DO something better than it ever has been done and
somebody will be at your door after that sometime.
We are dong that something-our clothins for men.
You will find your way to our door some day-per-
haps to-day or in a fortnight. 1t depends upon how
soon you let reason guide you. Will you begin now?
You need not 8rapple with our intricate tailorins
system, nor the precautions Or Innovations through
which we find perfection. Leave the means aside
and contemplate the end-the garments.
What do you count the Vital Essential in a suit or
topcoat? Is it a serviceable fabric in an exclusive
pattern? Is it expressive tailoring in which distinc-
tiveness has its source or is it a radically new
model? Let it be all three and still can we pled6e
ourselves 10 satisfy your demands.
Nor will it worry us whether it be a suit or topcoat
at fifteen dollars or one at forty. They are all rela-
lively equal in the three Vital Essentials.
You cannot afford to 50 with us through our variety
Of models, fabrics, Weaves and pauerns--it would
demand more than a day. A thousand men could
leave our shop, each with a different suit or topcoat
Of ours. Perhaps you know Of another shop that
can honor that boast--we have not heard Of it.

I wish to put statement In there. Joe King,

Q-Wait, Mr. Ford. Would you mind my ask
ing you question as to each one OF those! A
No sir.
Q-How long had Joe Kings cars been on

have to go to the Office TO get all that
Q-You couldn't answer that question: then,
with regard to any that you mentioned? A-No,
not as to how long they haze been here
Q-Mr Ford why haven't the employees under
you given answers to communications from con,
signees relative to cars they have in the yards!
In answer to several questions along this line
Mr. Ford finally referred the matter to Mr.. Spen'
Ger, who was present
Q-Mr. Ford, you realize that this congestion
here and the delays in supplying cars to the mills
and other interests, is threatening the very bust
ness life of our institutions don't your Al

more possible to- supply cars to the mill promptly,
doesn't It? A-Wel1, It makes It harder But
must say that the c0nsignees In Jacksonville have
certainly done great deal to help out the situa'
ton They have unloaded cars 100 feet back
from the docks and done 1t cheerfully and we
haven't kept up with the demands OF the mills
The whole trouble Is that they haven't got any
ships In here to take 1t out
In answer to series OF questions the witness
said that the congestion In Jacksonville mad not
:nterfered in any way with any perishable move
ment in the State.
Q-Mr Ford suppose one OF these lumber ship
pers here desires to move a vessel. Do you
think he ought to charter the vessel and have It az
your dock before he goes 10 moving the lumber
from the mills? A-We don't think It ought
to be as broad as that but about the time he
places an order for the lumber he ought to place
an order for ship to take 1t away
Dwell now, Mr.. Ford, IL you desire, to make
any remarks just proceed In your own way. A
Well, would like to submit to the Commission
blue print of the new terminal docks that we have
nut in Jacksonville, Fla. I do this on account OF
the testimony given yesterday that the railroads
were not keeping up with the business WISH
10 state trat we have enough dock space In jack
sonville to take care of twice the amount OF lum-
Der that comes In over the c. l.. II 1t is prop
erly handled after It gets to Jacksonville and wa
ter transportation Is provided. / wish to add that
we have placed a new yard at the export terminal
docks to hold 274 cars. which Is considered ample
as a storage yard for the new terminal docks. We
can berth at this dock Is ships at one time. In
addition to the blue print OF the terminal docks
/ wish to file with the Commission blue print OF
new yard we have built in Jacksonville in tho
last two years to take care Of the business with
the storage capacity of 1000 cars. This In addL
ton to the new yard that was built about three
years ago to take care OF the increased business
Mr.. Ford then filed otner papers showing thu
number of cars handled by the A. G. L.. the num-
Der of cars each firm brought into Jacksonville
over his line, all tending to show that his line
handled its full share Of the business. Continuing
he said:
