(Q) Would it be advisable to open a branch office at Tarpon
Springs, a small town about 15 miles away?
(A) This should depend upon whether or not there is
indicated the desire on the part of those in the vicinity,
and upon whether there is created by the activities the need
for such assuming definite shape as to have special days in
that town.
This should be rather as a commanding influence from those of
the town, than the preparation to draw upon the town.
By ingratiating self in the activities of the environs, and
in all of those influences, we find you will be called upon
to do such.
But Pos, as we find, will be better than self in that
particular environ.
(Q) Is there any other way we may increase business?
(A) These are the ways, if they will be built in such a
manner as to bring not only the material gain but a mental
contentment and a peace that brings harmony in every way and
manner.

4/25/38 Dr. [
1447]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Edgar:
Have been intending to write you for some time and thank you
for sending patients to met but have neglected doing it...
Since the tourists have left here - business has dropped off
to almost nothing. And while I was riding around the country
yesterday, drove through a little town about 50 miles from
here - I talked to the lady who operates the hotel and she
told me they had no doctor there at all and was very much
interested in having one. I was wondering if you thought it
would be a wise move to go over there due to the lack of
business here. Would greatly appreciate you opinion.
Again thanking you for the patients - and hoping all are well
at you place.
4/29/38 EC's reply:
Am sure the summer season is a bit slower, but that is when
you will have to spread out a bit - and if you are able to
hold offices special days in places not too far distant
should be just the right thing to do. Just so it doesn't
make it too expensive getting back and forth, and fifty miles
would not be much in you car - think would be a fine thing.
Always glad to hear from you, hope you are feeling fine and
that you keep busy.
With all good wishes
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce
