              WORLD RENOWNED CLIMATE
HAPPIER,  HEALTHIER  WORKERS
PULL YEAR-ROUND PRODUCTION
WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES show there is an aver-
'» age of only 6 days a year when Miami does not have
sunshine. Likewise, not more than 5 days annually register
more than 95 degrees. The daily range of temperatures is
very small, an average of only 11.8 degrees, and its average yearly range of mean monthly temperature is only
14.5. Thus, the principal cause of colds, one of labor's
principal causes of absenteeism—swift and drastic
changes of temperatures—is absent.
Comparisons of Miami and Boston show Miami's summers are as delightful as its winters. On June 21, Miami
has 2 hours and 16 minutes less sunshine than northern
cities; 2 hours and 16 minutes less to heat up and more
to cool off. On December 21, Miami has 2 hours and 1
minute more to heat up and less to cool off. The Gulf
Stream and steady trade winds also have powerful steadying effects on climatic conditions.
