FLORIDA CITRUS FRUITS
Packed by the Exchange to be
Advertised in the East.

The Board of Directors of the Flori.
da Citrus Exchange will meet early in
August TO perfect arrangements for an
advertising campaign which will be
waged all during the season in the
East Plans are about perfected for the
campaign which will create a demand
for the fruit packed under the auspices
OF the Exchange, and it is expected will
cause this fruit to be sold for twenty
five TO fifty cents over the prices paid
for fruit from independent shippers.
For the past two years, since the Ex-
change began operations the fruit of its
pack has gradually gained the conf.
dence OF the iobberS, and now the plan
is TO gain the same confidence from the
consumer.
When this is consummated the Ex-
change will have calls for its fruit in ex-
cess OF the contracts now in existence,
and with the high prices received those
outside OF the Exchange will rush 10 get
on the band wagon.
And this is as ii should be. If all the
fruit in Florida was under the control of
one head, engineering the packing and
the marketing, the Florida grower
would begin 10 see light.

controls the fruit of that state, and pros

THE NEED OF FACTORIES.

Gen. E. NJ. Law, the editor of the
Barlow Courier Informant, in an able
editorial urging the need of factories for
his town, points TO the success of Palat-
ka in the following language:
"Palatka has bucket and tub factory
which employs thirty-five or forty hands
and its output is said TO find ready sale
at remunerative prices. Besides this, it
has a box and crate factory, shingle
mills and perhaps other industries OF
like character OF which we have not
heard, but these are enough TO account
for the present steady growth of place
which not many years ago had many of
the indications of "A finished town.
The example of this one small Florida
city is cited here TO illustrate what may
be done right here in Barlow by the
opening up of new lines of industry

small they may be-which will attract
men who are willing TO work, thus ad-
ding the wages of profitable labor TO the
value of the raw material, which is so
abundant all about US and keeping the
wealth thus produced, at home, as
means of still further development and
still greater prosperity.
Immigrants are pouring into Florida
as never before in its history, but they
can't all be farmers, fruit growers, mer
chants and professional men; manufac.
turers must be able to find a place here
also, and those towns and cities that
take the lead in the establishment of
factories, however small the beginnings
