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
