Recently The Gateway published a
lengthy article describing the auto
trip of H. B. Selby, former resident
of Seward, in which he described his
impressions of Florida. The Gate
way is received by several people in
Florida and one of them took excep
tion to the article replying as follows:
"I read an article in your newspa
per about Florida being ruined by the
boom, so I will endeavor to put up
an argument against the party that
knows so little of Florida.
“I have been living in Florida for
about two and one-half years and I
have studied all the state’s problems
from every angle, so therefore only
speak facts, and after having been
in nearly every state in the Union
and travelled over Europe, it gives me
a fairly good idea of the possibilities
in Florida.
“First, how good a summer resort
is Seward, Alaska and how much does
it excel as a summer resort than
Florida as a winter resort. We have
summer all winter long and what I
cannot understand, is why so many
people that claim to have done so well
financially in Alaska, come down here
for, if they didn’t expect to pick money
off the trees or swindle somebody out
of their possessions. My opinion is
that they could not make a living in
the North and thought easy money
could be had here.
“On the other hand it is not as
easy as one thinks, for one has to
work as hard as he would in the north
and the only difference being that
when a person is through working
here he receives pay and reward for
it, and I speak from experience.
“I landed in Florida flat broke. I
had to even give my watch for three
gallons of gas and one quart of oil in
order to complete my trip to Florida,
and with a little head work, honest}
and a great deal of hard work with
my tools I am able to at this time,
show $17,000.00 worth of real estate
and personal property, not investing
a cent into real estate while the boom
was on.
“I also wish to say that of all the
Northerners that I had dealings with
left owing us repair bills, groceries,
hotel rent, and etc. We are glad that
they are gone and that ever} thing
has returned to normalcy again. Our
books show 100 per cent gain in July,
this year to that of last year vhen
the boom was on. We have also de
creased outstanding credit to where
almost all of our business is cash.
“Although the so-called boom is off
the price of property has not declined
and all those who can afford it will
be headinf back to the dear old state
of Florida just as soon as the snow
lights on them, take it from me.
