The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1915-11-26

this year than ever before, the race!
have been spirited and interesting
and this feature has helped wonder
fully to draw the crowds.
BIG FURNITURE BUILDING
Messrs. McIver and MacKay, de-
serve a lot of credit for their great
display of goods from all departments
of their store. 1t represents a gooc
deal of work and responsibility tc
make the exhibit and helps out the
fair very much. Their big building
was well filled and attracted lots OF
attention.
WOMEN SHOWED BEAUTIFUL
WORK
The woman's building was over
flowing with pretty things. We will
not attempt to describe them at all
but pass on with the simple statement
that the building would scarcely dis
play the articles and the women of
the county have excelled all previous
efforts in their fine display of fancy
work of needle and brush and culinary
department as well. Also the canning
exhibits were most creditable and de-
serve a whole column of space
COLORED PEOPLE HELD THEIR
FNn IT'D
The negro building is filled with
exhibits of handiwork of women and
of the pupils of the public schools and
Fessenden Academy which, as here
tofore, made an exhibit that the race
may well be proud of. The exhibit
made by the colored people in preserv-
ed and canned goods is deserving of
much praise and their agricultural
displays, some made in this building
and others in the main agricultural
hall, are worthy of emulation.
EVERYTHING GOOD TO EAT
The refreshment booths and dining
rooms were all well conducted and
have been well patronized and the
ladies managing them are well pleas
ed with the financial results.
'THE GOOD TRUST"
The international Harvester Com
pany has fine exhibit of gasoline en-
gines, each of them attached to some
machine to show the actual results.
These engines, in charge of Mr.. Con-
nor and Mr.. Mathews, have been run
ming most of the time and attract
much attention.
SOME SPLENDID CARS
In the machinery and manufacture
ers building is the fine display of au-
tomobiles by three local dealers, with
capable demonstrators there to tell
of the good points of their several
cars.
IT WAS o. X.
Mr.. Harvey Clark of the o. K. Tea
pot Grocery, with Mrs. Clark to- as
sist him, has been right on the ground
since the fair opened and have enter
tanned thousands of visitors in the
prettily arranged booth where Royal
Scarlet goods prevail and Chase and
Sanborn's choice coffees and teas,
Stones cakes and other delicacies are
served to all who will partake. This
booth is fire advertisement for the
o. K. and its results will be far
reaching and not soon forgotten.
SOFT PHOSPHATE AND LIME
Next to the O.. K, having nothing
to eat and none of their goods to
show, DIR. R. T. Weaver and President
w. S. Hilands of the Florida Soft
Phosphate & Lime Co., gave out hun
dreds of their attractive pamphlets
telling of the merits of "Phoslime, y
the trade marked article of soil fer
tilizer soon to be put on the market,
and talked of the value of their pro-
duct on the soils of the land to all who
were interested. DIR. Weaver on the
first of the month will take up his
duties in Polk county as county DEM
onstrator, which position he was re-
Gently appointe dto fill.
This exhibit was to show the public
that the company is now ready for
business. The company is construct
ing its plant at Phoslime, Fla, near
Citra, on the Seaboard. The product,
sPhoslime," will be ready for ship
ment shortly after Jan. /, 1916. Many
orders have been booked for car load
lots as we'll as smaller quantities. As
the station Phoslime is now recogniz-
ed as an official freight stop by all
the railroad trainmen, soon the pro-
duct of the company will be known all
over the state. Aside from the fact
that the plant is a Florida industry,
the product will soon prove of great
value to the state as a builder of good
farms. Farmers realize the impor-
tance of getting phosphoric acid avail
able quickly and Phoslime being five
percent available at once when put on
the land and all contents available in
less than five years, gives the farmer
a greater start than by the use of
any other fertilizer.
