"No man can tell what the future
may bring forth and small opportu
mites are often the beginning of great
enterprises" said Demosthenes, ar
ancient philosopher, whom some will
remember as the orator who over.
came his suffering habit by filling
his mouth with pebbles and talked
above the moaning of the surf as ne
walked along the shore of the Greciar
sea.
Another wise suggestion from the
past, a saying registered among the
proverbs of Persia, and credited to
Zoroaster, who lived thousand years
B. c., founder of the religion of the
Parsees, was: "Do little things now
SO shall big things come to thee by
and by, asking to be DONE"
These were the thoughts that came
to US the other day as we examined a
glass of grapefruit marmalade
brought to the Board of Trade rooms,
by Hayworth & Son, who have just
started in a small way the manufac-
ture in this city of preserves and jel--
lies from Florida citrus fruits and
berries.
The Hayworths are of English birth
and the father at one time worked
for Cross & Blackwell, known the
world over for their fruit preserves,
and whose products are extensively
used in the United States. The Hay
worths know the art of preparing
these delicacies, and it is their
purpose to turn out goods worthy
of the name. English factories
import the greater part of their
material. Florida not only raises
the fruits but it is nearer the
source of sugar supply than England.
In fact it could make its own sugar
if it would only go at it.
Why is it not possible to establish
great fruit canning and preserving
works in Florida-where raw material
is wasted, tons upon tons, every year?
We believe it can be done.
We hope the dealers and consumers
of Palatka, and of Florida, when ap-
preached, as they will be, by sales
men of the Hayworths, will buy and
push the sale of their goods. Dur
ing the fiscal year of 1912 America
imported over $28,OOO,0OO worth Of
