Tempo of Business Increases

THE TEMPO OF BUSINESS INCREASES, AND THE CITIES GROW.

Miami, shown here, literally, exploded, with people pouring in and businesses opening daily. For the 1925-26 season the railroad carded twelve round trip passenger trains daily between Jacksonville and "the magic city."
