Of city that forms its strongest
features, and much of the advance

employment to fifty people, and at
the present time they are advertising
for an additional number of female
help.
Mr.. A. L. Bassctt, the active man.

Wholesale FruftS and Vegetables.
For thirteen years this gentleman
has been handling wholesale fruits
and vegetables and has had a steady
growth of business which could have
only come from the right kind of
management.
The principles on which he has
worked have been those of absolute
equity to all concerned, and the low
est possible prices for which his goods
could be sold, in addition to which
he is willing to pay fair proportion
ate price for what he buys, with the
natural result that he has a choice
of some of the finest lots of fruits
and vegetables to be found anywhere.
He is located in his own new and
modern three story building on Main
street fronting Fountain square. The
room he occupies contains $500
square feet floor space, which gives
him exceptionally fine facilities for
handling a large stock of oranges,
bananas, apples, grapes, potatoes,
cabbages, and Florida vegetables.
Mr.. Pardue also handles the above
mentioned lines on consignments.
He has had many years experience
in his lines, and has studied the work
in this locality with the result that
when he established himself here he
had a pretty good idea of what he
was doing and the large business he
has carried on and built mp here
proves how genuine his insight was
in this particular instance. No less
than ten men are employed to carry
on and manage his immense business.
Mr.. Pardue is also interested in

a possibility are Messrs. James
