BE, Avery & Sons Go
Phoenix One Better

The true value OF perfect work
ing organization was most aptly il
Illustrated bY the recent destruction
by fire of the building occupied by
B. F. Avery & Sons and their ability
to promptly fill all orders they had
on hand without delay to their
patrons.
Almost before the ruins of the
building had cooled off, their factory,
In response 20 a thousand word tele-
gram, had over four cars of plows,
farming implements. etc, on their
way to Atlanta. Mr. Liebelman, the
Southern manager of the company,
states that he is more than gratified
over their ability to meet the de-
mandS of their customers in spite of
the fire, and also adds that he is
rather impressed with the unlucky
qualities of any date or group of
numbers that has a '13" in it, and
trusts Avery & Sons have experienced
their last loss by fire. He states that
inasmuch as he now believes blindly
in '13's" as an evil combination of
figures, that it might be we'll to ex-
plain that the fire occurred on Janu-
airy IS.
The company has temporary offices
in the Hurt Building, and will be glad
is see their friends during Merchants
Week.

the work that his organization has
been doing in building a successful
business and was gratif1ed with re-
suits. he thought a large amount of
credit was due to the present excel

throughout this territory Mr.. Selcer
thinks that widespread business
prosperity and general good times
are near
Most Southern merchants have been
able to make very satisfactory collec-
tons on account of good crops and
high prices last fall, and they realize
hat the present open winter has
given the farmers an opportunity to
prepare fields and get In better con-
dttions for spring planting than they
have been in a number of years. This
in connection with the cheapness of
money, is making business extremely
good with manufacturing plants who
are dealing with merchants in this
territory.
Speaking of the baking business,
Mr.. Selcer stated that the past year
had exceeded all expectations of the
officers of this company, and that IN
January of this year the usual in
crease in business that comes in AprIl
and May is beginning to be realized.
Mr.. oelcer spoke with much feeling
and pride in the remarkable success
of the Chattanooga plant (Chatta-
nooga being his boyhood home) This
plant was opened on october %, AMI
in scarcely 80 days from the date of
its opening is operating at a profit.
The officers of the company are all
extending their hearty congratula-
tons to w. D. Sims, local manager,
upon this remarkable showing.

R. R. COMMISSIONERS
TO MEET IN PALATKA
Next Tuesday, July q, to
Consider Train Schedules.

The Florida Rail Road Commission
ers have sent notices to the railroads
interested and the people of the cit
les and towns along the lines of these
roads, that they will hold meeting
at the court house in this city next
Tuesday, July 21st, to consider the
question Of ordering new scheudle
for trains on the Florida Southern di-
vision of the A. C. L. R'y between this
city and Rochelle, best known locally
as the "Peavine."
Of course any new schedule will
have to be arranged so as to serve
in the making of connections with the
A. C. L., Seaboard, and Florida East
Coast. The purpose is to have two
trains a day between Palatka and Ro-
chelle.
One to leave here early in the
morning and to connect with train for
Ocala. This train would return here
at night, thus making possible trip
to Ocala and return the same day.
This is the proposed new train. =.
Another train over the "Peavine'
would under the proposed change,
leave Palatka in the evening. All
these changes are to be so arranged
as to connect with trains passing
junction points and terminals with the
main lines of the A. c. L., Seaboard
and Florida East Coast Railways:
T., Business men of Palataka have
long wanted better connections on the
'"Peavine." They want trains ar
ranged so that people living at towns
along this line can come to Palatka
and return home the same day. And
they want it so a Palatka business
man can go to Gainesville and Ocala
and return same day.
Will we get the change: That OF
course depends on the Railroad Com
missioners. And the Railroad Com
missioners' action depends on whether
the railroads interested are willing
to make the changee. The Florida
Railroad Commission has long been
regarded as body that moves, when
it moves at all, at the dictation of the
railroads.
