FACTS AND PHOTOS
Bright Work of Rooney Suggests,
Many Good Ideas to the
Metropolis Booster

Metropolis Booster
Mr.. J. d. Rooney, the secretary
of the Marion County Board of
Trade, Ocala, has just issued a beau
tiful booklet which he has allitera-
lively named Facts and Photos. :"
This has great deal of interest to
anyone interested in Florida, and
tells them all about Ocala and Mar
ion county-chiefiy Marion county.
1t is just such a document-in-evi-
dence as is worth while sending out
TO people who have thought of
coming to Florida, because it is COM
plete and condensed There isn't a
word too little, nor word too much
There are plenty of pictures, and
good pictures to prove every asser-
ton that has been made. or answer
every question that could be asked
Among other things is shown
very beautiful flock of fine chickens;
then a herd of fine cattle: herd of
pure bred hogs; some fine mules, and
then diaries, farm products, attract
i've farm houses, school houses, etc.
1t is booklet that shows. the
farmer who has been living in the
older states that in Florida he can
grow all the things he has been
growing elsewhere, and that he can
get more of it, and better prices, and
that he can grow things all the year
in Florida, and many things that
cannot be grown elsewhere.
Facts and Photos is a most con-
elusive and convincing argument why
people should come to Florida. 1t de-
picts everything needful to make a
happy, prosperous, contented COM
munity.
That is the kind of advertising
that Florida needs. 1t is the kind of
advertising that will do the state
good and bring the right kind of peo-
pie here. 1t is interesting to the in
vestor and the partic-
ularly the homeseeker. 1t is the kind
of matter We want in the Booster
Edition which will reach 10000
Northern homes. We want every
practical suggestion, every good pic
ture and every wholesome fact that
can be gotten about Florida. We
want to make it the best argument
for Florida ever sent out, and we
want it TO be such a strong messen-
ger, so armed with facts and induce
ments, that it will perform its work.
and bring TO Florida thousands of
homeseekers, who will buy land and
cultivate crops, and help us make
Florida the greatest state in the In
ion.
This state has everything that any
state can boast, plus climate. plus
nearness to market, plus cheap lands
and countless opportunities, plus an
undeyeloped stage that opens every
avenue of prosperity to every man
with a desire to succeed and a de-
termination to do
We still need more names. We need
more suggestions. They must come
from you, Mr.. and Mrs. Floridian.
This is a part of your duty to your
state. Do your share and we shall
have the greatest influx of new peo-
pie that has ever come to the state in
single year. Send in your lists,
your pictures of prosperous Florida
and your suggestions-and do it now.

Metropolis.
