FLoRIDA's BIGGEST GARAGE
Hewitt Brothers Building 1t in
Punta Gorda

Constructed of brick and con-
crete, 80 x 200 feet, the new gar
age which is being constructed for
Hewitt Brothers, the hardware
dealers, is "thing Of beauty
and will be a "joy forever" we
hope.
Ten years ago the Hewitt boys
opened up hardware store in
Punta Gorda and they have pros
pered and continued to prosper,
until this building was made pos
sible to meet the demands of the
times.
This building is Of the hangar
type, having no supporting posts
or beams. In the front is one of
the largest plate glass windows in
the country-7 x 13 feet.
In the front of the building will
be stock room and ladies wait
ing room and the office.
There will be a large and we'll
lighted repair department in the
rear. There will be entrances
and exits in the front and rear.
A ventilator runs the full length
of the comb, which will make the
building well-ventilated and airy.
The color design is beautiful,
being a blending of red and ma
hogany. The red Of the mission
brick and the mahogany of the
stained doors.
1t will be lighted throughout
with electricity and will have all
modern equipments, including
sewer connections and toilets.
There will be five doors and
twenty-five large windows.
There will be wash-rack for
cars and plenty of room for stab
ling cars. Gas and oil, auto ac-
cessories, compressed air, repair
ing etc, the same as all garages
furnish, will be ready for the au-
toist.
The work of construction was
begun in May and will be rushed
to completion. This is the larg-
est, handsomest and most COM
plete garage in South Florida, and
Punta Gorda is duly proud of it.
The estimated cost is $4,000,
and, as it looks to the writer, it
will be worth the cost and-then
some.
Moral Come to Punta Gorda
which, if it does not now, will
soon lead the world.

Remedy for Pneumonia

A local reader Of The Valdosta,
(Ga.) Times clipped the following
from that paper and left it at this
office for publication, thinking
that, perhaps, it will be of benefit
to some people who may not be
able to secure the services Of a
practicing physician at will:
"a good woman over in Brooks
county sends The Times "a valua-
BILE harmless remedy for pneu-
monia, which we give herewith /:
Take six or eight onions, accord
ing to size, and chop them up fine
into hot oven; add one quart of
the best apple vinegar, stir often
and add enough rye or corn meal
to make a thick paste; put into
cotton bags and make a poultice
large enough to cover the lungs
and apply to the chest as hot as
the patient can bear it. Continue
by reheating the poultice. In four
or five hours the patient will be
out of danger. She says the rem
edy never fails"

A BIG LOCAL ENTERPRISE
Browns Marine Railway at Cleve.
land

Very few people who have pass
ed Cleveland on the train or along
the river or wagon road; imagine
what great enterprise is being
conducted at Cleveland by George
Brown, colored.
Three hundred feet into the wa
ters of Peace river extend his
ways, which have capacity OF
three large boats at a time. Upon
this ways the boats are brought
up from the river by steam en-
gine. A specially constructed
carriage, 110 feet in length, which
can be adjusted to hulls of differ
ent shapes, receives them and
brings them up for repairs. A
covered, movable house on wheels,
is there to keep the boats from
the weather.
In a building to itself is the car
penter shop, where the wood
work of boat bilding is done. In
this shop is a ten-horse power gas
oline engine and all necessary ma
chinery.
In another building is the
blacksmith and machine shop.
Here, also, is a ten-horse power
engine and the necessary tools
and machinery.
Then comes the storage house,
where all supplies are kept. Ev-
erything is purchased in whole
sale lots
In gigantic building is his
boat storage rooms. Here is the
"Aroostook," the fine steam
yacht of Charles A. Dean, Of Bos-
ton. In this building are numer-
Gus boats belonging to men from
all over the world, and once a
week Browns employees go ov-
er them and turn the engines over
and see that they are in running
order and ready for the advent of
the owners.
In another building is housed
the "Miakka," a fine boat.
A network of tracks covers the
water front, the main track ex-
tending into the water 300 feet,
the same distance that the ways
extend. BY system of switch
ing, Brown has made it possible
to put in or take out any boat at
pleasure. Every boat has its own
car.
The works are, located on a 30
acre water front. The main
tore-house is 800 feet over all.
Brown has built up his business
gradually and will soon erect a
new office. The timbers for this
are already on the ground
He calls his business "The
Cleveland Marine Railway
Brown has recently recovered
from an attack of pneumonia.

new FRUIT EXCHANGE
BEGINS OPERATIONS
Packing House Here Handling
Many Cars
BIG BUSINESS BEING DONE
Fort Ogden Packing House Closed
and Fruit Coming Here, as Well
as From the Islands Below and
the Nearby Groves.

The Florida Citrus Exchange in
the Punta Gorda district is now
non-existent, as far as buying
fruit this year is concerned. The
Standard Growers Exchange has
purchased the packing house and
equipment here and are now in
control They also have purchas-
ed the packing houses at Eustis
and Orlando. In addition to
these, they already own packing
houses in Fort Myers, Arcadia,
Bowling Green, Manatee, Frost
proof, Eagle Lake and Miami.
The company is composed of
men from different parts of the
country; one, S. P. Bruton of Fort
Myers, being the only one from
this section of the country who is
a stockholder.
The company has been in ex-
istence about eighteen months.
1t bought out the I'll. E. Schrader
interests about that long ago and
began business. Last winter it
did business under the Schrader
name.
The Standard Exchange here is
under the management of G. ID.
Hawkins, formerly of Fort Myers,
lately of Fort Ogden, who is ex-
perienced in the business and a
pleasant gentleman. Mr.. Hawkins
informs The Herald that he ex-
poets to ship through the packing
house here this season $4,000
boxes of citrus fruit. The Ex-
change has purchased fruit from
Shell and Alligator Creek grow
ers, from Fort Ogden and Pine
Island growers, and the packing
house at Ogden will not be open
ed this year-the fruit will be
brought here and packed.
Mr.. Hawkins estimates that
there will be $4,000 boxes of fruit
from Alligator and Shell Creek
sections; 5000 from Fort Ogden
and the remainder from groves
near or in town.
At Alligator Creek, the Ex-
change has purchased the fruit
from the groves of A. F. Dewey,
Chadwick Bros, J. Mizell and E.
Nv. Smith.
AT Shell Creek, it has purchased
the fruit from the groves of
Charles Goodell, David Yeomans,
Frank Cooper, A. c. Jordan and
Huckeby and Koon.
At Fort Ogden, j. Henry john
son, J. w. Bennett, Joe Walker,
III. G. Beebe, j. III. Caraway and
/. B. Thomas have sold their fruit
to this exchange.
Twenty people are employed at
the packing house here, exclusive
of the manager. Eleven of these
are women. There are fourteen
packers, two box makers, two
graders, one inspector, one feeder,
one wagon loader and one. car
loader. The exchange is short one
or more hands this week.
Two trucks and three teams are
employed in hauling the fruit.
The longest haul being made now
is eight miles.
Mr.. Bruton has made arrange
ments to have 800 acres of toma-
toes put in, which will be packed
at the local house of the exchange.
This business will put great
deal Of money in circulation in
Punta Gorda, which will add con-
siderably to the business of the
town.
