"I had not been in Florence an hour before 1 was impressed with the spirit of progress that is expressed on every hand, and if you keep up th» pace that you appear to be going now- I am certain that Florence will soon be leagues tihead of anv other city or her class in the state or the south, lor that matter. Your paving program is an excellent one, and although! the streets are considerably mussed up right now I carf see in my mind’s ey«- Florence as she will look a few months hence when all of the paving worn litis been completed and the trees and shrubbery planted and in order along the boulevards. It looks good to me “Nothing enchances a c:ty as aplen didly as paved streets and certainly nothing attracts the eye of the strang er more than for the motorist to roll into a towfi and find before him mile lifter mile of smooth roadway over which he can smoothly ride and take in the sights or the town. "I understand that yon wttl shortly begin the Installation of one of the most modern street lighting systems in the world. That’s fine, indeed, and you are to be congratulated. And I iion't think I Have seen quite so mnny new buL'dmgs, both business ana residential, going up tn any other city I have visited this winter, as are now ] in course of construction in Floreuc*. That certainly doesn’t look like hai l fmes to mo. "Hv the way,” Mr. Davis continued suddenly going off at another angle in his conversation. ‘This ‘hard times' buriiboo is all bosh anyway. Just be- between yon and me he isn’t here any more. Of coarse. I still meet a few iteople who believe that the country is fast going to the general bow-wows, but there is noth’ng to it. I am glad to say that most cities cud towns in .the epuptry have passed over that .B^riod and are tow enjoying n strong reaction, and conditions over the coun try generally are rapidly nearing r«*aMy Iroom conditions again. ‘Upt returning to your city of Flor ence, I am really deeply impressed wun the spirit of activity that I see on every hand. You have o splendid location here for a city twice or three times the present size of Florence and the injpress on I have received •since arriving here is that you will practically double your population uunns the next ten or fifteen yars. “But I should not praise you toi much.’’ Mr. Davis smiled, "hut I an sincere in what 1 have said. So 1 am going to'tell you a few things I think you need. Florence should have a public rest room. All cities must cater Ui« outsiae country, tor u great deal of business comes from that sec tion. You rwVy do not know how much until you nave made the effort to get it. And it is really surprising how li-.tle effort directed in the right wu> It takes to get It. too. I understand you have no public, rest room. People coming into town from a few miles out to trade here have no p>'aee when* they mfiy retire txcept by calling on their business acquaintances, and as a rule they are usually loath to do this. A public retiring room, one foi men and one for women, will go a lopg way towards gaining the grati tude of. the people just outside your eity- 'Another thing you need is a public autoiqobile camp. It will not be long until Florence will begirt to have man.' tourists • pass through. If there is a suitable 'camp nearby marty rtf then will stop over for the night and possi bly spend several days here. Such a camp will bring in many dollars to the business establishments during the course of the year wh cli you will irtherwlse lose.” Mr. Davis left the city today in his automobile and continued big trip northward.
