It is.with sincere appreciation that we tender our thanks to ihe co-operation of our valued Chamber of Com-nurce who b endorsement has made this message of iht greatness of Bay St. Louis to the entire United States possible.
We further tender and equa! vote of thanks to the ready response and assistance of our progressive merchants and business men who, through their enthusiastic support made possible a publication that will spread the innumerable advantages of the Bay throughout the entire country.
The time for an issue of this kind was opportune. The opening of the bridge, which is predicted within the next three weeks, offers an unparal-elled opportunity to tell the world of the advantages of the Bay.

It is always of interest to note the rapid and substantial growth of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and the ma-
i,	rial growth of our sister city across he bay St. Louis is all the more of interest.
While the Coast, as a whole, is one ?one for all and all for. one?the progress and expansion affecting Pass Christian in a measure reflects its beams bayward and the spirit of progress well nigh lends an influence of local interest and profit.
Noting present improvements, the Pass Christian weekly ?Tarpon? gives an interesting synopsis. It says:
The new home of the Pass Christian Branch of the Hancock County Bank will be completed before the end of the month. The building is situated on the corner of Beach boulevard and Davi3 avenue. It is a graceful two-story structure of pale buff brick and Bedford stone, constructed at an approximate cost of $75,000 and representing an investment of $125,000.	*
Plans for the building were drawn bv William T. Nolnn,~ New Orleans architect, and the contract awarded to Geary and Oakes, also of that city. Plumbing was installed by Alonzo B. Hayden, Inc., of Pass Christian.
