Local Ocean It’s History
1972 Vacation Guide BY FRED MILLER
R
EADING the 92-page 1972 Ocean City Vacation Guide is like opening a time capsule and seeing what life was like in America’s Greatest Family Resort a half century ago. While some things have changed, many things have not. The book was published by Bolling Publishers under the auspices of the Ocean City Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Association. It was distributed by the Department of Public Relations to prospective visitors interested in learning more about Ocean City and its accommodations, attractions and facilities. A welcoming letter signed by Mayor B. Thomas Waldman, Commissioner Robert E. Lewis and Commissioner Luther L. Wallace was on the first page of the book. It was printed under the headline: “You are most cordially invited to America’s Greatest Family Resort.”
