South Florida is calling you!

 

With inviting slogans and illustrations depicting a leisurely lifestyle of soaking up the sun readers were invited to leave their mundane cities and travel down to South Florida, the premier place to live and vacation. These pamphlets were used to entice potential real estate buyers, investors, and vacationers with increasing property value and fun in the sun.
