Part of our history...what the Casino offered the community back in the day...


Hey Wes,
Thought you might be interested in the ads that Newman's Health Center used to run in the Palm Beach Post.  I'm a big history junkie - love this stuff.  There was a lady by the name of Mrs. Helen Newman who was appointed to the local board of massage in the early 1940's.  She's probably the masseuse referenced in the ads.
Cheers,
