“WHO STARTED GUARANTEED
HOTEL AND APARTMENT
RATES IDEA IN FLORIDA?”
IS NEW SLOGAN
(By Auactafi'd I’rexx)
BRADENTON, Fla., June 23.
“Who killed cock robin?” has been
interpreted in Bradenton, Sara
sota and West Palm Beach into
the query, “Who started the guar
anteed hotel and apartment rates
idea in Florida?”
This is the statement issued by
the local chamber of commerce
which is claiming that the city of
Bradenton was the first to make
public announcement of such a
movement and calling to task the
claims of the cities of Sarasota
and West Palm Beach that each
of these cities were first to start
the movement and to adopt the
plan of guaranteed hotel and
apartment rates.
“But aside from the question as
to the originator of the guaranteed
hotel and apartment rates,” says
the bulletin, “the consensus among
advertising men and railroad men
of Florida seems to be that know
in-advance hotel rates will prove
a boon to the state next fall and
winter.
“Probably no other question is
so absorbing to business interests
in the state at the present time
as the question of living expenses.
Ainf lowered rents guaranteed to
stay down during the next winter
season are Tooked upon as a
jderidid advertising medium.
Bradenton, Sarasota and West
Palm Beach, have already made
public announcement that hotel
and apartment .owners have agreed
to co-operate in the idea.”
As explained, Bradenton’s plan
is unique. The chamber of com
merce, according to signed agree
ments filed by hotel and apart
ment operators, becomes a party
to the agreements as joint guaran
tor and mediator. Each o{ the
hotels and apartments endorsing
the plan has already filed a state
ment showing the number of rooms

Samuel E. Winslow, who has
been named to head the new board
of mediation under the Waison-
Parker railroad labor act, is a
former Massachusetts congress
man and a veteran in Republican
politics in the Bay State. It might
not be quite correct to say that
Mr. Winslow skated into public
life. But undeniably the skates
helped, for Mr. Winslow is the
greatest manufacturer of both
roller and ice skates in the world.
He is descended from the Wins
lows who came over in the May
flower and received his education
at Harvard. During his twelve
years in Congress he gave his at
tention especially to legislation re
lating to transportation. His place
of business is in Worcester and
near that city he maintains a
model scientific farm. Mr. Wins
low was an intimate friend of
President Harding and is close to
President oolidge.
