Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

. . . in Florida, one of America's fastest growing markets
No market in all America offers a greater sales potential to advertisers than the State of Florida. Every statistic establishes Florida as a year-round sales target of steadily expanding proportions. Its population has increased more than 33% in the past ten years, and its buying power, estimated at close to three billion dollars, jumped 191 million dollars in '49 over '48. Florida topped the entire nation in farm income in '49 with a gain of 19% . . . and in the same year ranked seventh in the incorporation of new businesses. This amazing industrial and agricultural growth has, of course, produced a permanent as well as an unusually prosperous population. These are the people that Blair's five Florida stations reach and sell . . . at surprisingly low cost.
