MunsIng Underwear

We bought literally this season Of
Munsing Underwear. At the same
time, we cannot anticipate six months
ahead just what sizes will sell best.
For that reason, it should appeal TO
you as a pretty good plan to buy
just a day before your size is sold
out. We can and do keep getting
more, but some times it is not quite
quick enough. We carry several
makes of Underwear and always try
to have our trade use the Munsing.

going over the reports on the pro-

several surveyed routes of the canal

The idea of having ship canal
across the State to relieve vessels Of
the long voyage around the southern
peninsula is an old question. and has
been talked of for years. After con-
siderable work on the part Of the

made possible, and several routes
were selected for the preliminary
work The majority Of these routes
begin at the mouth Of the St. Johns
river and branch of across the State
in various ways, as will permit Of the
most economical construction should
