street) where you can browse or buy or chat of coins and stamps to your heart's con- tent. Here is an ideal shop to get the large envelopes of mixed stomps and albums to start your child on his way to an education- al hobby he'll enjoy! Messrs. Jaeschke and Lazier who have just started their uni- que Coin Shop will also buy as well as sell—RARE, FOREIGN, DOMESTIC AND UNUSUAL STAMPS AND COINS! Don’t for- get—in Gomer’ Arcade—the on- ly COIN SHOP in Our Town! BSeeezea The lounge was quite large and the newness was still all about. ‘The furniture was modern with green, and brown predominating the color scheme. A gold thread through the material and the foam rubber cuhsions added to the over- all attractiveness. It was here that yours truly overheard a lengthy and typically feminine conversation —was this called a boat or a ship, with the latter nomenclature get- ting the decision. a3 az You'll. be able to have your hair done in air conditioned com- fort at the Adorable Beauty Sa- lon, 924 Simonton Street. Did you know that here you'll also find slenderizing equipment? When you phone 2-2152 for an appoint- ment fer shampoo and set, in- quire about the. inexpensive course of slenderizing treatments. | = | BS mic Leaving the lounge, there was a| large room with booths for dining and here there too was the soda fountain. Another elbow-high count- er had newly unpacked glassware of all sizes and shapes on the top. Talked with Jose Ocampo, the head waiter who was looking for- ward to a busy time of it. Many ladies of the civic organi- zations and lodges in Our Town turned out to be official hostesses. Ethel Siegal did a grand job of re- cruiting and the blue identification banners were a fine means by which strangers and visitors could immediately find people to answer their questions. Didn’t keep a ~scoreboard on how many and what questions came up, but the information service was there. SS ss After you have made the de- cision to build, remember the THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 wonder what telephoning has to ¢e with building a home, motel, apartment, hotel, restaurant, swimming pool, etc.—but you see, BENNETT CONSTRUCTION CO., 217 Duval Street will an- swer! And at the same time, your building questions will be answered—and most correctly for BENNETT BUILDS BETTER! Merely looking at some of the many wonderful buildings BEN- NETT BUILT will convince you that here is a construction com- Pany which will mean to you— economy, sturdiness, low future maintenance—and the beautiful building you visvalized—BUILT BY BENNETT whose experience and splendid reputation in this field are well-known in Our Town. So, please don’t forget the Phone number which will mean so much to those of you who wish to build something—2-2333! Zs ee ss Met and chatted with many peo- ple. Saw Rose Kissell who had just returned with her daughter Frances Naren of New York from a trip to Bermuda. Enjoyed speaking with Elsie Peters, Dorothy Daniels, Henriette Brown, Rose Cohen and Doris Edwards. Of course, the main topic of conversation was the unaminous delight with the beauty of the ship. Then learned from Perry Smith, Toni Thompson, Dorothy Hamilton, and Teresa Braxton that they will leave Our Town to attend the Navy | Wives’ Club Convention in Jack- sonville on October 11-15, and there were many jokes, including some about hitchhiking, and their leav- ing four days prior to the time they had to be there. Know the girls will have a fine time and bring back to their local chapter much useful information. £2 223 Tradition has if ‘that dur Town's housewives this time of the year cleaning and re- decorating and getting their homes ready for the winter sea- son. - A fine collection of drapery and slipcover fabrics can be found at the Caroline Shop, 223 Ann. Sfteet. You'll indeed be pleased when you seé the lovely materials with which you can re- fresh a guest room, or convert a spare room, or spruce up any room in your home. The workshop here will do a beautiful job of making your draperies and slipcovers and spreads. Preference on the list to do this, is naturally given to those who select their material at the Caroline Shop, but if you'd rather make your own, they'll be glad to assist you in choosing your fabrics and | accessories. zee , The bag of “Idaho Oregon” on- ions caught my eye and of course —had to investigate—and so, yours truly stepped up and over from the car hold into the galley or ship’s kitchen. There were huge pots and pans and they really shone with cleanliness. Big black stove had an inch thick steel plate over the top instead of burners but believe it was an electric one. Two young boys, Jack Eynon and Man- uel Botella seemed to have the ex- plorer’s urge also, and after warn- ing them to be careful—saw them drop to a huge pale green kitchen table which could be seen below through an opening in the deck. z= Just about « aac of the most ori- ginal shops in Our Town is. the DITTY BOX, 832 Duval Street. Here are baskets of all sizes and shapes from dainty, thin reed ones to those of the more rustic, heavier straw. Brae In addition to having Wael world of basketry opened to you at the Ditty Box — the PRICE REDUCTION IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS WEEK will mean great savings for either your personal or gift needs! With Christmas approaching, the Ditty Box is expecting @ brand new shipment of BASK- ETS about the end of the month and it will be great fun to see what's new! Basevers don’t ere that the present clearance ot Aihets means BUYS AND BAR- GAINS IN STRAW! =e After enti the galley, walked | out onto the ramp. Here met the Skipper, George Reid who looked very natty in the white uniform of| the Captain, ard learned that the | usual tussle with education and the | sea was his story, and at the age of sixteen the latter won out. Also, talked with Richard Green, who was the Second Mate and am still wondering how such a young look- ing man could be a grandfather, but he says it’s so. Here too was} first and important thing to do de phone 2-233. Probably you another person who yielded to the) MISS PHYLLIS CRUZ—whose First Reading For ‘Harvey’ Friday The Key West Players’ first pro- duction this season will be ‘Har- vey.”’ The play, authored by Mary | Chase, starred Frank Faye during its long run on Broadway.

HERZ TO GRADUATE AT AF MEDICAE SCHOOL Lt.

Lt. Herz, is a graduate of Adel- bert College and the school of me- dicine of Western Reserve Univer- sity in Cleveland. He served his internship at Kings County Hospi- tal in Brooklyn, N. Y. Lt. Herz has received orders for duty with the US Air Force in Eu- rope. the age of fourteen that he “ship- ped”’ out. The conversation turned to the fact that some people think sailors do nothing but eat coconuts and live in trees and there was much laughter. Then Comdr.’ Eastman of the Coast Guard who was down from Miami to inspect the City of Key West passed by. 3 == 2s “CARTER’S for CHILDREN” are words many a mother and grandmother "have ordered.

Ideal Togs have the wee, sma’, darling gowns, ktmonas, sacques and diaper sets for the newly ar- rived infant. Sizes in the gowns, pajamas and underpanties start at the toddler age and continue through 16. They are not only sturdily made but have that little rosebud design which makes these Carter undergarments spe. cially pretty. In Our Town—Ideal Togs, 534 Duval Street is indeed a complete children’s store because here you can outfit your children with all the clothes they‘ll need—and fur- niture and the many accessories required tool ss See Yours truly became engrossed in watching a chap working on the end of the ramp with a cutting torch and all about, there was still great activity of last-minute de- tails being attended to—and my gaze wandered off to the long nar- row counter which was being dec- orated for the gigantic fish fry to be held in the evening.
