Care Less?

In Jacksonville and Tampa the new Department of Defense booklet on fallout shelters is in great demand but Coral Gables shows less interest. A survey of our post office, where the booklet is distributed, showed that of a total of 200, only half have beon passed out in a month's time. "At first the post office received a few calls about the soft-cover booklet of about 30 to 40 pages, but interest dribbled down to nothing," a post office worker stated. Enthusiasm for the booklet, which is endorsed by President Kennedy, was expressed by Governor Farris Bryant at a recent news conference.

Before you buy or sell

| Drop in, write or phone | It's unwise to judge a stock merely by the way it is acting on the stock market. So before you buy or sell any stock, get all the facts. A good way to do this is to consult a Thomson & McKinnon account executive.
