The Coral Gables Times

CORAL GABLES... Ghost Town?... or... Vibrant Business Center? How do YOU stand?

This is a time of challenge for Coral Gables businessmen. As newly developed areas of Dade County expand in population, new centers begin to form for retail trade, personal and professional services. Coral Gables has nothing to fear from this competitive development so long as it maintains its long-established standards of quality, courtesy, beauty and convenience... and sells these advantages with vigor and imagination. Only one organization is concerned exclusively with the health and vitality of Coral Gables business: the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce. You are earnestly invited to join it. Multiply your influence in the community by adding your voice to the chorus of almost five hundred like-minded business and professional people now on the Chamber rolls. On January 23, 24, 25 some seventy-two neighbors of yours will contribute their time for a three-day membership drive. We urge you to welcome them... listen to them... join them.
