Sweet! I love Henry Flagler! Thanks for posting one of his masterpieces. He had many. Feel free to post more!

You never come out ahead

I think the most risky business during that period must have been insuring Hotels against fire. Wood, ocean breeze,and enclosed groups of people were apparently not a good idea.

Replace all divots.

From FloridaMemory.com, "Golf links and palm trees, Continental Hotel - Atlantic Beach, Florida". Postcard postmarked July 1 1906. The beach is definitely the place to be in July in north Florida.
