BANKER cHAM5LlSS ENGAGED IN
A GOOD WORK

Mr.. z. C. Chambliss. vice president
of the Munroe and Chambiiss nation
al bank of this city, is treasurer and
a membr of the board Of directors
of the Greater Florida association,
with a number of other prominent
geutlement of the state.
The purposes of the association are
stated to properly advertise the ad,
vant8ges and resources of Florida.
which strangely enough are still I'm,
known to a vast number of people
seeking profitable investments and
healthful and salubrious locations.
One of the foremost purposes Of
the association is to assist in getting
fair traffic regulations for the ship
ment of our fall and winter products.
providing for reduced rates of tourist
travel and assist in all things for
the betterment Of Florida.
A campaign is to be conducted in
every county to secure members
among business men who are interest
ed in the purposes of the association.
The campaign in this county will
begin at once. Memberships in the
association costs $40, payable 81 an.
nually for q period OF five years, so
it is hoped that the membership will
embrace a larag part of the popula.
ton of most of our cities and towns
and progressive citizens living in ru.
raj localities.
Literature is to be prepared which
will advertise the advantages of
Florida and as queries are received
by members concerning FTorida's op-
portunities, this literature is to be
mailed out. Local newspapers in ev-
cry county are to be used in follow-up
campaigns In proportion to the mem.
bership in each county.
The president of the association is
G.. 5. Ware, Leesburg; vice presidents
are F. c. Grower, Jacksonville and
D. G. Gillett, Tampa; the secretary
is J. P Rurler, Villas; and the treas
urer q. G. ChambIiss, Ocala. Mem
bers of the board Of directors are: w.
! A. Blount, Pensacola; R. L. DoIlings,
Green Cove Springs: j. M. Bruguer,
les, West Palm Beach and DIR. J. Il.
Poss, Florence Villa
In making Mr. Chamblis treasurer
/ and member of the board of direc.
tors the association has made a wise
selection for we are reminded that
this section Of Florida is indebted to
Mr.. Chambliss for blazing the way for
! a better hog and cattle industry and
was also foremost in advocating and
becoming the leader in planting the
velvet bean and peanut on a large
scale.
i We hope that all will join the asso.
citation and all pull together for a
Greater Florida.
Az This very moment congress is
appropriating fifty million dollars to
help out the farmers in the drought
stricken districts of Texas, calam-
ity that has never yet befallen the
/ Florida farmers, and never has farm
ing offered such magnificent opportu,
mites as now confronting the Florida
farmers and fruit growers.
1t is an opportune moment 10 make
known the splendid possibilities that
! lie in the prolific womb of our state
and this paper hopes that all will
rally in lifting up the hands of this
association. .
