Vice President Suessmuth Vacations In Florida
Vice President E. H. Suessmuth
and Mrs. Suessmuth recently re
turned from a vacation trip to
Florida. While there they tour
ed the entire state and were very
enthusiastic about the many at
tractions and the lovely lush coun
tryside. “The opportunity to see
both the Atlantic Ocean on the
east coast and the Gulf of Mexi
co on the west side, and even
some lakes in the center of the
state makes Florida ideal for va
cationing”, commented Mr. Suess
muth.
Their trip to Key West was par
ticularly interesting and a stop
over at Marathon Key was con
sidered one of the highlights of
the trip. It offers excellent ac
commodations; the Gulf of Mexi
co at the front door and the very
wonderful food in a fine restau
rant. This is truly a fisherman’s
paradise.
Mr. and Mrs. Suessmuth stop
ped at Tampa, Florida, which they
found to be a very interesting
city. Mr. Suessmuth pointed out,
“Here is a city within a city, for
there are 40,000 Cubans in a sec
tion called Ybor, all engaged in
the cigar industry. In this sec
tion of Tampa one hardly ever
hears English. Here, also, is the
wonderful Columbia Restaurant
which specializes in Mexican Bean
soup and if you have never tried
this soup, you have missed some
thing. Yellow Rice is also a spec
ialty there and it is a^ very un
usual and savory dish.
Visits to Cypress Gardens and
Silver Springs were other high
lights of the Suessmuth’s tour of
Florida. Silver Springs is most
unusual in that 550 million gal
lons of water gush up out of the
dozen or so springs to serve as
the source of a river which flows
at a speed of 4 miles per hour.
Mr. Suessmuth said, “You can
see fish by the millions and they
will come right up to the surface
and eat your bread bait. In
fact, one very attractive young
lady took her bread bait and was
so optimistic as to think that she
could lay it on top of the glass
bottom of the boat and have the
fish pick it up from there.” In
describing their trip to Cypress
Gardens, Mr. Suessmuth said,
“There is one stretch of road of
about 60 miles from Winter
Haven to Silver Springs, where
Cypress Gardens is located, where
there are masses of orange groves
and that is really and truly a
spectacular sight. You would
actually have to see this spectacle
lo believe that it is possible for
so many orange trees to be in
existence, and this is by no means
all of them.”
Mr. Suessmuth recommends a
trip to Florida for all who have
never be^en in this really wonder
ful states‘where it is no hotter,
if as hot, as in other southern
states, including North Carolina.
He says he certainly intends to
return for further exploration at
an early date.

Vacation Message
The annual Mill vacation is
just around the corner and I’m
sure many of you are planning to
take off to the beach or moun
tains.
Business has been somewhat
slow this year to date, but we
expect a very busy fall season.
So, if you can possibly arrange to
do so, by all means take a trip
and get a change of scenery. You
will feel all the more fit to come
back to work.
I sincerely wish you all a very
happy and enjoyable holiday.
E. H. Suessmuth, Vice President
