Mulat As a Winter Resort.
Is the Goal of Sim Otis

house, where, besides serving meals,
he has a few rooms for the accom-
mediation Of guests. AS the limited
accommodations did not meet the de-
mand, he is opening quarters on a
more extensive scale. Captain Wilde
and his wife are experienced in ca
tering to the public, and have al
ready an eight-room house near the
ferry, furnished and partly occupied
by travellers. Other houses will be
furnished as they are needed.
1t is estimated that there is over
100 miles of coast line within two
miles of Mulat, which is situated
right in a nest Of water-bayous,
creeks, bay lines, etc.-where one can
find any kind of fishing he wants.
Ample boat service is being pro-
vided, so that tourists may with swift
motor boats travel many miles, ex-
ploring unfrequented hooks in the
rivers and lakes, Turing the sportive
speckled trout, hunting ducks, snipes,
and alligators; or, if he Is 30 disposed,
searching for the pirate gold, lots
of which, tradition says, has been
buried years ago along our bay coast.
Captain Otis, preparing for this
new development Of Mulat, is arrang-
ing to better equip his big ferry boat,
THE Missing Link which will soon
have steam installed instead of gaso-
line. His plans also contemplate the
building Of another boat In the near
future, with still larger capacities, so
that he will be enabled to operate a
passenger service from Pensacola to
Mulat, for he conceives the idea that
such an enterprise would be appre-
ciated by Pensacola people in the
summer, who for. small fare could
get long salt water trip and at the
same time be able to spend delight
full day in the tall pine woods of
Santa Rosa in picnicking, fishing and
other recreations.

Special to The Journal

Mulat, Fla, Nov. 17.-With Capt
Frank Wilde, formerly of Pensacola
and his wife as coach, Capt S. Otis
intends to develop Mulat into win
ter resort.
Captain Wilde has moved carload
of furniture over from Pensacola and
is busily installing it into houses for
merly used by Captain Otis as saw
mill quarters when he operated big
saw mill here. These houses, some
of them used by his superintendent
and managers, are well built and
quite suitable for winter occupancy.
Captain Otis, as the demand requires,
is overhauling them and making them
very attractive for the present pur-
pose.
"The Quarters as these little cot
people, are all snugly nestled right
along the shores Of Escambia bay and
Mulatte Bayou and are shaded by
groves of live oaks along the bay.
These oaks add to the attractiveness
of the place as a resort. They ex-
tend right down to the edge Of clear,
delightful salt water, where all man.
ner of boating is convenient and
where fishing is abundant and will
be a factor in the development of
"Otis Oaks" as a winter resort.
Captain Otis has long cherished the
idea, but says: "It's mighty hard to
wean a saw mill man away from his
business. I'd be saving logs today
but for the scarcity of labor. So
am going to: utilize my grounds and
cottages for another purpose. l be-
lieve out Of every ten men with their
families who come south for the win
ter half of them are more disposed to
the quietude Of the country rather
than the attractions of the city. Many
Of our visitors during the winter
months are from the cities, and GER
tainly would enjoy the fishing and
hunting and simplicities of little
quiet country hamlet like Mulat."
The project developed from a de-
mand for accommodations by patrons
Of the Mulat ferry, many Of whom
wished to spend the night here. This
prompted Captain Otis to open road

by a recovery Of Fl to 81 points at

Light Trucks Add to
Profits of Gardeners

Foresight and far-sightedness are
both shown by Charles +. Seabrook,
of Bridgetown, n. j., whose truck
farms are the wonder of the country
and the delight of all who visit them.
The largest truck garden in the
United States is built up around the
word speed" for on rapidity of
transportation depends much of Mr..
Seabrook's profits. His experience
shows the place of the light truck
such as a Smith Form-a-T Truck on
the modern farm.
Indicative of Mr.. Seabrook's be-
lief in the efficacy of trucks is his in
stallation of q system which is based
about motor trucks. These carry his
perishable articles from the farms
to the railway station, few miles
away. At the other end of the line,
in New York, he has other trucks
waiting, to rush the vegetables to
the large distributing places in
quickest possible time, for a few
hours mean the difference between
an exceptionally large price for Sea-
brook products and ordinary profit.
These farms and the genius who
brought them from common New
Jersey place" to the best of their
kind, were featured in a national
weekly, recently and especial en-
phasis was placed on the fact that
reliance was placed in the trucks to
assure speed and to insure profits.
Space is given in one of the
monthly publications of the Smith
Motor Truck Corporation, manufac-
turers of the Smith Form-a-Truck,
to the Seabrook farms and the re-
suit which attended the motorization
of its equipment.

Use Of Combination
Bodies on Motor Trucks

These are the days when motor
trucks are coming into their own
the time when efficient delivery was
merely a convenience has passed, 1t
is an absolute necessity for the busi-
ness that will keep it's place during
the next few years.
The motor truck manufacturers
of the country are doing everything
in their power to spread the gospel
OF greater efficiency in the Use of
trucks. One of the big steps along
these lines is the development of
different combination bodies that
adapt a single chassis to several diff
ferent kinds of work
One of the big textiles mills of the
country, located near Philadelphia.
has by very simple device made
one truck chassis do all their work.
An Autocar fitted with hand dump
body hauls all the coal for the plant
in the early mornings, and then by
replacing the sides of the body with
stakes, hauls raw materials and fin
ished goods for the rest of the day.
Now is the time to figure out ev-
cry item of saving; whether a motor
truck can be made to efficiently per-
form more service than ever. the
gamer is the individual business and
the whole country, too.

Motorists lean to
Roadsters, Says Oll;er

There is probably not another
automobile in the country to-day
which is as adaptable to the use of
physicians and statesmen of CONNER
cial houses. public utilities and man
ufacturers as the roadster" says l..
]. Ollier, vice-president and director
of sales of the Studebaker corpora
ton. And, after a careful check of
our sales records. 1 feel safe in say
ing there is probably not another
roadster in as general use among
these classes of professional and bus
inessmen as the Studebaker.
The roadster Is the ideai car for
the doctor who must answer calls at
any hour of the day or night. 1t is al
ways ready for service and, on an
errand of mercy where speed and
performances cosnt for so much, the
doctors car must be dependable.
Every part of the Studebaker road
ster is so easy to get at that we have
found theaverage owner thoroughly
competent to take care of Ii.
"A big institution of any standing
nowadays sends representatives TO its
clients of whom they are proud and
II must have motorcar equipment on
which 1t can depend. And the road
ster Is bound to increase efficiency
because 1t enables each man to cover
wider territory. see more customers
and turn in more business.
Il have in mind an instance which
proves the value of the roadster for
business purposes. One of this coun-
try's largest public service corpora
uons, after an exhaustive test of sew
eral makes of cars, extending over a
period OF three years, has installed
a fleet of thirty-five Studebakers be-
cause Its figures proved that Stude-
baker cars actually cost less to oper-
rate and maintain than any other
make or car. In addition to the ac-
tual saving of money, they standard
lied their equipment throughout and
gave their representatives motorcars
so handsome and dignified in appear
ance that the added prestige to the
house was of inestimable value.
The roadster gives the salesman
his big opportunity to beat his own
sales records. 1t enables him to close
more sales because he can cover q
wider territory. and see more custo-

can take care of it himself, and un-
der the rear deck of the Studebaker
he has plenty of room for his sample
cases, personal baggage, etc. Bad
streets, steep hills or bad weather are
no obstacle to his car-and he does
not have to depend upon street cars,
railroad trains or taXicabs to keep
his appointments.
The beautiful, refined and digni-
fed lines of the Studebaker roadster
make it popular among women who
drive. 1t is so easy to handle and
operate, in crowded city traffic or on
the open country road. that any
member of the family feels perfectly
safe behind the wheel. For the man
who has no real business reason for
owning roadster, but just wants to
get out-of-doors and over the roads
without too many passengers along,
he finds the roadster his ideal car.
"On September Is we have an
nounced an increase in the prices of
all Studebaker roadsters. The -Four
will be advanced in price from 1885
TO S1,025, and the six" from $3.50
to S13S5"
