EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK Here at the southernmost tip of Florida is a vast, natural, sub-tropic wonderland--rich with rare bird, fish and animal life. Recently established as the third largest national park in the U.S.A., new roads and other facilities are now being built which will greatly expand the area now available to Florida visitors. Wildlife tours are conducted by the Audubon Society during the winter season. The ONLY SUB-TROPICAL NATIONAL PARK in the UNITED STATES

EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK Ever see a flight of roseate spoonbills winging over Florida Bay from their feeding grounds on the Florida Keys? It's like watching a ribbon of animated rose pink petals suspended in a dream world of blue sky and aqua-tinted sea. Then the great birds break their long garlands to form swirling bouquets as they hover over the emerald isle which is their nesting place. This is only one of many marvels found by nature lovers in the new Everglades National Park. ANOTHER NICE F.P. AND L. GESTURE Jim [?] Your attention is called to Florida's many natural wonders, as well as unparalleled industrial and commercial opportunities, as a part of our "Helping Build Florida" program--Florida Power and Light Company, Miami.
