The Lewis Stock Co. opened their
engagement at the Auditorium last
night to a good sized house and
made an instantaneous hit. This
is without a doubt the best stock
company that has been here this
season, great feature being the
ten-piece orchestra. The opening
bill was College Chums, a three-act
comedy. Each and every member
in the cast were excellent and the
play went off with snap and vim as
did the fine vaudeville sreciaItics
between the acts This company
will be here at the Auditorium all
this week and deserve fine patron
ace.

WHAT AN AUTHORITY
HAS TO SAY ABOUT
OUR STRAWBERRIES

Inc editor of the Florida Grove,
recently made trip to Plant Cit,
10 write up the strawberry industry
there' AS a strawberry article is
not complete without reference tc
Lakeland, we take the following OK.
tracts from the interesting article:
Everybody has heard the saying
God could no doubt make a better
Derry than the strawberry, but God
never has. Who does not love this
delicious fruit? Time was in the
north when the berry was a luxury
only for the rich in the winter time
out the growers of Florida have
solved that to the satisfaction of
the consuming public, and for them
selves.
Somebody, sometime. discovered
mat there were certain kinds of
lands in Florida especially adapted
TO the culture of the strawberry,
and also that they could be pro
duced in the winter season, when
the rest of the country was under
ice and snow. There are several of
these favored districts in Florida
probably more than have been vet
developed but to date Plant CITY
and Lakeland, together with some
OF the neighboring communities,
lead in the production of very early
strawberries. /"
Speaking Of the sale of the fruit
he says:
At Lakeland the berries are sold
in a different manner. A man whoI
has been in the business there for
a number of years, and who,
through this series of years has
proven his business honesty, con-
tracts to pay certain price per-
box for every box offered him that
comes up to his standard to all
whom he has contracts with. This
price has ranged from rs to 2OI
cents in times past. Sometimes the
buyer has made money. sometimes
he claims to have lost, but he has
always fulfilled his contract regard
less. OF course, he gets a good price
for the early fruit, but sometimes
here is market slump that loses
lim money, but it can safely be said
hat for season after season the buy
n comes out all right on an average
price of is cents a box.
