HAS EXPENDED SIS, 600, 600

The greatest developer of the age
is Henry NJ. Flagler, the Florida
millionaire. He is now and has been
for years pouring out his treasure in
Florida like water, and is still doing
it. He has connected a wilderness
into populated thriving and wealthy
cities. He has made Florida the
ideal winter resort by his hotels, and
the State of Florida to-day is bene-
flied by thousands of dollars in taxes
through his property, ana his devel-
oping a large section of the state
where formerly only few hundreds
of dollars were realized. OF course,
those who dislike the gentleman will
snarl at the above, but they cannot
truthfully deny it, and it is not fiat
terry, but facts potent to every sensi-
BILE mind in the state. The New
York Commercial of Monday said of
Mr.. Flagler, as follows;
Henry NJ. Flagler owns nine hotels
in Florida, and among them one that
is counted the largest, and another
that is counted architecturally the
most beautiful, in the world, and a
railway system 800 miles long. He
is extending his railway along the
coral banks at the tip end of Florida
to Key West, but does not expect to
build any more hotels.
He is IS years old, and is satisfied
that nine hotels are enough for
man at his time of life. He has no
partners: he has offered no stock or
bonds for sale; he is not a borrower;
all the money invested has come out
of one pocket; all of the interests, all
of the property, belong to Mr.. Flag
Ter himself, and there is no excuse
for complaint about over-capitaliza-
ton, because the capital stock upon
which these many enterprises are
operated is only 81, 100000, and Mr..
Flagler owns every share except
four, which he has placed in the
hands of his managers to qualify
them as members of the directory.
Although the capital stock of the
Flagler companies amounts to only
million dollars, it probably repre-
sents go times as much, and those
who are familiar with Mr.. Flagler's
affairs calculate that by the time he
has completed his railway to Key
West his total investments in Flori-
da will exceed $4,000, OOO. -Jackson-

Dear Sir: If customer wants
$35 80 do you give him S75?
Suppose you should hear of one OF
your customers doing a thing like
that and not knowing it, what would
you say next time he wants discount?
Well venture half your men are
doing that very thing without a sus-
picion.
Men who paint any other paint
than Devoe are paying $75 for $50 90
or some other such figure.
10 gallons Devoe is enough for a
good size house two coats; 10 or 20
isn't too much of another paint.
There's 50 rs or $3.50 for or 10 extra
gallons; besides 81 to 81 II gallon for
putting it on; that's $40 to $40
That's how half the houses stores
factories warehouses shops barns
fences are painted: $50 for paint and
labor; $25 to 50 more for not knowing
what paint to put-on.
The one to put-on is the paint that
takes least gallons and makes least
bills for paint and labor.

There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In flue-curlng
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there Kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process DEVELOPS in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue cured tobaccos.
