Jolly, plump Dave Sholtz went to Florida at 22 to study law. Becoming an Elk, a Shriner, a Rotarian and president of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, he learned to spout the booster's creed.

As the music grew faster and the dance grew hotter, she stripped off her dress bit by bit, finally emerged in a skirt and brassière of tobacco leaves-about enough to make six cigars (see cut). Later Governor Sholtz of Florida, Mayor Chancey of Tampa and many another bigwig attended a banquet in honor of a few feeble old cigarmakers who still remembered Señor Don Gavino Gutierrez...

Cooke of the National Resources Board; Governors-elect Bibb Graves of Alabama and Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina; Governors Talmadge of Georgia and Sholtz of Florida; Senators Robinson of Arkansas and Harrison of Mississippi, who after a four-hour conference jointly declared against the Bonus, for a balanced "normal" budget, with no new taxes next year; President Rudolf Hecht of the American Bankers' Association (see p. 53) who spoke enthusiastically of "co-operation between...
