BOUGHT ANOTHER
BIG BUSINESS
The Roess Lumber Company Has Es-
tabIished It's Footing in Tampa
CTampa Tribune. Feb. p

Announcement was made yesterday
that a deal had been closed Friday
night whereby the Roess Lumber Co,
of Oca1a, has acquired the local whole
sale lumber business of the Gillett
Lumber & Transportation Co, of this
city, together with the good viii of
same and the orders now on hand for
future delivery within the state of
Florida. The deal is said to make the
Roess Lumber Co. beyond a doubt the
largest wholesale yellow pine lumber
distributor in Florida to the local
trade
The local offices of the Roess Lum-
Der Co. viii be in the American Ma
tional Bank building next to those of
the Gillett Lumber & Transportation
Co, and win be in charge OF D. U. Nc
Ginnis, local manager. The head
quarters of the Roess Lumber Co. will,
however, remain in Ocala.
The deal which was consummated
Friday night does not mean that the
Gillett Lumber & Transportation Co.
is going out of business, as the firm
will continue its extensive business as
an exporter of rough lumber to the
island of Cuba and other places. The
Gi1lett Lumber & Transportation Co.
ceases business only insofar as the
local wholesale business with various
lumber yards is concerned, the mem
bers of the Gillett Company agreeing
not to re-enter this field, leaving it
clear TO the Roess Lumber Company
Up to three years ago the Gillett
Lumber & Transportation Co. was en-
gagged solely in the business of export
ing rough lumber from this port, but
about that time there was a sudden
impetus in local building operations,
which induced the company TO also en-
ter into the wholesale lumber business
for the local trade through various
local lumber yards. This business has
been very profitable and has been on a
steady increase The principal compe-
titor of the Gillett Lumber & Trans
portation Co. in this field has been the
Roess Lumber Company. The deal
consummated between the two COM
panies is practically a consolidation of
the local wholesale business of the
Tampa firm with that of the Roess
Company. and puts the Gi1lett Com
pany back in the same field 1t was en-
gagged in three years ago

A representative of the Merchants

Credit Experience Guide, which agen-

lar way, has been here several days
working up interest in a local assoc
citation.
BY this system all individuals. as

ing at how many places they deal, what
amount OF credit they obtain, and how
they pay each firm with which they
have had credit dealings, and are ac-
cordingIy rated prompt pay fair pay,
slow pay and no pay
Persons who pay one or two mer-
chants In order to use them as a ref
erence to get credit from others, and
then neglect to pay them, form the
class that Is largely responsible for
the losses in the business world The
aim of the system is to show such
persons in their true light, thus max

and thus reducing the losses in extend

They are many people who are not
Intentionally slow in paying their ac-
counts, but are neglectful, and when
they understand that they must be

best rating possible, and will be more

lished in the greater portion of the
United States.
In many states every hamlet in the

both debtor and creditor.
Supplements to the Credit Experience
Guide are issued every sixty days in
the form of a secretary report, keep
ing the rating book constantly up to

The local association will have

members can turn over their delinquent
accounts, and have the association
make collections for them if they so

Within few weeks the paying pro-

A MUcH-NEEDED MEASURE
Senator Bryan Peparfng a Bill that
VIII Level the Inequalities of the
Present Primary Law
cchas. E. Jones in Dixie

Senator Nathan P. Bryan is prepar-
ing a new primary bill for the next
Florida legislature by which the many
defects in the system in Florida will
be cured. He has given the matter
great deal Of attention and his bill
viii not only enable poor man to run
for office, but there is a provision in It
which will prevent republicans from
participating in democratic primary.
Fully four thousand republicans in
Florida participate in democratic
primary, and a provision forcing an
Acknowledgement from each eIector as
to what party he belongs to. and max
ing out a list of democrats only for
democratic primaries on the same date
viii correct this.
Too many primary bills, and too
many amendments have prevented the
people from getting just what is de-
sired. Senator Bryan has been giving
his attention to the best system and
hopes to prepare measure which win
give Florida the best primary system
in this country.
Senator Bryan proposes to be pres
ent in person during the next session
of the legislature in the interest of this
primary BILL and he can perform a
great service for the people in general
and the democratic party in particular
in giving a. primary law that will
eradicate the present evils and ona
which will be just and equitable to all.
/ discussed the proposed bill brief
ly with Senator Bryan and therefore 1
am not familiar with its various pro-
visions. l hope, however. and expect
that the bill will do away with the
tnh % 10,
counter in every contest. The cheap
grafters may object to restrictions
which put them beyond the reach of
the dough bag. but the time has arriv-
ed in Florida when men must no longer
be compelled to cough up" at the call
of the CRATER.
I hope Senator Bryan will soon COM
plete his bill and that it will be given
widespread publicity. If it is all that
is hoped for it, then Florida's repre-
sentatives should get back of it and
pass it without crippling 1t. The pri-
mary system has enemies who will
work against any honest effort that
Will be of benefit to the people-these
are men who trail in the wake of those
seeking special privilege-men who
would destroy the system-men who
If they must run the gauntlet of a
democratic primary, prefer to do it
through the Doodle Route and with
the participation of traitors and liars
who enter the primary while antago-
nistic TO the principles of the party.
l hope my friends in the newspaper
fraternity will see the Importance of a
new primary law, and that they will
carefully read Senator Bryan's bill as
soon as it is prepared.
