Come to Hollywood
Florida's all year Seaside City
for your Summer Vacation
W. Young
Founder and builder of Hollywood By-the-sea, Florida
FLORIDA'S ALL YEAR SEASIDE CITY
THE NEW PLAYGROUND of AMERICA
Beckons the Summer Vacationists to
New and Romantic Experiences, to
Ideal Climate and Tropical Delights
A miracle of the Gulf Stream has made Hollywood the most alluring playground of America. This mysterius and wonderful river of warm water sweeps up from the Gulf of Mexico. It comes within one and and a half miles of Hollywood- closer than at any other point on the entire coast. In winter the Stream keeps Hollywood balmy and warm; in summer delightfully mild, for it acts as a weather regulator, maintaining an evenness of temperature not found in any other part of the South.
Then, too, the cool trade winds of the great Atlantic blow directly over Hollywood, so that even in mid-summer when all the world is sweltering the climate of this beautiful seaside city is unbelievably lovely and fresh. Every day in Hollywood seems like a day in June- an average summer temperature of 80.5 degrees, according to figures of U.S. Weather Bureau.
The ship that takes you to Hollywood.
