"Ocala's Airport" F s. I. D. OCALA AND SILVER SPRINGS OCALA and Silver Springs need no intro- duction to tourists who have previously viewed Central Florida. The world-wide fame of Silver Springs. and the now-existing work on the controversial Florida Cross-State-Canal. which is centered at Ocala, bring thousands of additional visitors to these cities annually. Ocala, situated in one of Florida's most produc- tive regions, is an important dairying, poultry- raising and livestock center. Her fine old trees. many of them moss-draped oaks, and her crowning glory, the great Ocala National Forest, are marks of distinction that lure the lovers of natural beauty. The airport at Ocala has been recently paved. and all modern facilities await her "flying guests". "Downtown Ocala" "Florida Canal Project" Coirter of Onala Chamll r nf Commerce [109]
