The Sebring White Way says: e.
E. Skipper has closed a contract
with the SebrIng Real Estate Co., for
the clearing and setting out OF two
hundred and forty acres to citrus
fruits. Something like a year ago
Mr.. Skipper wanted to put out one
hundred acres, but circumstances
arose that caused a change of plans,
which has resulted in his doubling
the first proposition and forty acres
besides.
This tract lies on the north sided
of the road from Sebring to Avon
Park extending from the Coast Line
railroad to Redwater Lake, being
one Of the finest tracts OF citrus
lands in Florida.
Mr.. Skipper has recently returned
from a trip North and East, includ-
ing Cincinnati, Baltimore and Phil
! adelphia. Speaking of the future he
was very optimistic. He expressed
it as his belief that the future of
sebring was especially bright. Bank
deposits are strong and increasing,
while the general business outlook is
all that could be desired.
Besides being interested in banks,
Mr. Skipper is among the leading
cattle kings of Florida He was on
his way to his ranch on the East

think will help you. Have you tried
drinking Chero-Cola? Get it real
cold, pour it in glass IL you have
one handy, hold II TO the light and
see the pure rich color Of it, shut
your eyes and try to imagine how
good it is, then drink it slowly and
you find 1t is better than you imag-
ined.
As a comAanion FOR the lonely,
Chero-cola can hardly be excelled.
But, IL after this, you do not feel
cheered up and in the notion of
living a while longer, you can get
your wife to come home. To do this,
you drink a few bottles of Chero-
Cola, then you write her a letter.
You will find that unconsciously
you will make your letter too cheer
full, suspieiously happy even. Don't
tell her you have been taking Chero-
Cola; she would understand then.
Just write down a few Chero-C Cola
thoughts and feelings, and let her
worry about. why you are no longer
so sad and so lonely, until she de-
cides to come home and find out.
Sorry l can't write to you right
