The poem which was read by Mayer
Ainslie. written by Secretary Rosendorf
with the shearsp follows:
Buy II New:
Say,
DO you remember when you were a Kid.
How they used TO tell you
About throwing a pebble into a pond.
And how 1t made ripple
That went on, and on. and on, and on
Until IT reached the distant shore.
Or something like that
And when you got big enough
You went to the minstrel show
And saw the end man
And the middle man
Show how a quarter Of a dollar
Paid off ten dollars worth OF debts
In about five minutes.
by passing from Tanbo to Bones
And from Bones to Rastus.
And from Rastus 10 Ephraim,
And from Ephrafm to LAtah.
And so on around the half circleT
And then. when you were sent up
To college,
The high-hro professor
Tried to explain the same thinge
You remember
Well
This is no talk on political economy
Or anything like that;
It's Just a gentle hint
To the effect that right rAw
Is a good time for you
To start a little ripple OF your ewn.
A good time
To start your dollars
Moving around the circle
Pay off your debts,
Buy what you need
And buy II now.
Get things started,
Put money In circulation;
That's good sense,
And patriotism,
And good business.
Every ripple IN the pond,
No matter how small,
Helps break the stagnation
Get busy
And make a splash
Buy IL now
And get your money back.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT
Fausett's New Store Building on West
Exposition Street

Everybody in Ocala, and most folks
in Marion county, are familiar with
the long, low wooden building out on
Exposition street, between Mr.. H. A.
Fausett's residence and the o. & S.
". railway.
1t is a rather unpretentious build
ing, but it is probable that more solid
business has been done inside its
walls in the last twenty years than
any other structure of its size in Mar
ion county.
1t is, or was, Fausett's store, where
Mr.. Fausett, by good goods, fair
dealing and personal interest in his
customers, has carried on trade that
defed freezes. panics and war.
But the old store is shut now, and
the business has gone across the
street to the fine, new concrete block
that Mr.. Fausett has been erecting
for some time, and moved his goods
into a few days ago.
The new building is an ornament to
its part of the town. It is built of
concrete on a cement foundation, two
stories high and another can be add
ed. 1t has a handsome glass front,
with wide metal awning across the
sidewalk. 1t looks good, and if the
Fausetts do as much business in it in
proportion as they have done in the
old store, they will be able to take a
trip to Europe when the war ends.
The main store room on the first
floor is 40x80 feet. Mr.. Fausett put
the goods from the other store in this
ample space, and they seem lost, but
he is ordering others, and when all
his commodities and fixtures are in
he will have as well-filled and well
fitted a mercantile establishment as
there is in the city.
Mr.. Fausett is preparing to build
an addition 16x80 feet the entire
length of the building in the rear
Here he will store his grain and feed
and set up handy grist mill; also a
rice mill, and will be able 70 do al
most anything his multitudinous far
mer friends want done.
The upper story of the building is
a spacious, well-lighted and ventilated
room, for which Mr.. Fausett will soor
find use. He may rent it for cigar
factory, or set up one of his own.
Two of the Star men called on Mr.
and Mrs. Fausett this morning, anc
found them very busy and cheerful il
their new quarters. Their friends al
over town hope their prosperity vii
increase in proportion to their hand
