Symbols of a City ...

A city graduates from the ranks of a small town when it boasts certain advantages. Certainly a city never completely attains truly metropolitan distinction until it has industrial enterprises that bring money and employment to the community ... and until it has its own daily newspaper. Miami Air-O-Blind Company helps Coral Gables meet the first require-ment. It is the city's fastest growing industrial enterprise. It brings business from all over Southern Florida to this thriving community. It is providing employment to a steadily increasing number of Gableites. And now the Riviera-Times, with the advent of its daily paper, clinches Coral Gables' right in every respect to be accepted as a full fledged city! We heartily congratulate the Riviera-Times on its sensational growth. It is deserved, for it has well served Coral Gables since the founding of this community in 1926. We know the Riviera-Times will continue to lead the way to further progress ... will continue to set the pace in making Coral Gables a bigger and better city.
