THE KEY WEST CITIZEN
Plymouth Is Getting Off To
Record Year With New Model
Plymouth Motor Corporation is
planning on the greatest sales vol
ume in its history during 1955,
and is getting off to a fast start
by scheduling all-time high pro
duction, according to Dan L. Na
varro, president of Navarro, Inc.
local Dodge - Plymouth - Chrysler -
De Soto dealer of Key West.
Navarro, H. Earl Duncan, and
John F. Blackwell Jr. recently re
turned from a preview of the 1955
line of Plymouth cars at Daytona
Beach.
With a line of cars featuring all
new styling, new high horse-power
engines, and many luxury features
formerly found only in the most
expensive cars, Plymouth has re
tooled Ha factory and by mid-Nov
ember will be producing more than
3,000 cars per day. They are long
er, lower, and wider than previous
models, and the most powerful
cars Plymouth has ever built.
By the end of December, Ply
mouth expects to have built more
than 100,000 of the new models.
That is some 00,000 more than
were built during November and
December in the peak year of
1953.
Plymouth officials pointed out
that a week before the first of the
new cars came down the assembly
line, enthusiastic dealers had or
dered more than 150,000 without
having seen a single model. The
backlog of orders is expected to be
more than doubled by the time all
dealers have seen the cars.
Plymouths, traditionally the
world's third largest producer of
passenger cars, expects to double
its 1954 sales during 1955 and to
sell nearly 20 per cent more cars
than the record 635,000 units
which were sold during 1953.
Officials pointed out that Ply
mouth has had the new car under
development for three years, and
at the same time has been “tooling
up” its manpower in pointing for

UNEXPECTED GUEST
HENDERSON, Ky. Ok - When
pranksters kept him awake by
throwing walnuts against his house,
Ed Dunbar decided to leave the
front door open.
Now, he said to himself, “I can
get a running start on them the
next time it happens.”
But Dunbar fell asleep. He awoke
yesterday morning, walked into
the living room and found his cow
staring him in the face.

the past year the Plymouth field
organization has increased its num

Julian Heads Retail List In
Community Chest Collections
Earl Julian of Julian Appliances heads the Retail
Division list with the largest amount collected thus far by
that Division’s individual solicitors for the current Com-
munity Chest drive.
The Retail Division numbering
approximately 170 stores—has been
divided into 14 lists of about (me
dozen stores each, grouped ac
cording to location. The fourteen
solicitors covering these territories
are: Bill Brownley, representing
Overseas Appliances; Robert Cu
bino, assistant manager of Butler’s
Shoes; Dolice Curry and Ida Gell
rich, owners of the Not New Shop;
Mrs. Ruth Galey; Virginia Goulet
of Key West Garden and Lawn
Supplies; Virginia Rees of Gift
House; Earl Julian, Julian Ap
pliances; Concha and Dora Mar
tinez of Martinez Refrigeration;
H. E. McDonald of Television
Sales and Service; Jose Menendez,
manager of Thom Me An’s; Charles
Pierce of Pierce Brothers; Nelbeth
Reese, manager Sears, Roebuck-
Charles Smith, of Dion and Smith;
and the Key West Angels, local
motorcycle club.
Twelve of the 14 solicitors listed
are representatives from the local
business houses themselves—own
ers or principals from each store
named. In addition to their store s
and their personal donations, th|y
are also giving valuable time from
their businesses to help in this
work because they believe in it.
Outlying Areas
Mrs. Ruth Galey volunteered to
help the merchants by soliciting
for them from the more scattered
stores in order that these business
people would not lose any more
time from their work than abso
lutely necessary. And the Key West
Angels, local motorcycle club, took
over the solicitation of even more
scattered territory, extending all
the way to Stock Island.
Asking for money is not easy—
and a solicitor’s job is not a pleas
ant one. But all of these solicitors
believe in the Community Chest.
They all know that this one annual
Community Chest drive takes the
place of 12 additional individual
drives that otherwise would have
to be made each year. And they
know that a successful Community
Chest means more successful
charitable and welfare organiza
tions—and, therefore, a better
community.
Key Westers Know
Who knows better than Key
Westers the terrible havoc that
can be wrought by a hurricane
both ashore and at sea —and the
suffering and privation that has
been and will continue to be eased
by the Key West Chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Who knows better than Key
Westers what it’s like to tighten
your belt and look “grits and
grunts” in the fact again and
again—and be lucky to have them!
And how many are there even to
day who are down on their luck—
with no grits and grunts who ap
peal to the Salvation Army's ever
ready helping hand.
Who knows better than Key
Westers what it’s like not to have
a local Blood Bank to draw from
and have, instead, to fly 150 time
consuming miles (and back) to
bring the life-giving fluid to the
Island.
Club N*ds
Who knows better than Key
Westers the crying need for ser
vicemen’s clubs like the YMCA
USO, the NCCS, and the Com
munity Servicemen’s Center.
Then there are the Girl Scouts
Boy Scouts, Juvenile Council,
Youth Center, the Children's Book
mobile and the Children's Home
Society—all child welfare agencies
helping to build tomorrow’s Key-
West citizens; and the Heart As
sociation helping today's.
As Mr. Julian put it, “While you
might have a personal quarrel with
one or two of these agencies. Still
you must admit that there is no
substitute for them or the work
they do. And a concerted effort in
one all out drive to furnish an
operating budget for these thirteen
agencies .is far better than 13
drives scattered throughout the
year.”
“I sincerely hope,” Mr. Julian
said, “that everyone will give at
least ‘a day’s pay the United wav’
—for these welfare pgencies must
have reasonable budgets If they
are to exist—and they must exist,
for the welfare o( our own com
munity.”
