TO DRAW AND HOLD TRADE

Most Of us, said MT shoveton. are looking out for ourselves; l think we'll all admit that The trouble with most of IS is that We don't do this Intelligently, We are always thinking of ourselves and our own interest only and that's where We slip q cog. Let ne iliustrate
 I buy fruit to carry home; I've done that for we'll good many years. and for a long time bought around in various places. Then one day some years ago stopped at a store where I liked the looks CT The fruit and where as noticed mo- ment later, tte paper bags were little heavier than those had been accustomed to find
 And when this dealer had put the fruit in one of these bags he didn't simply twist the neck of it and hand it over to me in form inconvenient to carry He folded the top Of the bag over and rolled 1t down 10 form hande-a grip piece; and then he tied this bundle around securely with twine, thus making 1t up altogether into bundle that was secure and handy to carry.
 of course liked all that ard 1 found that he always did up his packages putting on some times a wood and wire handle but always he made the package secure and handy for me. He had some thought for me, and I've been buying Of him ever since; and if he should move I'd follow him would go out of my way 10 trade with him
 The moral Is this: Any small storekeeper if his goods are right. build up a trade and hold it and increase if he has the intelligence and the human quality that prompts him faithfully to con- slider not himself alone but well the wants and interests of his customers"

FORT PIERCE STEALS
A BRILLIANT MARCH

The activity of the Fort Pierce Board
of Trade in spreading advertising for
that city among the thousands of north
ern visitors in Fort Lauderdale this
week has created a mild sensation with
in the ranks of the representatives of
other cities on the ground.
Fact is Fort Pierce has stolen march
on it's rivals in not only sending 4 live
wire into the field to personally invite
the Wis itOrs to look over the city and
country, but by supplementing personal
effort with an attractive advertisement
in The Daily Metropolis each day and
purchasing 500 copies of The Metropo-
lis to distribute every evening free of
charge.
The visitors, who wait eagerly for
The Metropolis in the evening, have
learned that Fort Pierce is responsible
for the complimentary distribution.
They admire the enterprise of the
givers, and many have already de-
termined never to leave Florida until
they have visited the city that is being
boosted by bunch of such enterpris.
ing citizens.
Anu III lItS tiiCy otC SoliCSe' IOl
Pierce is the center of one of the most
promising sections of Florida. Its
climate, of course is perfect, like all of
the East Coast; its soil is rich, and
both fruit growing and gardening are
carried on with splendid profit. Stock
raising is also a thriving industry,
fact which appeals specially to the
Northerner. In addition to the natural
wealth of the country Fort Pierce is
charming little city, made up of cul-
tured and well-to-do people from every
State in the Union.
The publicity campaign at Fort
Lauderdale, which is being so ably con-
Quoted, is in the hands of Mr.. R. L.
Goodwin, one of the leading farmers of
the Indian river valley. Mr.. Goodwin
has booth at the main corner in Pro-
gresso for the Fort Pierce Board of
Trade with 3 beautiful display of
Jineapples and all kinds of other pro-
ducts calculated to make people eager
to live where they are found.
Around the Fort Pierce exhibition
the crowd congregates early in the
morning, and every moment the place
is thronged with interested people,

SCHOOL
CONVENTION
Sunday School Workers of St,
Lucie County Organized
SCHOOLS REPRESENTED
An Aggressive Campaign for Complete
Organized Effort to be Made Immedi-
ateIy by the County Officers

Some weeks ago two gentlemen came
to our town on an important Grand
that of advancing the Sunday Schoo
organized work in this State. They
were Mr.. R R. Ray, secretary of the
state Sunday School Association and
John B. Swartz, Pennsylvania work
er, who was helping organize the work
in Florida. Quite number of those
most interested, assembled in the Meth
odist church, and these gentlemen SPOKE
of the advantages Of organized efforts.
The people responded and committee,
consisting Of Rev. H. w. McCombs, R.
+. Blanchard and w. |. Fee, was ap-
pointed to promote the work in st. Lu-
Gle county. Accordingly this commit.
mittee issued a call for county con-
vention to be held March 10th, at Fort
Pierce. Notice was sent to all schools
in the county, as far as the committee
could learn of them.
Anafternoon and evening session was
held, six schools being repres ented.
The convention was opened by Rev.
H. w. McCombs, chairman of the COM
mittee. Reports and remarks were
heard from delegates of the various
schools.
John B. Swarz, who is under appoint
ment to an important position in organ
lied Sunday School work in Philadel-
phia, gave An address on "The Effect
of Organization. He showed how Or
ganization increased the efficiency of
the school, helping to keep up interest
and bring expert knowledge and meth
DDS to the local school. He spoke es-
pecially of the spirit of fellowship and
co-operationit fosters, bringing the va
rious denominations together in united
effort. Rev. DeBose and Rev. Fripp
and others spoke in favor of organiza-
ton, and by unanimous vote those
present decided to organize a Sunday
School Association of St. Lucie County,
a committee on nomination being APP
pointed to report at evening session.
At 1880 Devotional Service was held
by Rev. DuBose, of the Fort Pierce
Baptist church. After a short address
by Rev. McCombs, the committee on
nominations presented its report thru
the chairman, G. E. Dutton as follows:
For President, Rev. H. w. McCombs
was named; Rev. j. c. DuBose, vice.
president; w. |. Fee, secretary and R.
E. Minis, treasurer. These were cleo
ted. The address was then given by J.
B. Swartz on Model Sunday School,
This meeting was of very great i'm
portance, and it is hoped good fruit will
result from it. 1t is matter of regret
that weather conditions and poor train
service kept some delegates fromout of
the city from attending.
1t is expected that all the schools in
the county will be visited and the move
ment pushed, and it is sincerely hoped
that everyone Interested in the King
dom of Truth will help in this move
ment for more effective work in teach
ing the truth and spreading it more
widely. "Sanctfy them thru Truth;
Thy Word is TRUTH
