OH Fields Believed to Be
Present In the Vicinity
Although oil has not yet been found
in the vicinity Of Ck;pley. its presence
is believed to be a fact. and so strong
is this belief that considerable sums OF
money are being spent in investigating.
On one place natural gas was found
and found in such quantity that the
machinery used in boring for the oil
will have to modified so the workmen
will be able to continue their investi-
cations.
Large Quantities Of Lime
Stone Considered Profitable
The great deposits of limestone IN the
near vicinity Of Chipley are being ex-
amined with view to commercial use.
its easy accessibility and the quantity

men of the community to believe it can

One Thing Chipley Wants
Is a Big Ice Factory
A commodity that is at a premium
in Chipley is ice and the people want
an ice factory as soon as one can be
built. The town patronage of the plant
would be close on to 1000 people. to
say nothing Of the thicky populated
neighborhood. A bottling works IN
town would also be paying Investment.
for the people Of Chipley like their soft
drinks as well as Others and at present
both ice and bottled drinks are. shipped
into town in gratifying quantities.
Chipley Has Room for a Dozen
Paying Investments and
Wants Them
The regeneration of the old town has
made room for a dozen paying enter
prises and there is money awaiting the
man who has few thousand dollars
to invest. The demand for modern
comforts and luxuries is strong and all
that the town people now have are
brought in from the outside world.
Chipley Is Growing Rapidly
But Wants and has Room for More
New buildings are going up in all
parts of town, but in spite Of this de-
velopment there is not a vacant build
ing in the city limits and there Is ever
a demand for more stores and more
dwellings. In spite Of this the business
men have the sense to realize that ii
would be bad business to raise the price
of real estate just in the midst of the
new growth and SO in spite Of the more
grasping ones. the conservative element
is succeeding in keeping the price IN
reach of men of small means who wish
to come in.
Street after street is being extended
into the territory adjacent to town and
as the streets grow the houses follow.
These houses are not temporary affairs.
but substantial dwellings built with an
eye to permanence.
The Town Wants People Of The n
Right Sort Who Work or
Have Money
There is no room in Chipley or the
surrounding country for chronic failures:
but men who have money to invest in
manufacturing enterprises and farm land
will be given every inducement and
he p to come to this place. The popu-
lation is cosmopolitan and there is none
of the class line business that is keep
ing some Southern towns in the back
ground. Clean men who are not scared
Of work stand as good a chance as any
one and go wherever the others do.
The place is clean. healthful. happy.

Of the country. They do not claim that
Chipley is the best town on the map
or that its land is better than any other
part Of the country. but Chipley and
its people will only take off their hats
to a better place when one is found 10
