The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11

A lot of eminent gentlemen
have declared that they are run
ming or will run for governor.
They should get together and cast
lots to decide upon two Of their
number to run and the rest OF
them keep out of the race. They
will do something like this, if they
have any regard for the best in
terest of the state and of the Dem
ocratic party. 1t was the ridicu-
lous number of candidates in the
primary of three years ago that
gave Florida the most ridiculous
governor the state has ever had.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11

Young man, if you would de-
vote as much time to your work as
you do to growing a moustache,
you would be better able to sup
port a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Times.
Goodness gracious, Brother
Johnston! Are your Alphabetical
youths growing moustaches? In
this region, they are considered
cffete, out of fashion, and Andy
Carter regards them as actually
reprehensible.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11
Here's a little niece of evidence

Here's a little piece of evidence
of profiteering in Tampa: A Punta
Gorda lady sent a crate of man.
goes to her sister in Tampa to be
sold. On receiving them, the sis
ter 'phoned a wholesale produce
concern and asked what they
would pay for the crate of man
goes. Answer was, fifty cents.
The sister then 'phoned to a
Franklin street retailer and asked
what he would give. Three dol
lars, he answered, and he said it
was the price he had to pay the
wholesale produce dealer. The
Punta Gorda lady got the three
dollars and bought her husband a
shirt with the money. District
Attorney Phillips should look
after those wholesale produce
men. Punta Gorda people have
to pay outrageously high prices
for apples, cantaloupes, onions,
Irish potatoes and other eatables,
all of which come from Tampa.
Well wager that the producers
do not get one-half the price
which Punta Gorda retailers have
to pay the Tampa wholesale pro
duce dealers.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11

From last weeks Arcadia En-
terprise: eve would suggest to
our merchants to buy few car
loads Of goods from jacksonville.
That might have more effect than
rcams of paper written up in pro-
tests and appeals. "-Punta Gorda
grocers might take this suggestion
to themselves, for it appears that
Tampa wholesale grocers, par
ticularly Tampa wholesale pro
duce dealers, charge higher prices
than do the wholesalers OF any
other city in the country. At any
rate, the consumers in Tampa s
wholesale trade territory have to
pay more for groceries than &c
the people in any other territory
and we are sure that the retail
grocers are not to blame Tor it
For instance: everywhere else
consumers are getting sugar fol
lie a pound, but Punta Cord;
folks have to pay lie.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11

Whoever devised the high-heel-
ed, sharp-toed shoes for women,
ought to be crucifed. He has
caused more suffering and hypoc-
risy than any other man except
the Kaiser who has been a curse
to the world. The government
ought to enact a law making it a
penitentary offence for any one to
make such shoes. 1t is strange
that sensible women VIII persist
in wearing them.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1919-09-11

Travelling statesmen repreScn-
ting Tampa wholesale concerns,
mostly wholesale groceries, are
about twenty in number, we be-
iave. They are all very pleasant,
capable gentlemen and they earn
their salaries. Salary and travel
ing expenses of each will average,
we think, ten dollars a day,
amounting to 1850 year, Now
multiply this by twenty, and you
have over $4,000 a year which is
added to the prices which con-
sumers in this territory have to
pay. We think it fair estimate
to say that consumers of groceries
in this territory arc taxed nearly,
if not quite $4,000 year to pay
the salaries and travelling expen-
ses of those very agreeable and
able gentlemen who travel for
Tampa wholesale grocers. The
services Of these gentlemen can
easily be dispensed with and the
consumers thereby relieved of a
burden. The wholesalers should
get together and eliminate this I'M
necessary expense.

At the end Of the War Between

AT the end of the War Between
the States, the paper currency oil
the government was at discount
1t took about a dollar and thirty
cents Of it to buy a gold dollar.
Now, at the close of the greatest
war in history, gold dollar will
buy only one dollar in paper
money. In other words, it is the
gold dollar now that is at a dis
count, and the gold miners are
bowling about it.
