directed efforts towards securing the
location in Lakeland of the head
quarters of the Florida Citrus Elk
change have been under way, but
publicity has not been given the mat
ter because it was not considered. ad-
visable heretofore. At the meeting
of the directors of the Exchange,
held in Tampa yesterday, the PROPOSE
item was presented in a communica-
ton from the Lakeland Chamber of
Commerce, and that 1t met with
marked favor is evidenced by the
following reference to the matter in
the Tampa Tribune:
"A communication was presented
from the Lakeland Chamber of Com
merce Offering to supply the Ex-
change quarters for it's Office free of
any charge for rent, in modern Oh
flee building to be erected shortly in
that city. 1t was requested by rep
resentative of the Polk county Sub
Exchange that the board give hear
ing to committee from the Lake
land trade body at it's next meeting
and this courtesy was decided upon.
In the discussion, there was devel-
oped. the fact that including rent,
there might be a saving of some $5,-
600 annually effected in the opera
tions of the Exchange by the removal
of the headquarters to Lakeland. At
ter the meeting adjourned, various
directors expressed themselves az
rather favorably disposed to the pro
posed removal, in view of the fact
that it would bring the. headquarters
nearer to the heart of the citrus in
dustry. Polk county ships nearly hal
of the fruit that is handled by thu

Lake, Marion and Orange COUNTIES

comparatively small amount Of citru
fruit comes from Hillsborough coun
ty, and Pasco, Pinellas and Manate
are not heavy shippers through tn
organization
The location of the headquarter
of the Exchange here would be
big feather in Lakeland's cap, an
add greatly to the volume of bust
ness and material interests of tn
city. The proposition is to furnis
the organization with office room
free in consideration Of the advan
tages accruing from the location Q
Il the Exchange in this city. Will
these offices have not been definitel
locatd, 1t is understood that the
will occupy a floor of new three

1t is believed, however, that even
without army instructors and Fed

successfully established and placed on
an excellent working basis BY the Off
