THIS  is the 1924 FULL PAGE ad for CHUMUCKLA WATER placed in the Pensacola News Journal. At the time the water was sold in glass jugs as far off as Chicago.  It was bottled (piped over) in McDavid - across the river from Chumuckla Springs and then loaded on freight cars for wide distribution.   The large poster allows for a clear reading of the "testimonials" as shown in the original advertisement.  The digital archives at the University of West Florida are a treasure for these kinds of historical records.    This is available as a poster and as a T-shirt and other gift items.  Look for this and many other unique items related to Chumuckla and Pace Farms.  The poster - will likely be a superb gift for anyone who loves this history - even people who no longer live here.  

The water enterprise did not get started until in the 1920's.  It was an entrepreneurial idea that lasted for over a decade. But the depression did eventually force an end.  As with the often discussed HOTEL at Chumuckla Springs -- there was no permanence.   The hotel only lasted a couple of years between 1915 and 1918 and burned down --- but, it remains a long-memory over generations.  Even our departed parents born in the 1920's never actually saw the hotel. They only heard the stories.  

The Springs property is currently owned by the developer Harrell Downey. It is closed off to the public but it may - in coming years - become a resort type subdivision. Who knows.?
