INDUSTRYS 100
PERCENT GROWTH
IN THREE YEARS

An industry whose hundred per
cent increase in the past three years
is illustrative of the growth of PEN
sacola, is the Gulf Cup and Still
Company, the only one of its kind
in this part of Florida, It's nearest
competitor being in Jacksonville.
1t is a partnership between J. o.
Walker and w. S. Garfield, who
bought out Mr.. Baker three years
ago. Since then a new plant has
been erected, consisting of the fac
tory proper, 30x150 feet, and the
copper shop, 90x100 feet. ,7he plant
is located at Romano and Tenth, and
employs from 20 to Is men. The
weekly pay roll amounts to $3.50.
The plant manufactures aprons
cups, cutters and stills--in fact, it is
the headquarters for everything the
turpentine operator needs except
groceries. Last year it used 25 car
loads of iron sheeting. From this
the cups, aprons, etc., are made with
one stamp. The plant capacity day
is a to 5 cups and 8 crops of aprons
A crop is 10000. AS the cups are
used more than once, it is in the

is possible that thousands of men
now in the trenches are by this time
enjoying the use of the weed sent
through this port.
The manner of its shipment is in
huge hogsheads, weighing nearly 800
pounds generally, although lighter
packages have been noted going into
the steamers. Tobacco loading is an
art, for a hogshead, shaped like a
huge barrel, takes up an extensive
lot of room in ships hold. Unlike
cotton, the great containers cannot
be squeezed into a smaller space than
they occupy when in the warehouse

EICTTATr is GREAT SPORT IN WEST
IlOllllVU FLORIDA WATERS & =

1000 tons of red snapper are handled
here in a year, the markets of the
country being furnished in large
measure from Pensacola.
Blue fish and mackerel are also
found here in marketable quantities,
tons of them being caught at GER
tain seasons Of the year in nets.
These are choice fish, and find ready
sale in the local market Although
taken by the beach fishermen in nets,
they take hook quite readily, and
make fine sport. They are caught
both inside and outside the harbor.
Another fine fish taken here, posi-
bly, twice year, is the pompano. It
is not hard to find local epicureans
who will readily say that pompano is
quite the finest fish in the world.
Fish All the Year.
AIl-the- year round fish, however,
are the mullet, black snapper, sheep
head, red fish different from the red
snapper), trout and other species.
Mullet are an easily fooled fish. A
pinch of cotton on a hook will be
nabbed by them almost as quickly as
an edible bait. It is said that this
condition prevails because of the
great schools of muf1et which eat
everything digestible which they
come across. A good bait, however,
is bit of dough, a bit of banana, or
the like.
Several varieties of speckled trout
abound in local waters and are to be
taken all the year around. These
trout in varying sizes may be taken
with hook and line Prom any of the
city docks, and they are fine fish for
eating. One place where they may
be caught, and where the larger ones
are found, is in the Escambia, the
fishermen focking to Escambia tres
tie in large numbers. At that point
also the red fish may be taken, and
the past summer one which weighed
II pounds was hooked, and many en-
joyed a great chowder made from
this rather large member of the red
| fish tribe.
Fresh Water, Too.
In the upper waters, or in the
Blackwater, are to be found an in
exhaustible supply of trout and
Dream, and for a day of sport moth

Taken as whole, waters adjacent

"On to the Gulf Beach" !, 11 s.l s'ss,,

"on to the Gulf Beach" has become
the byword of Constructive Pensa-
cola and the force and energy with
which the road connecting the mag
nifcent resort Of the future and the
city is being built augurs well for
the undertaking.
The road itself is somehow SYM
bolic of the attitude of the people of
the city toward the great enterprise.
and its permanency of construction
shows the faith that is held in the
future of the city as a summer and
, winter playground for America.
Already it is well under way, anil
d rapidly nearing completion. Each
day sees a notable advance toward
the goal on the outer beach, where
the Mexican Gulf seems to beckon
on the workers, and Pensacola, and
everybody, to come where the lagoon
and surf meet; along narrow sand
spit, unrivalled in its beauty.
The work is notable from a con-
structive standpoint, because the diff.
fculties which have been overcome,
bringing the highway to the beach.
Running as it does through gently
rolling country, bordered by far
flung arms of the bayou, low, marshy
land proved an impediment in the
way of the road, yet the promoters
with competent engineers have car
ried the right of way through to its
terminus with great success.
The Road to the Lagoon blazed the
way to a new asset of Pensacola, and
in doing so, brought into operation
modern ideas of construction, and
dared experiment with road building
materials. In all of these it has met
with the same degree of success, and
when the boulevard is finally com
plete and the resort developed, it will
be with interest that the trial of ma
terial is looked back upon.
For blue mari, of which the road
is built, has not been used generally
on other roads of the county, and il
remained for the pioneers of the big
ger movement for the development OF
Pensacola, to put into use material
which has hitherto gone to waste.
That part Of the road which is com.
pIete attests the value of the mate.
rial, and more than that, opens fol
other uses product which has beer
neglected. The mari when packed
tight and rolled hard, affords an al
most concrete surface to the road
and when thoroughly dry is almos
impervious to water.
Aside from being means. to al

When looking at crews of vessels
unloading large catches of very large
red snappers at the different whole
sale houses along the waterfront, it
probably does not occur to the aver
age person that there are upward of
200 species of fish to ne taken in the
waters Immediately adjacent to the
city of Pensacola. Such, however, is
the case, but the great red snapper
is possibly the most famous.
Tarpon At Our Front Door.
Tourists connect the mention of
Florida with the splendid, gamey tar
pom, but invariably seek this fish on
the east coast. If possibly isn't gen.
orally known that tarpon, at certain
seasons, is to be had in any quantity,
right in Pensacola bay, and this
truth is substantiated with little in
vestigation. Fishermen have been
known to quite recently haul these
great beauties from deep water off
the navy yard, and they are caught
only after game fight. 1t is said
that fishermen go for weeks without
single strike of a tarpon on the
east coast, while 100 pounds of such
fish are easily taken, of course in
season, at the navy yard Tarpor
fishing, however, is a sport not gen.
orally INDUCED in here.
1000 Tons of Red Snapper.
AS stated, the red snapper is the
chief fish handled for the trade in
Pensacola. These are caught in large
quantities across the bar of Cam
peache, but for days sport, nothing
is more exciting than to engage one
of the knowing launch men in the
city and go after the festive red
snapper. They are to be had in large
quantities few miles in the gulf OF
Mexico, although trips are made only
when this beautiful body of water is
not boisterous, especially when d
small boat is employed. Possibly

aprons that the capacity is deter

sidelight on the turpentine industry
of this region.

vice is expected any day. 1t cost S4,-
