1674-5 Carl FisherC. S. KROM, Manager FLORIDA S FOREMOST RESORT HOTEL e` i'amtnj-o MIAMI BEACH FLORIDA Mr. Carl G. Fisher Carl G. Fisher Properties • Miami Beach, Fla. Dear Mr. Fisher: c; Spring Lake, N. J. November 18, 192a Acknowledging your wire requesting advice in regard to cancellations, I have just telegraphed you that `�'we have had no cancellations whatever at the Flamingo and our advance bookings are way ahead of last year. Ali the bungalows are rented but one. We have six families who occupied bungalows last year who are returning again. The recent upset in the stock market will, I believe, affect our business a little bit this winter, but if the break doesn't go any further I don' t think we will be hit more than ten per cent. As far as all of the Fisher Hotels go, I think most of us have catered to a pretty con- servative class. At the Flamingo -we get a lot or Detroiters who are mixed up in the automobile business and unquestionably their business is going to be affected. In my opinion any falling off in business which we might have would come from the transients. There have been a lot of people touring around Florida and stopping off at various hotels the past couple of years and this has helped us all. There might be a little let up in this class of business but our old time regulars I think we can count on having with us again in goodly numbers. I was in New York two days last week and every- where I went people were complaining about business. Take stores Like Altmans and kPanamakers - they have felt the ef- fect already and told me they were not putting on their usual crowd of extra girls to take care of the Christmas rush. I was darned glad to get out of New York as I bumped into too many people who were pessimistic. I don't think we want to kid ourselves that Florida is going to have the biggest winter in its history as there are a lot of people, both con- servative and otherwise, who have been affected by the break in the market, but I am a long way from being pessimistic and if stocks go no lower I feel confident that we will have as good a season as last year at the Flamingo. We are leaving for Miami Beach Friday afternoon and will be glad to get back. With kind regards ,/ Manager CASH OR CHG.
