If you are not one of the million
people who now reside in Florida but
are one of those 80 other millions who
are trying to get fixed to come to this
state to live. you can just count this
your lucky day, as the history of your
life will all date either "before" or
"after" you meet the charming Miss
Ocala.
If you live in Florida you very
likely already know the lady.
Honest now. every time I go to see
her / can think of nothing else for
days and days, and she is always in
Producing me to some new accomplish
ment of hers or showing me some ad-
ditional resource which is her very
own. If could marry her just as she
is today, to the exclusion of every
other suitor,, / would come into the
joint possession of right around four
millions of dollars worth of property.
Or rather, that's her tax returns, but
just between you and me it only rep
resents about half her values.
Pretty nice town, don't you think
And what's more to the point, she's
aetown of dollars and sense-that's a
great combination I tell you.
But listen, she has host of admir-
ers and faithful friends who reside all
around her in that great county of
Marion, who, having taken her advice
in the past and who have been aided
by her in worthy ventures, stand ever

terests and preserve her beauty. So
take my advice and don't try to pull
off any "get-rich-quick" stunt near
there in an endeavor to win favor
around Ocala. Wearing imitation
jewelry never did anyone any good,
least of all in Marion county. Even
diamonds of the first water look bet
ter in the evening than across the
breakfast table. Don't try to four
flush Miss Ocala. Her folks are
quality" folks. Fine birds have fine
feathers but they know how to wear
them, and by the same token the
homes of the people of Ocala and
Marion county are such as prove con-
clusively that culture, refinement and
progress are happily blended in the
citizenship. And there's a welcome
for you in business, fraternity or re-
ligion.
Having thus been assured of the
"blood" in the Ocala family, you may
now be interested in learning some.
thing about the bank account, family
silver and number of broad acres of
this fair lady's folks.
One million and sixty-one thousand
acres in Marion.
Half million acres can be bought
reasonable. l doubt, however, if
there's observation-disclosures of this
land actually "for sale" although, hav-
ing made much money themselves,
many are willing to dispose of part of
their holdings for the sake of desir-
able new neighbors. Furthermore,
fewer acres, comparatively, are re-
quired in this day of intensive farm
ing, hence almost every family has
some lands to spare. And what still
further proves that these people are
equality" folks through and through,
they will part with some very desir-
able lands. some acres as good as any
they possess, for price that's not a
'hold-up" or anything like it.
The lands of Marion county are
worth the price any day in the year,
and will never be so cheap again. The
