Bringin. Produce to City

This motor truck express business we have just started is going to prove popu- lar with the farmers said J. C. Earle of the Pan Transfer company. "Every- where along each of the routes estab- lished they say this service will enable them to dispose of their poultry and pro- duce and buy such things as they need without taking the time off to come to the city. One of our trucks a few days ago brought in 800 dozen> eggs at one trip, and very few of these eggs would have come to the city had it not been for the motor truck service" .

Advertising Tint PuIIs

'1 advertised in last Sundays Age Herald that l would make a trip to Gulfport on February p, and would be glad to take any prospective purchaser down on that date and show them my choice acreage on the gulf coast" said E. c. Cox. But the ad has produced so much business that it will compel me to take some of my customers down next Sunday, and then meet a crowd one week later.
 "Rumors of dry docks and other big doings in the harbor at Gulfport has many investors guessing, and they want to get in on the ground floor before ad- vances start. There is a movement now on foot among some outsiders to buy all vacant city lots in the city proper. and the natives are getting double for their holdings.

Placing Bull In Hotel Lobby

T have had many curious requests made Of me since I have been in the hotel business said Fred Shireman, the genial manager of the Tutwiler, who was in a reminiscent mood, but l believe the one which came the nearest of getting my goat was the request to permit the prize Red Cross bull to be exhibited in
 the lobby. I knew it was the favorite
 place for bull throwing, but to permit
 real live one to invade the place set apart for conversational mateadors got me rattled; but after thinking it over I concluded I would take a chance by warning all ladies with red dresses, shirt waists or hats to confine themselves to
 the balcony. l. proved to be a great ad- vertisement for the sale
