The Ell Perfecto
Cigar Mfg Co.
Local Makers of Havana Cigars
Widely Known For Their Excel
lence of Workmanship and
Superior Flavor.

For many years Palatka has been
the home of one of the best-managed
cigar factories in Florida. This is
The Ell Perfecto Cigar Company, off
cially registered as Factory No. IA.
founded and at present under the di-
rect management of Mr.. ]. B. Finn,
whose reputation as an expert in all
things pertaining to the manufacture
and handling of cigars is generally
acknowledged to be among the best
in the business.
Mr.. Finn removed to Palatka many
years ago, having made an enviable
name for himself i'll cigar circles as
foreman of the famous FL Modelo fac
tory, then located in Jacksonville. AT
the time of his connection with FL
Modclo, it was the largest and best
equipped cigar factory in Florida.
Having entered the business at II
years of age, Mr.. Finn was a sea-
5oned veteran in all branches of the
work before he had reached his ma
jority. His careful study of the char
acter of the workers under him, their
peculiar abilities and shortcomings,
made him not only popular with the
employees, but enabled him to show
greater results in the line of produc
ton.
When FL Modelo finally removed
to Tampa, Mr.. Finn decided to strike
out for himself, and taking a few tried
and faithful workers came to Palatka.
He has been located here ever since,
and has helped give the town some
thing of its solid prestige. The pres
emf site of the factory on Reid street
has been occupied for over eight
wears. During that time the house
has been transformed into a mail
order concern entirely under which
system the business has continued to
grow and prosper.
Extensive improvements in the tac-
tory are contemplated for the near
future. although the present floor
STAGE occupied exceeds 1000 square
feet. Twenty-Five TO thirty-tlve work.
ers are employed the year round
many of which are natives OF Cuba,
and highly skilled artists in their va
rious lines. The present capacity OF
the FL Perfecto factory runs from
1000 to 5000 cigars a day During
rush seasons as many as $4,000 cigars
have been turned out in working
day.
Mr. Finn manufactures twenty-five
different brands. The most popular
Os these are the HlSh Oi"''
do Florida" "Reina Fina," and
Tampa Smokers" Among the other
brands may be mentioned The FL
p, rfecto Clear Havana Smoker
"Tbe Long Filler Havana Smoker,
"Porto Rico Brevas," "Purisima Club
tIo,sc" oRcsago" and ''Pinar Chica.' y

the COCHRANE
BOOK STORE
An Aggressively Managed Business
Which Reflects the General Trade
and Industrial Progress of Palatka.

When it comes to pointing with
pride, Palatka just can't make her
index finger behave in the case of
the Cochrane Book Store. This en-
terprise would add lustre to any city,
for it is one of the largest and most
important wholesale houses in the
state. In some lines, such as souven-
If post cards and writing tablets, its
stock is unquestionably the larges,
carried by any Florida concern. Just
recently a consignment of three car
loads of school and college tablets
was added to the general stock at
one time, and the Cochrane store also
bears off the palm for handling tbs
greatest amount of fishing tackle
Mr.. F. c. Cochrane. the founder
and proprietor of this fourishing es-
adjustment, is one of Palatka's oldest
business men. He started reatil
book and stationery store here in
1882. A few years later this was
wiped out by FIRE in common with

cilities for irrigation are thus assured
the year round. The natural surround
lngs are all that could be desired bv
the lover of nature, and no more
healthful and delightful climatic con
ditions can be found between the At.
lantlc and the Gulf. Perfect natural
drainage gives the tract greater free
dom from mosquitoes and other in
sect pests than is to be enjoyed by
trucking centers in any other part OF
the country. Under clear skies and
famed by the invigorating breezes
from the ocean on one side and the
broad sweep of the St. Johns on the
other, settlers may pursue their work
on farm and orchard without dscom-
fort from the beginning Of the year to
its end. Three or four crops a wear
from the same tract being the rule
throughout Florida, many settlers
have found it a mere matter of steady
application to up-to-d date farming prin-
ciples to amass comfortable compe-
tencieS.
Without the aid OF general pub
licity campaign, but mainly through
correspondence, nearly 400 acres OF
the large tract have already been dis
posed of to homeseekers from the
northern and western states When
the splendid advantages of the set
Element are more widely known, it is
safe to say that the remaining acre
ages will be snapped up in short Or
der The Florida East Coast railroad
crosses the property on the north and
west side. Hard roads lead direct
from Palatka and Hastings to the
heart of the tract.
The land is being sold in parcels OF
from ten acres up, at $50 per acre.
The terms offered are one-third down,
one third at the end of the first year,
and the remaining third at the end OF
the second year In this way the land
can be made to pay for itself.
Mr.. Becks also acts as special agent
for the sale of city and suburban prop
erty, and has handled many of the
finest orange groves, peach orchards
and timber and turpentine tracts that
have been sold in Putnam county OF
late years. He has an able and active
assistant in the person of MIR. A. A.
Gore, one of Palatka's popular young
business men
In addition to his real estate opera
tons, Mr., Becks has worked up a
large business in industrial insurance
for the General Accident Insurance
Company Of Philadelphia, and has
written many policies for the State
Mutual Life of Rome. Ga, His office
in the Canova Building, I2I Lemon
street, is one of the most inviting IN
town.

Followers of all occupations except
thoSe counted as highly dangerous to
HE and limb find here cheap and
convenient means of protection in
case OF sickness, accident or death
travellers in particular take advantage
OF the liberal rates which the Atlantic
< Gulf Company have put into ef-
feet.
1t was after many years careful
study of the great industrial insurance
concerns that the members of the G.
Lopez Bailey Agency decided to add
such a subsidiary company as the At.
lalltlc & Gulf to their business. All of
the best features of the most success
lul health, accident and casualty COM
panles OF this and other countries
were adopted. The weekly premiums
range from to so cents, and persons
OF either sex, from 3 to S. years of
age, may take out policies. The ben
ehts accruing to policy-holders of the
"lndustriaP department under the
terms of their contracts with the
company run from $I.oo to $1,000
weekly for sickness, with from 20
cents to $I,oo extra allowances after
two weeks of continuous illness. In
case of death the funeral benefits ag-
gregate from $I2oo to $4,000. For
injuries sustained while travelling,
double rates are paid.
In the Commercial department the
monthly premiums are from $I.oo to
$500, and the monthly indemnity
runs from $4,000 to $500 per month
tor sickness or accidents. Quarantine
indemnity is also provided for. Quick
and satisfactory adjustment of claims
under all circumstances is made a
special inducement. Very attractive
terms are also being offered agents.
Everything points to long and pow
eriuI career for the new company.
