Miami by the Sea

August 30, 2008 by Research

Here’s an interesting advertisment from 1923…

Miami, the city of adventure and tropical wonderland, where business cares and worries vanish under the spell of glorious sunshine, invites the world to enjoy the magic of fun in myriad forms, in 4 the most popular winter resort in America.

This is the world’s most fascinating playground, where every summertime sport and out-of-door recreation infuses the spirit of Youth and turns back the clock of Time.

Recreate or rest in a climate unexcelled, where tonic sea breezes and the thousand enchantments of the tropics create perpetual delight.

The homeseeker here finds the ideal for all the word home means. Opportunity merges into success in this land of business romance. Captains of industry discover here new worlds to conquer. The tiller of the soil is here abundantly rewarded for his labor.

Come to Miami—easily reached and easily enjoyed. Whether your stay be days, weeks, months or years, happiness and contentment await you in this land of smiling skies.

I guess Miami traffic was a little lighter back then…
