1t requires but few moments fig
uring with paper and pencil to show
that Tampa produces 63.6 per cent of
the internal revenue of the state of
Florida Just as she had for some time
produced more than 20 per cent Of
the customs duties of the state.
Other items than cigars figure in
the internal revenue, of course, beef
being an important product both here
and at Jacksonville, while Key West
has no brewery. The figures, however,
tend to prove again Tampa's pre-emi.
nent position in the cigar business.

FRELINCHUYSEN
AVENUE'SBOOM
New Factories Springing Up
and Old Ones Spread
ing Out.

The development of the manufac-
turing industry In and around New
ark in the last three years. has been
phenomenal. Not only the local
manufacturers have enlarged their
plants TO almost double the capacity
In a great many lines, but new enter
prises have come to Newark because
Newark is able to solve the labor
problem and also because of its
proximity to New York city.
Perhaps the greatest industrial
showing has been made along Ere
Iinghuvsen avenue. On the east side
of Frelinghuysen avenue IS the Penn
sylvania Railroad. This fact makes
shipments easy.
During the last year the Behr
Piano Company have put up IN Ere
linehuvsen avenue a building cover
ing $4,000 square feet The 0xweld
Manufacturing Company have erect
ed a building occupying $4,000 square
feet and are now building an al
ei.jolal extension. The Mundy hoist
ing engine will be manufactured on
FrelinEhuysen avenue in the early
fall The firms new building VIII
cover 10000 square feet.
Runkle Brothers, manufacturers,
now At the Bush terminal, Brooklyn,
are also 10 build here. The plans fer
their factory are well under way.
III addition to this, between the
MUndv plant and the Behr Piano
company. the Universal Brassiere
COMPANY contemplates the erection
of a building that will employ up
ward of 400 hands.
sroraars of twelve or fifteen other
large manufacturing interests locat-
ing in Newark have reached realty
operators in this branch.
The cause of the Newark influx OF
manufacturers is said to be due TO
New york efty's drastic measures in
rho enforcement of factory laws in
the present loft buildings, which are
not considered safe to the employees.

Can you please tell US what has

am sorry to tell you of the
death Of Mr.. Creed Harmon. On.
ly three months ago his wife died
and now he is called to be with

where no sorrow ever comes.

standing the fact the weather

did not keep Uncle Bill at the
age of 78 from helping the kids"
put things over. If any of the
readers want to spend the night
of their life. they should visit
this family.

sador, who was called to his re-
ward while at his post of duty.
Rev. W. D. Symington next

as leader of song and had the
young people well drilled in mu-
sic. The church at this time was
divided, a majority stayed with
the old church and employed DIR.
