The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1909-12-03
BIGGEST INDUSTRY IN FLORIDA

Do the readers of this paper know
that Ocala is soon to have the third
largest and the best equipped canning
factory in the United States?
The fact that this factory has been
in the process of erection almost with
in stones throw of this Office and
no one connected with it knew a word
about it shows how rapidly Ocala is
growing.
\ reporter of this paper had the
pleasure of an inspection Of this plant
yesterday and was astonised at its
size and completeness.
Mr.. 4. W. Braselton, the leading
spirit in this enterprise, is so san
guine of success and so enthusiastic
that he refused to sell a half interest
in il for more than the whole plant
cost him. Mr.. BraseltOn is from At
lanta, and has developed the Atlanta
spirit" in its most ardent and stimu-
lating form.
He is the owner of the finest drug
store in Atlanta and made it a sue
cess by making il the handsOmest in
the south.
Mr.. Braselton has been in Ocala
since September, but has been as
punctual in experimenting the cree
ton and rebuilding of his plant as a
clock. and, like a pendulum, has
swung only between his hotel and his
factory.
Now, that he has it nearly complet-
ed, he is telling the people what he
has done, for he wants them to know
all about it.
Mr. Braselton purchased the plant
of the old East Florida ice factory
from the Benjamin Bros. He has
raised the building six feet, has
strengthened its foundations, widened
its piazzas and approaches and enlarg-
ed the building. He has increased the
capacity of the ice plant from ten to
thirty tons per day and has supplied
il with double engines, double pumps,
etc. so as TO make a breakdown i'm
possible. He has remodeIed the stor-
age rooms. put in new freezing pipes.
and in doing so has followed the latest
and most approved methods. He has
storage capacity enough to care for
all the meat that is now produced in
the county. Besides, he has small
family storage departments, with sep
arate lockers, which he thinks when
their merits are known will become
popular.
But the greatest surprise, and what
is destined to do more for Ocala than
else is his immense canning
factory. The machinery and applinac-
es for it filled three cars. There are
only two plants in the United States
that will exceed it in size and none
in completeness of equipment
The factory has a capacity of can
ming of 10000 of 2 or 3-pOund cans of
tomatoes and 10000 cans of potatoes
or peaches per day.
Mr.. Braselton says that his will be
the only factory in the United States
that has an ice and cold storage plant
in connection with it. and this will
give him an immense advantage, as he
can keep his products indefinitely
Mr.. Braselton and the other mem
bers of the corporation are elegant
gentlemen and they invite the people
of Ocala to visit the plant and ascer-
tain what is expected to be accom-
plished.
II is decidedly the biggest hit that
Ocala has made in many a day, and
it is hoped thta it will pave the way
for the establishment of other indus
tries.

ORANGES BETTER THAN GOLD

Cleveland Leader
Last year California produced gold
worth si6,S53 500. 1t was Is per cent
OF the gold mined in the United States,
Alaska included. Only three countries
in the world. outside of America, beat
that one American state. The Cali
fornia gold yield was equal to about
$40 to every man, woman and child in
the state. This year California has
shipped eastward oranges valued at
s24,375.000. The golden fruit of the
groves was worth nearly so per cent
more than the metallic gold of its
mines, probably fully that proportion
above the gold yield, taking account
of the oranges consumed in the state.
The golden crop of the trees can
be renewed, over and over, for cen
turtles. The mines will be worked
out some day and exhausted forever
The oranges of California will un-
doubtedly be worth much more, far in
the future, than they are now. 1t will
be otherwise, In ali probability, with
the gold mines. Climate and soil, not
the precious metals, will be the best
