WHY Mr.. MccRoREY SELECTED
OCALA

Mr.. ]. c. McCrorey is one of the
successful merchants OF the country.
He got rich selling goods only for 5
and 10 cents. His stores are distrib-
uted in different cities and towns
throughout the United States, but in
making his selections of locations he
has exercised exceedingly fine judg-
ment and locates them only in COM
munities which he thinks are prosper
Gus and has a prosperous future, so in
selecting Ocala for the location of
one of these stores it is something to
be proud of; it is something to our
infinite credit.
The following letter to Mr.. Cham
bliss tells why Mr.. McCrory fell in
love with Ocala, and selected it for
one of his places of operations:
New York, n. Y, March %, 1912.
MY Dear Mr.. Chambliss:
and inquiry as to what first prompted
me TO locate a store in your city,
would say it is less than two years
since / first visited your county seat,
and l was much impressed for the
reason Of it being such a beautiful
town of wide streets, splendid homes,
good climate, good city and govern
ment buildings, good schools and
churches, all Of which attracted me.
But in order to get back of all this
and learn why Ocala was better in
many respects than lots of other Flor
ida towns, | took some trips into the
surrounding country (some of which,
as you know, were made at your sug-
gestion), in which way | soon found
out, to my full satisfaction, that the
surrounding lands are unusually pro-
ductive and entirely different from
other Florida lands; more body, more
substance, naturally adapted not only
to a great variety of vegetation and
fruit, but is different from most Of
Florida in that it will produce fields
of grain in paying quantities.
$50 after carefully summing up the
town and surroundings, | decided to
locate one of our branch and 10 cent
stores in Ocala, your county seat, be-
lieving it would not only be appreciat-
ed by the people, but according to the
rapid growth of own and county,
would soon prove to be profitable in
vestment.
Il was in Ocala again a few weeks
ago, and also again visited many 9TH
er places in Florida, among which
were the vicinities of Miami, st. Pc
tersburg, Daytona, Orlando, Lakeland,
West Palm Beach, Sanford, etc, and
am still of the same opinion that
Marion county, having many advan-
tages, has a great future.
THE soil in Marion county, to my
way OF thinking, is more productive
lin it's original state) than generally
found in Florida, and besides you
have right at home the ingredients so
necessary to still further enrich it,
as, for instance, unlimited quantities
of lime, phosphate, etc.
Il am inclined to think the people
of Ocala and vicinity hardly appreci-
ate just what they have got and how
very rich they really are, in variety
of fertile land of naturally product
i've character Good hard roads are
also an attractive advantage.
Il have full confidence in Ocala, its
adjacent lands and natural resources,
and for this reason alone did l have
branch store placed in your town.
Sincerely,
-. G. McCROREY."
