Fort Lauderdale in 1921: Keep fit with ice cream ... and about that new shipment of mules

 

A glimpse of 1921 Fort Lauderdale ...

Note the telephone number "25" for Windham's Confectionery.  Below are advertisements from the 
Fort Lauderdale Herald, the city's first newspaper, which launched in 1910. It was produced near Deland, however, and delivered to Fort Lauderdale.

Keep fit with ice cream? No wonder why they all screamed for ice cream.
Nothing like a sanitary lunch room for that mid day meal ...

Before yachts  ... mules and work horses
