Racket Store man of the Brick City.
had his fall opening last Saturday and
his old store with his new annex made
a splendid showing. The additional
floor room gives the racket proprietor
a fine opportunity to make a very at
tractive display of his enlarged and
varied stock. If seeing is believing,
then the Racket Store is to be counted
with in securing it's share of the trade
tributary to Ocala. 1t is real pleas
ure to inspect the goods in the Racket
Store and note its completeness. its
novelties. it's great varieties for orna-
nent. comfort and use. The store is
certainly a bee hive of bargains Don I

w. c. Temple. general manager OF
the Florida Citrus Exchange. has de-
partment in the Tampa Tribune and
clearly shows that the shipment of
green fruit from this state is an ex-
pensive luxury to the grower. In a
word they are working for the rail-
road and not themselves. The ex-
change positively refuses TO ship green
fruit and such as they are shipping
now is bringing better price than
the fruit being forwarded by various
parties in the state. 1t does seem
that it is a proposition SO apparent to
the grower that they would wait until
their fruit is ripe enough to command
a good price and meet the taste of the
buyers.
