STYLE
By George Fitch

STYLE Sty1e is something which looks so good this year that those who use it next year will be hopclessly out of date.
 It is a sort of bacillus which af- fli,ts clothes. furniture, houses. auto mobiles and the womanly form. When thing is stylish. it is beau tiful for a limited engagement. like an ancient actress with a talented press agent.
 style is the gas which causes the cost of living to soar. r. makes q great deal of the difference between a happy contented life on $12 a week and an unsuccessful effort to keep ahead of the wolf on $200 a month. A wcll-buiIt dining-room table will last for fifty years but the style gen orally wears off in four seasons. This is why a great many families arc growing fat off of golden oak tables which they have bought sec ond-hand. at great bargain from other families who have had to sac rifice said tables in order to make the first payment on new table with a darker complexion and 1915 model legs.
 When a moth gets into a closet and raises a happy family in a fan mel skirt the housewife shouts with despair and tries to call out the militia Yet twice a year a new
 style gets into the show windows of the land and ruins $10O.00G. GOO worth of perfectly good clothes-and noIooy complains much.
 Even women cannot he continuous lv beautiful because of styles. To day the thin woman may be will lowy dream of grace, but next year the designers will hang a new variety of clothes on her and she will have to buy twenty three pounds of excel sior in order to bulge in the right places
 There are fifty-seven different lev els of style, each one of which is being attained with great effort by families which can't afford it. Those who are dcvoting their harassed lives to being st lish should remember that just as soon as they are rich enough 10 maintain themselves com fortably in Style No. 2. Style No. 3 will move around just out of reach in front of them and make them perfectly miserable until they get it.
 For this reason, American families should adopt Let Swell Enough Alone" apG live up to it. even though the family next door turns up it's noses so high that they can't shed rain.

Skinner CO..BUILDS
FOUNDRY At DUNEDIN

| Dunedin. May 1l~-Dunedin ma!
fairly claim to be the manufactur
Ing center of the West Coast o
Florida and its citizens are calling
the town "The Pittsburgh of the
Pinellas Peninsula"
The L. B. Skinner Manufacturing
Company has just completed a foun-
dry with capacity of $500 pounds
of castings per hour. This is one of
the largest foundries in Florida and
employs a considerable number of
expert moulders. All of the cast
ings used in the extensive line of
packing house machinery made by
this concern hereafter will be pro-
duced in its own foundry.
A few weeks ago the Skinner peo-
pie built warehouse with a floor
space of approximately 10000
square feet. This will greatly in
crease the capacity Of the plant by
rendering it possible to keep a num-
ber of packing house outfits on hand.
These can be made up in the dull
season for installation when there
is demand. The warehouse has a
capacity of about ten complete out
fits. One of it's features is a mon
orail system for handling of the ma
chinery between the erecting shop
and the warehouse and from the lat
ter to the loading platform.
Another innovation in the extern
sive factory operations of the Skin
ner Manufacturing Company is de-
partment for making brushes. Here
tofore, the large quantity of brushes
used in the packing house machinery
made by this house have been pro-
cured from other manufacturers.
this led to delays in de-
livery, as the supply of brushes
could not be obtained rapidly en-
ough to fill all orders. The quality
of the brushes now produced Is bet
ter than the average 1t was possible
to secure under the old plan.
The Skinner business has increas-
ed marvelously in the past year or
two. B. C. Skinner, the general
attributes this increase
to two factors-the pol
icy Of guaranteeing satisfaction and
liberal advertising. The Skinner
has been installed in by
far the greater portion of the citrus
packing houses equipped in the State
in the past year and an even greater
number of outfits could have been
sold had the factory capacity per-
mitted their production. With in
creased facilities made available, it
Is believed that every call for equip
ment can be met
