CORRECTING a
= GRoUNCLE SS REPORT

During the past three weeks a.
number o fmy friends have stated tot
me that a report is being circulated
that | am going to leave Ocala and
move to Jacksonville At first the
idea o. such 4 move on my part seem
ed so absurd that | cast it aside as
one would joke. but after number
of friends approached me, the matter.
has taken on a different phase and
feel that in justice to nv friends, my
business and myself that 1 should
take this method of correction the
absolutely grOundless report. SHch a
moce has never once entered my
mind and to me it seems would be a
more than foolish move. Why should
I think OF leaving OcaIa? l find no
other hand l see every reason why
shout remain here-iAy native home,
where | have liivied from nay child
hood up-where | have established
a business Of which l am justly proud
in the city and the county second to
none in my opinion in the state and il
affords me great pleasure to call
Ocala and Marion County home, and
here l expect 20 remain and continue
TO build my business en- the same
lines and principles as has been my
policy heretofore: upon the solid
foundation of honest dealing, honest
merchandise and endeavOring to gave
TO every customer one hundred cents
in value for every dollar | receive.
To give up my business here and go
elsewhere would be like one who has
striven with all fair means to win a
coveted prize aud when it's won he
casts il away AID seeks to wiz an
other Such a man is foolish. 1 ana
not My business has beea sns 81
steady. conservative growth There
has been no reason for me to cry
hard times and no one has heard me
cry nor will they AS evidence of my
faith in Marion County. Ocala aud
myself. l have now the largest stock
fmens ana boys ready -tc-wear
garments clothing, shoes, etc. than
ever before contracted for fall deliv-
cry, which Wiz ae delivered, bought
long since and at prices that could
not touch the same values today, and
intend TO sell at a propertionate saw
ing 70 my cust0mers. No store in
Ocaia can show the varied asscrt-
ment of dependable merchandise for
men and boys that tAis store has and
will display for fall and winter
Thanking NY customers and friends
for their very loyal patronage and
with a cordial Invitation to come and
see me at the same old place and as
surfing them Of my earnest aad faith

LIBERTY BOND ISSUES
ABSORB SOCK BANKS
Hoarded Wealth Drawn From Secret
Places BY Uncle Sans Call For
Safe Investment.

Seek, bed tielings, tin cans and
other improvised savings banks" are
rapidly going into tie discard. and the
boarded wealth they contained is
gradually finding its way into the
vaults of Uncle Sam through the
Liberty Bond route.
Experts in savings say that more
than 95 per cent of the money boarded
and hidden away is so kept because OF
the ignorance Of its owners, who arc
suspicious of banks and unwilling to
allow their wealth to ges out of their
hands.
Years of education by savings
banks AID trust companies lave serv-
ed to overcome much of this distrust,
but no agency has -ver proved as
potent in unearshing secreted savings
as the United States Liberty Bond
issues.
Publicity regarding Liberty Bonds
has been SO iateasivcly handled that
full knowledge = their safety as in
vestme.ts and patriotic features of
their purchase has filtered into quar-
ters not heretofore reached b. bank
literature.
The result has been bringing to
light of vast sums which heretofore
have been taken from commerce and
industry and hidden away by the saw
ing and thrifty. Even greaser sums
from tho same source VIII &c into the
new issue.
Even the most ignorant and Hitter
ate hoarder of his money can be made
to understand that the United States
Government is firmly back Of the
bonds He can also be impressed that
his purchas e helps to strengthen the
position Of the Government thus max
ing his wealth tie more secure.
Oree the hoarder has gotten used to
being parted frcm his money. he viii
rarely revert to putting his funds IN
to sock, and the ultimate result will
be the adding Of incalcuable sums to
the commercial medium of exchange.
Every dollar in circulation and in the
banks Increases three-fold the credit
basis Of the unit Of wealth.
Experts in savings are unanimous
that the Liberty Bonds educational
value in the field Of savings has never
been equaled- The temporary with
drawals from savings accounts viii in
the long run more than be made up
when the proceeds Of the bonds 20 in
10 circulation. and the stream Of inter
est payments begin to flow to the
owners.
Further. the sock saver can be
shown that he need never fear theft
OF los, especially If he elects to buy
registered bonds.
History and romance are full Of
stories Of stolen savings and tears
and offerings through the losses.
Liberty Bonds can put = period to all
such unhappy experiences.
