Chapter 1245: Chapter 426: Two Years, the Election Approaches
It has been two years since the Miami hurricane passed.
Donnie was wearing a simple coat, lying on a lounge chair at Palm Beach in Miami, surrounded by ten bodyguards in black suits. Their burly figures caught the attention of other tourists visiting Palm Beach. Although they didn’t know who he was, they could be sure he was definitely soone important.
If you observe carefully, Donnie now has so differences from two years ago. By this year, Donnie was already 32 years old, and he had deliberately grown a beard, adding considerable gravity to his appearance.
In the past two years, only a few close friends around Donnie still dared to joke with him.
At this mont, Donnie was holding the “Atlantic City Post” in his hands.
Since Deep Sea Investnts entered Florida two years ago, the “Atlantic City Post” had also expanded into Florida. In two years, the “Atlantic City Post” beca the largest-distribution newspaper in Florida.
Today is March 4th, a weekend Sunday.
Thus, the “Atlantic City Post” featured information related to holidays, such as entertainnt ads and discount information.
However, as the “Atlantic City Post” had now beco a national newspaper, there was too much information to publish, resulting in nurous and extensive pages, making Tang Fei feel it was sowhat laborious to hold this stack of newspapers.
The liveliest social news remained the discussion about Coolidge’s decision not to continue running for election a few months ago. Coolidge had only spoken a simple sentence at the ti without explaining the reason, which led to much discussion.
But no matter how much they discussed, a new candidate had erged, naly Herbert Hoover, a Cabinet mber during the Harding and Coolidge period.
During this ti, Herbert Hoover was actively reaching out to various elite factions within the Republican Party to form his campaign team, and he was exceedingly busy with it.
So comntaries even suggested that there were so conflicts between Herbert Hoover and Coolidge…
Additionally, an advertisent for Tesla cars launched by Cadillac appeared in the newspaper. Tesla cars had been released for three months, nearly at the sa ti as the Ford Model A cars.
After the launch of these two car models, they imdiately drew the attention of people nationwide. Whether it was a well-dressed gentleman or a richly adorned lady, they all cast envious glances upon seeing a brand new Tesla or Ford Model A car.
Both models beca the most popular cars in the United States at the start of 1928.
Colonel Lindbergh, who once successfully flew nonstop across the Atlantic, was still regarded as a hero. However, this hero is still single. Today’s paper also covered his news, revealing that Congress proposed to turn Lindbergh’s forr ho in Little Falls, Minnesota, into a museum, but this proposal was rejected by Lindbergh.
At the sa ti, another Arican flying hero, Colonel Byrd, announced his new challenge target—to fly directly to Antarctica!
Donnie flipped the newspaper to the fashion section, where the advertisent images showed that skirts worn by won were now the shortest in history—just covering the knees.
On the sports page, it talked about Caron Block organizing a long-distance running race nad ‘Bunion Derby’. According to the schedule, the 274 long-distance runners would start from Los Angeles and run all the way to New York.
There’s also NCAA’s March Madness.
Many people actually thought NCAA’s March Madness was not yet crazy, but there was no choice because just last year, after two years of preparation, the Arican NBA finally started. However, at this ti, only ten cities had NBA teams: New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Boston, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Atlantic City.
The formation of the NBA provided a haven for college basketball players, which gave rise to the notion of NCAA’s March Madness.
On the advertising page, there’s a joint advertisent by Mrs. William Jay, Mrs. Robert Bacon, and Mrs. Charles Ramsey for Simmons sheets. In the advertisent images, their noble and elegant aristocratic deanor made the product they endorsed—Simmons sheets—look extraordinary.
However, the most captivating advertisent on that page was not this one but a watch ad endorsed by Jessica Dole, an actress recognized as the number one female star in Arican Hollywood.
Rumor has it that this watch has been selling like crazy!
