Scope and ContentTranscript of a letter written by Dorr Felt to the Grand Rapids Press about local attitudes towards restorers: SUGGESTS DIFFERENT ATTITUDE TOWARD RESORTERS (Grand Rapids Press) Editor of the Press: I note your editorial in The Press of April 9 entitled "Real Estate Buyers vs. Speculators. I am not sure that I correctly understand what seems to be an insinuation that "outsiders" are responsible for the present attempt to create a speculative boom in Michigan recreation property. I do know that this attempt is bung inspired and engineer by Michigan people and not by outsiders. Of course if it succeeds all sorts of undesirable speculators will come in from outside. I am sorry to see that. I bought some land in Michigan several years ago. that same year many other Chicago people bought land in the same neighborhood and a local woman remarked to Mrs. Felt that "the crop of Chicago suckers was very good this year." It took me a couple of years to get Mrs. Felt in the frame of mind where she could enjoy a sojourn in Michigan. If the Riviera of the central states is ever developed so as to become nationally promoted, as it should it will be done by outsiders, as they will spend their money for development and are much more liberal with the public than the local people, but they are meeting with discourtesy and discouragement on every hand. I, myself, built several miles of private surfaced road to enable people to drive auto-mobiles to the beach and let the public in freely; where before there had been no such road for miles in either direction, yet when the paper began to acclaim a certain supreme court decision as taking the riparian rights away from shore owners, some of those very same people called my attention to it with glee. Some of them had not been to the shore for 20 years until I made it available. In the long run money spend in advertising is wasted if not supported by a spirit of respectful hospitality, genuine good service and fair dealing. Chicago, III. D.E. Felt
