[Image to side: drawing of dark bird in a ship's crow's nest looking through a telescope]
You can't be down and out...because the only way is Up! Up! Up! to the Crow's Nest of BLACKBEARD'S TAVERN atop St. Pete Beach's new HOLIDAY INN. Gourmet dining midst an atmosphere of the Spanish Main... You can almost feel the gentle surf and hear the timbers creaking as you dine with a breath-taking 30 mile panoramic view of water, beaches and star-studded skyline. Cocktails that are a swashbuckler's dream served by lovely Piratettes amongst the rum kegs and deck cannons of the GALLEON LOUNGE

![Vintage (circa late 19th/early 20th century) stock card (advertisement) featuring a man with a curly blond bob-mullet and a moustache. He is posing demurely in a lighter brown suit with breeches, a white collar and cuffs, and light blue short scarf tied around his neck. He also sports a large yellow brooch (?) in the center of his chest that looks like a flower or the sun.
Merchant name at top of card: William H. Frear. Again enlarged nd improved, Troy Cash Bazaar.
Verse at bottom of card: "Conceive me, if you can, a matter-of-fact young man, an alphabetical, arithmetical, every-day young man!" Patience.
