Mr. Andrews first came to Florida 36 years ago on his wedding trip, visiting such points as Jacksonville and taking the Oklawaha River boat trip. In 1920 he made his first visit to Winter Haven and the Ridge section, coming down here from Green Cove Springs where he was vacationing.

He has traveled in Europe, Alaska, South America, the West Indies and olheiLections of he believes the Ridge country is the best he has ever found. He has a message for residents and business men of the Ridge country and this is it: "Tell the world about our wonderful year-round climate, bring new visitors down here each year and let" them sell themselves on the wonderful advantages." This section does not need high-powered salesmanship, he believes just the pull necessary to divert travel to this section. That will be enough to sell anyone. Back in 1924, just before the boom started, he became deeply interest ed in Winter Haven and in 1925 he bought his first home here. In 1932 took over Haven Hotel, While he had fully intended to slay in retirement, he found con-jditions so that he believed he could put the hotel, the town's biggest, on a paying basis.

"And I haven't done such a bad jotr," he said. as a hotel man he meets many people who frankly tell what they think of the Ridge country. As for the European war. he sees the conflict, as it now stands, as a dirert to Florida. "I believe that many persons, who usually travel abroad in the Winter, will come to Florida this year.

This type of person has the travel urge land will go wherpver he is Invited land stav where he receives the best treatment, so that puts a challenge right up to Florida."
