MR.. ,MuNSEYS TRIBUTE
TO FLORIDA

L. n. Cammack, in his book, "What
About Florida?" quotes Frank A
Munsey, the millionaire magazine
publisher. as follows: Men are now
finding gold in Florida-not In mines
but in the forests. farms, fisherles
and factories. Not all the gold that
was found in Nevada and Arizona
last year would equal the wealth that
went to Florida for her fruits and
vegetables, nor would the total out
put of Alaskan mines be enough to
buy the cigars of Tampa and Key
West There are enough gold or
anges and grapefruit in her groves
this winter to pay back the price
five million dollars-that the United
States paid to Spain for the terri
tory. and the lumber that Floridians
shipped from five seaports in one
year was sold for ten million dol

Chamber OF Commerce
:: Notes ::

The man who knocks the Chamber
Of Commerce is usually one who has
no real understanding of its work
and purpose, who has attended very
few. if any. meetings. Before man
proclaims so loudly what the Cham
ber is or is not doing, inquire of the
officers what is being done. You are
welcome anytime. Isn't this the fair
way.
The directors meetings in the past
year have been attended by so per
cent. of the number. They are better
men than those who are shifting
around making light of the work
they are doing.

lars" Mr. Munsey's glowing tribute
to the resources of Florida is not the
gush of some enchanted visitor,
with only a superficial knowledge of
the State. 1t is the analysis by a
keen commercially trained brain,
thoroughly acquainted with Florida's
production along agricultural and in
dustria lines. II is not exaggerated,
but rather conservative, Florida's
citrus fruit crop was estimated at a

vanne of seventeen million dollars
this winter. With no interest IN
Florida, further than the pleasure he
derives from his winter visits to tbs
State. Mr.. Munsey sees vast possibl
tiles for the future. A statement
from Mr.. Munsey carries weight and
will impress millions of people with
the fact that Florida has stable, Der
manent and Highly profitable indus

WHY SOME TOWNS GROW

The reasCns why scme towns grow,
says some student of civic progress,
is because there are men of push and
energy in them VINO are not afraid to
spend time and money to boost their
town. They erect good buildings, or
sanize stock companies and establish
factories. secure railroads, work for
public improvements and use every
reans in their power to induce peo-
pie to locate in their city Wherever
they go they tell the advantages Of
their cities. they write about them in
every letter, they send circulars and
newspapers to all whom they think
they can get to visit their city, and
when any one visits them treat him
so kindly that he falls in love with
them and their city at once.
1t is enterprise and every one
pulling together that makes a pro
eressive town. and don't let the fact
escape your memory.
