When you go away from home
low II, iutntly do you here this
question::
"HOw's business in Palatkn?'
Perhaps yon have never thought
of the Importance OF proper answer
to this question, ana You have dis
missed it with the curpless reply, 20,
pretty farr
Bat that doesn't express the cor
rect comdltiun. Business is good in
Palatka. IT, good even IN mid sum
mer There's always not only some
thing but ii good deal. doing here.
When it comes to manufacturing,
don't yoh know that the largest cy-
press door mandatory in the world
is the Selden Cypress Door company
of Palatka? Here's another pointer.
Mr.. Selden states that his August
business was the largest in the his
tory of the company.
Then there's the Wilson Cypress
company. Great lumber mills with
a daily capacity of 100000 feet.
and running day in and day out,
at its full capacity right through the
entire year.
Then there's the Davis Cypress
tank factory. with lis big business
reaching to all parts of the United
States, and the stanton foundry and
machine shops, rs well as Il lot Of
other and less important concerns
employing men.
But our merchants are doing some
thing, too. Did you ever look into
the kennerly Hardware company's
store and find anybody connected
with the company loafing. Guess
not.
Mr., Fearnside of the Fearnside
Clothing company, who has just OPP
rned his fall and winter line Of goods
for men and boys wear, pointing to
the immense piles of goods in his
store and to the reserve stock in the
back room said: my invoices show
that the Fcnrnside Clothing COM
panv has II stock amounting to $3l,-
900. It's the biggest stock of the kind
ever brought to Palatka, and beats
We have ever attempted by
between $4,000 and $1,000 Our grow
ing business has justified this in
crease in stock, We shall sell the
goods And right here let me say
that in quality and style there isn't a
stock this side of Atlanta that com
pares with it. -
These instances are given so that |
when anybody asks you How $ bus
mess in Palatka?' you can answer
them little more explicitly than in
that 20, pretty fair' chestnut.
