The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1911-04-14

stand pre-eminently alone for durabil-
ity, perfection in construction and ar
tistic design and finish To supply the
demands for screens of a cheaper
! grade. and those very generally used
by one of moderate means, those man
ufactured by the OCALA LUMBER &
| SUPPLY COMPANY here in Ocala
cannot be surpassed. Very recently,
J one of the greatest inventions of re-
cent years has been patented, and is
known as the HIDDEN SCREEN. The
patent rights for Marion county and
adjoining counties have been purchas-
ed for the manufacture and sale of
: this decidedly practical and novel
modern convenience by the OCALA
LUMBER & SUPPLY COMPANY,
and with the untiring energies of Mr..
c. L. Anderson devoted to this depar-
/ ture of the business, it is surprising
the number that have been manufac-
tured and sold in and around Ocala
since the purchase of the patent rights
somt two months ago. AS number
! of our readers are still unfamiliar
with the many advantages afforded by
a screen of this description, and of
the convenience it is to the house
! holder, the company keeps on exhibit
ton at their office at all times, a prac-
tical demonstration of the workings of
this device, and will be pleased TO
! have any of our readers come and
make inspection. even though they
may not be interested in the pur-
chase of this class of material.
Brick
Brick is one line OF their business
that does not require much to be said
about it, but still embraces a very
large part in the building material
line. The stock of brick as carried on
their yards is very complete and en-
braces all grades, from the finest
pressed brick as manufactured by the
Sibley-Menge Pressed Brick Company
of Birmingham, Ala, to the Florida
sand brick
/ Hardwood Floors
To most of our readers the fact
that hardwood floors can be purchas-
ed right here in Ocala is still I'M
known, and it was, we confess with
some surprise, that we ourselves
learned that we could have our needs
for this class of material filled by a
local concern. We find that the
OCALA LUMBER & SUPPLY COM
PANY represents one of the largest
hardwood flooring manufacturing con-
Germs in the world, namely, the Nash
vile Hardwood Flooring Company of
Nashville, Tenn, and they are in a po-
sition to fill any and all kinds of or
| ders for this class of material on
short notice.
Builders Hardware
In this line we have the advantage
of most complete stock. as the Nor
vell-Shapleigh Company of st. Louis
have made the OCALA LUMBER &
SUPPLY COMPANY their agents for
builders hardware in this territory.
and an inspection of the many and va
rious kinds of material is necessary
for our readers to form an idea of the
magnitude of this line of their bust
ness.
Conclusion
To those of our readers who have
followed closely the detailed account
given above of the many different
lines of material carried in stock at
all times, and by glancing at the views
on the accompanying page, we feel
that they will agree with US that we
were justified in our statement that
Marion county and middle Florida
generally would make no mistake in
pointing to the OCALA LUMBER &
SUPPLY COMPANY as a concern
that could boast of success and I'M
bounding prosperity, and that our
young men would do well to try and
initiate the founder of this successful
company, and whatever line of bust
ness they enter, be encouraged, even
though failure be threatening at diff
ferent times, by what another has &C
complished. and the possibilities af-
forded a young man in the south of to-
day.
