it, increasing the capital stock to meet
the requirements of the occasion.

fact that the company is now putting

now practically at work on every
town from Arcadia to Tampa Prac-

now going on and the company has
its hands full in this respect. The
expenditures of the company are
amounting to a considerable sum of
money.
