Our Inquiring Reporter

What do you think might make shopping more pleasant in Coral Gables? Mrs. George W. Newhard, 529 Navarre: "I've found our shopping center very satisfactory, particularly the groceries and markets." Mrs. H. O. Nielson, 1517 Palancia: "There is a little wider selection in Miami, and sometimes you can buy a little cheaper; but for the most part Coral Gables shopping is very satisfactory." Mrs. T. E. Norman, 240 San Sebastian: "The only thing that worries me about shopping in Coral Gables is the parking problem. I usually shop on the busy days, and it's almost impossible to find parking space." Miss Ethel O'Brien, 214 Sidonia: "I like to shop in Coral Gables now; but I wish there were more stores and a wider selection to choose from. Then I wouldn't need to make any trips to Miami at all." Mrs. E. H. Padgett, 1110 Salzedo: "The prices here are just about the same here as in Miami, but it's much more convenient to shop here. When they change the parking back to 45 degrees I'll be better satisfied." Roy Page, 6312 Riviera Drive: "I like to do grocery buying in Coral Gables, but I'd like to buy clothes more if the men's shops could carry larger stocks. I'd be glad not to have to go to Miami to shop." Miss Rose Born, 901 East Ponce de Leon: "It would make grocery shopping easier if grocers would leave their stock arranged the same way, so that you could find things more easily. It might be a good idea to put up an index in the front of the store, showing what counters hold different foods." Mrs. Lloyd W. Park, 432 Navarre: "I wish there were a big yard-goods place here; but outside of that, Coral Gables suits me as a shopping place. It's very convenient to reach and has almost everything we need." Mrs. Milton O. Peacock, 2518 Ponce de Leon: "I haven't been to Miami to shop for a year, so you can see that I like shopping here. It would be nice to have a larger selection of yard-goods, though." Mrs. Graham Place, 512 Almeria: "I find shopping in Coral Gables very satisfactory as far as general shopping goes; but I do have to go into Miami for merchandise that's out of the usual run. I suppose our merchants can't stock everything that the larger stores carry." Mrs. N. Doug Raff, 835 Anastasia: "We would be better off if we had a department store here. Other than that, you can do almost any kind of shopping in the Gables. One thing that could be improved, though, is the method of some markets, where you'll find one price for cash-and-carry, and a much higher price if you need delivery." Mrs. Fred H. Ralsten, 803 Alhambra Circle: "The only thing that worries me in shopping here is the lack of parking space; and if the palm trees are planted, making the street narrower, there'll be less room than ever. Outside of that, I find Gables merchants courteous and efficient." Mrs. Russell A. Rasco, 2203 Alhambra Circle: "I wish there were a larger selection of yard goods here, but outside of that I like the Gables shopping district very much."

HOMEMAKING . . . A FINE ART IN CORAL GABLES

WHEN Coral Gables was envisioned its founders saw a city of homes—where every other influence was secondary to development of the perfect homesite. And Coral Gables residents have upheld that tradition. They have created homes that are masterpieces of beauty, comfort, livability. Today nearly four out of every five Coral Gables homes use electricity for cooking, because this modern service meets the high standard of Coral Gables homemakers. Electric cookery is flameless—cool and clean, like electric light. It is fast and automatic, time-releasing. And — particularly important where there are children—electric cookery is safe. In Coral Gables 79% of the families use electric cookery, as compared to an average of 25% throughout the system of Florida Power & Light Company. Again Coral Gables is First City in use of electric service, with the highest percentage index of homes using electric cookery, water heating and refrigeration. ELECTRICITY IS CHEAP!
