Proposition from the Power Compan

Proposition from, the Power Company
Following is the proposition made
by the Florida Power Company to the
city:
"Rosebank Cottage, Asheville, N. c."
July II, 1911"
Mr.. Robert r. Carroll. Ocala. Fla:
Dear Sir-After a careful analysis
cided to offer electric power to the city
at the following rates:
For the~first 36,5OO kilowatt hours
used in any calendar month. three
cents per kilowatt hour; for the next
1S,25O kilowatt hours used over and
above the aforesaid number of kilo-
watt hours, the rate of two and one
half cents per kilowatt hour; for all
current use in any calendar month over
and above 54,75O kilowatt hours, the
rate of two cents per kilowatt hour.
eff the city will build a line to Dun
Mellon we shall be pleased to furnish
you current at two cents per kilowatt
hour, preferring to sell current at Dun
Mellon at two cents than to build and
ma intain a line to Ocala, believing that
the slightly higher rate we are max
ing in Ocala scarcely Offsets the ex-
penditures for line and maintenance.
"a comparison of our measurements
with your auditors findings indicates
| that the actual cost of power from
your steam plant for the last twelve
months was practically cents per
kilowatt hour, the items of deprecia-
/ tion and interest on the investment be-
ing altogether neglected. Since this is
the case, it seems to us needless to
point out the wisdom of purchasing
Offering.
! Unless this offer is acted upon in a
reasonable length of time, We reserve
| the privilege of withdrawing our pro-
posal. Yours truly,
| FLORIDA Power Company

PROBLEM
N ELECTRICITY
Opinion of the Superintendent Of the
Jacksonville Electric Light Plant
on the Proposition Made by
the Camps

Mr.. r. G. Camp, president OF the
Florida Power Company, which is Of
fering electricity to the city Of Ocala,
has given the Star permission to make
public 1he following correspondence,
which is just now OF prime interest to
our citizens.
"Ocala, Fla, July %. 1871
Mr.. n. Ellis, Jacksonville, Fla:
Dear sir-Enclosed herewith you
will find a copy of proposition
have made the city of Ocala.
I'm order that we may serve the city
at the rate named, it is necessary for
US to build a line twenty-five miles
long, for $1,000 volts and erect a sub
station. 1t is estimated that the line
and sub-station will cost $4,000. The
city at present has an average load Of
fifty K w. for the year. At
the present moment it is only 43 K. w
for the "a hours. In winter the peak
load amounts to about 800 K. w. and
as l have said the average is only fifty.
The city is now burning twelve cords
Of woods for each day of "a hours and
turning out with this amount 1882 K
W. hours. They have simple engine
and cannot run condensing, as they
city can reduce the cost of power un-
less they install a gas producer plant,
and l believe then it would cost them
more than if they bought power from
US OF course you must consider the
interest and depreciation on gas pro-
ducer plant, which as you know is
very high. You have to consider their
peak load and low average load.
noticed in your office while there that
your peak load is only two and a half
times your average, whereas Ocala's is
six times the average in winter.
Taking into consideration the figures
which 1 have given you, and the en-
closed proposition made to the city. l
would like to have a frank and candid
statement from you, as to your opin-
ion of the fairness of it and would like
to know if you consider it a good one.
am asking you this because some of
the members are reciting what you
are doing and l don't think 1t fair to
us to compare Jacksonville with Ocala
Don't hesitate to express yourself. as
don't want the business unless l can
get it on terms fair to the city as we'll
as myself.
Thanking you in advance for a
prompt reply, 1 am,
yours truly,
FLORIDA Power Company"

What 1t Means to
Join One of These
Cooperative
Piano Clubs

These piano clubs are in effect, the
application of wholesale principles to
the retail department.
1t is based on community of interest,
on collective or cooperative buying.
It's just as though $50 people Joined
and then sent to the factories to do the
buying one man capable of selecting the
best pianos and secul ing the best prices,
and knowing how best to ship them.
Naturally there would be tremend-
GUS saving between purchasing 26 car
loads in one lot and buying each piano
singly. Hence the organization Of these
Eilers Piano clubs.
Under our supervision these clubs
place you in exactly the position to- re-
ceive the advantages obtained by the
largest dealers.
On our club plan you pay but one,
and that very small profit. The mid
dleman and all intermediate expenses
are eliminated.
In these clubs members are not re-
stricted in their choice to one obscure
make, but, to the contrary, each mem
Der decides between over a dozen of the
worlds standard and most favorably
known makes Of pianos.
1t should be remembered, too, that
each and every plano is strictly brand
new-the very latest style and fully
guaranteed both as to quality, material
and value.
ARE NOT THESE ASTOUNDING
FIGURES?
Shipped In the old-fashioned way over
AZ carloads of pianos would be required
in this undertaking. Shipped under the
Eilers harness system Gin special cars
without boxes) even then 26 cars will
be required.
Placed end to end, these $50 pianos
would reach from the city hall to the
court house and hack again.
The retail value of these pianos is
nearly one quarter of million dollars
-$244,500, to be exact.
In purchasing these $40 pianos on
this club plan, members save over one
third of the price, or $SS,460.
Club members each secure an aver
age of 112 weeks longer time In which
to pay for piano than IL each member
bought individually upon the usual
terms of payment
Each Of the $40 club members saves
an average of 1852 on his or her pur-
chase, more than enough money for a
round trip to New York and return and
more than enough money to completely
educate any young man or young lady
in music so as to qualify him or her
as an instructor, at least for beginner
In music.

The Advantage of
Buying Of Eilers
Music Store

We will sell nothing that we know is
not right. When we sell to you it is
with the knowledge and belief that If
we satisfy you, you will influence your
friends to deal with us.
We have utilized every modern
economy in order that we. might give
better value and better satisfaction to
our patrons. Buying and shipping In
tremendous quantities. factory inspec-
ton of pianos by our expert represen-
tatives, binding guarantee with every
piano sold, corps of expert tuners and
regulators these have contributed
toward making the big following we now
have and making our business what it
now Is.
AS the piano purchaser knows the ad-
vantages in buying from the Eilers
stores, so the manufacturer realizes the
advantage in selling through the Eilers
stores. No three piano stores in any
large city, combined, can offer the piano
purchaser more variety and merit In
piano manufacture than we do.
From Americas oldest and best-the
grand old Chickering-to the genuine
autopiano-the lates. creation-there is
scarcely name we'll and favorably
known in the piano trade that does not
find representation in the Eilers stores
The Sohmer, the favorite of the most ap-
preciative musicians; the world renown-
ed Kimball; the rich-toned and durable
Lester; that aristocrat of pianos, the
genuine old Decker; the old reliable
Schumann; the Marshall &c Wendell, and
the Story G. Clark. Ali these, and many
others, are significant guarantees of pi-
ano excellence.
To secure piano through these CO.
operative clubs means to have the serv.
ice of piano experts in making the Sc
lections for you-it means a guarantee
which insures you against disappoint-
ment in any way and, best of all, 1t
means that on a plan of payment SO
wonderfully easy that no one ever will
miss the money, you are enabled to Sc
cure a high-grade piano for the money
that would otherwise be paid for very
inferior instrument.
